💨 Abstract

South Africa's property market remains stable and profitable despite political and economic uncertainty. Property investment is attractive to risk-averse individuals and helps balance portfolios. The market shows steady returns, with annual national property price inflation reaching 5% in December. Young professionals drive demand for affordable housing, and the rental market is thriving with higher returns and low tenant arrears. Infrastructure is robust, and tourist interest in holiday homes boosts short-term rental opportunities.
