CiMSO Empowers Golf Estate Property Surge

The conclusion of the Covid-19 pandemic has sparked a surge in demand for homes situated within golf estates. The Seeff Property Group notes a substantial average growth of 8-10% in these estates, attributing the interest primarily to lifestyle appeal rather than investment potential.

The Cape region, in particular, has witnessed an impressive doubling in the value of estates over the last five to eight years. Most sales fall within the R3 million to R14 million range, with notable sales surpassing R20 million.

Particularly in affluent neighbourhoods like Constantia and the Winelands, rental rates for golf estate properties have skyrocketed, fetching monthly returns of over R60,000 to over R100,000.

Golf estates are popular among buyers looking for a change in their lifestyle as well as for secondary homes.

Although the Cape is still a popular option, there has been a considerable surge in demand for golf estate properties in other areas, including Centurion, Pretoria East, Zimbali, and Hartbeespoort.
