Seeff Property Group says that people are increasingly choosing to relocate to smaller towns following the onset of the Covid pandemic, citing data from research group Lightstone.

Donna Nass, Seeff’s licensee for the area, said that the town’s proximity to Johannesburg and Pretoria makes it ideal. The large volume of estates in the area draws in a lot of people to the area, complemented by leisure and basic amenities around the town.

Only 90-minutes away from George and the beachfront, Ladismith offers an affordable alternative, with most properties ranging between R850,000 – R1.5 million. Rentals are priced at roughly R4,500 to R6,00 per month.Riversdale “Lifestyle farms in the R4 million to R5 million range are particularly sought after, and a sizable chunk of buyers are from around the Cape metro looking to relocate to the Southern Cape.”The coastal town of Gansbaai, just south of Hermanus also achieved record turnover over the last year. Marlene Uys, a property agent with Seeff Gansbaai said there has been an influx of buyers, largely from Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal.

Houses under R3 million seem to be most in-demand, but vacant land under R600,000 is also attracting interest. Affordable property has become very scarce, he said.
