2010 PROVIDES SA WITH OPPORTUNITIES
Preliminary figures indicate that the South African tourism industry can expect a huge
fillip from the Soccer World Cup – provided that new development is done with an eye
on the environment.
Quoting recent figures more than 100 000 international visitors were counted during the
opening days of the soccer tournament, with more expected as it progresses towards
the final.
Moreover, the country benefited from a 34% increase in inbound tourism spending
during the first quarter of 2010 – arguably thanks to the additional interest in the
country generated by the World Cup. And tourists generally, as well as soccer fans
who will undertake short tours during their stay, are undoubtedly attracted by the
country’s famed wildlife and spectacular scenery.
Which presents a challenge for all stakeholders in the local property industry: while SA
faces pressing housing and infrastructural needs, new development simply must take
account of the impact on the environment and thus on future tourism, which is one of
South Africa’s most promising sources of foreign exchange, not to mention the
opportunities it holds to create much needed jobs.
Stakeholders, which include homebuyers as well as town planners and developers,
should wholeheartedly commit themselves to sustainable development that is
environmentally responsible. Putting the brakes on urban sprawl is imperative to
prevent degradation of our natural attractions.
One way of limiting encroaching development is to take a......

registry ‘title deed’ documents (the Turkish equivalent are called TAPU) and registered in your name.
Apartments
Each luxury apartment block has been designed with six apartments, laid out over three levels, with two, two
bedroom apartments on each level.

The Hillside Village development has been extended to include an additional eight high quality linkedvillas to be
built in the Venetian style, unique to this area, with fantastic panoramic bay and mountain views.

WEEKLY PROPERTY UPDATE
Although it’s over for Bafana Bafana the World Cup stay
spoken about and supported by many South Africans.
Furthermore it has raised South Africans' expectations of
what the country can achieve in the future.
One lessons the World Cup offers on the stock market is
that you must watch your margin of safety. The same
with real estate. Turnarounds happens all the time and
almost anything can happen.
Is the property sector benefitting from the influx of the
World Cup visitors? I suppose it’s one of those things
that is not easy to counter for as the effect might only
show in years to come. One thing we can say is that
South Africa did an excellent job in showcasing the
property industry.

SMALLER HOUSES IN BIG DEMAND
Financial pressure pushing South Africans to purchase
smaller houses.
Good news for homeowners of small houses who are
looking to sell up and buy something larger, is that
smaller houses (80m²-140m²) are the strongest growth
category in the year-on-year figures, read Upward trend
in house price growth continues.
The average nominal value of small houses continued
on the upward growth trend rising 29.2% year on year in
May after rising by a revised 24,4 year on year in April.
This brought the average nominal price of homes in this
category to about R843 700 in May.

FOREIGN BUYERS ADVICE
With Cape Town suddenly taking on a truly international
look as a result of the influx of World Cup visitors - South
Africa is one of the easiest countries in the world in
which to buy a residential property.
Unlike so many countries, the red tape and restrictions
are minimal and the SA Reserve Bank allows you to
repatriate your money if and when you decide to sell.
South Africa does list overseas buyers as non-residents
unless they take out SA citizenship – but it is
exceptionally accommodating to them.
Firstly, if the buyer is paying with cash, he must ensure
that he has his own copies of the title deeds and
financial documents and that these are stored in a safe
place. They will have to be produced if the buyer at any
stage chooses to sell and repatriate his cash.
Read more.
GOOD NEWS FOR THE HOUSING MARKET
"CGT was the main story, as the proposed increase was
heavily trailed in advance. In reality the rise to 28% for
high-rate tax payers is a non-issue for the housing
market.
"The rise is coming into play overnight - so there will be
no sudden sell-off of second homes or investment
properties. The new rate takes us back to a similar rate
to where we were under the pre-2008 rules, when taper
relief was able to reduce a 40% headline rate of CGT to
24%.
"With higher-rate CGT at 28% the argument for property
investment still looks strong, and capital gains still
compare very favourably with income tax at 40%.

ACCOMMODATION INDUSTRY INCREASE
Total income for the accommodation industry increased
4,2% year on year in April to R966,8m, according to data
from Statistics SA released yesterday.
TAFF REPORTER
These figures show that the accommodation industry is
gaining momentum although the spin-offs of the Soccer
World Cup will be known only at a later date.
Total income for the accommodation industry for the
three months ended April increased 0,9% from the three
months ended April last year.
Income from accommodation rose 0,5% from the three
months ended April last year, mainly due to an increase
of 4,6% in the average income per stay unit night sold
during the same period.

WHAT HAS 2010 DONE FOR SA
South Africa has been a busy place over the last few
weeks. With the World Cup kicking off less than a
fortnight ago, the country has been dealing with the
enormous influx of visitors arriving from all over the
world. Hundreds of thousands have come steaming in
to enjoy the finals for the first time on the African
continent. Between June 1 and June 21, the South
African Department of Home Affairs reported 682,317
foreigners arrived in the country. Not surprisingly, the
majority of visitors came from the UK, Germany, USA,
Brazil, Netherlands, and Argentina. The local population
in South Africa and neighboring countries hasn’t been
quite as high in numbers, but the country has definitely
seen an enormous rise in tourism since the tournament
began.

CAN LANCE WIN THE TOUR DE FRANCE
From his first, unprecedented Tour de France victory in
1999 just three years after being diagnosed with
testicular cancer, the seven-time champion's ability to
confound expectations has become legendary among
the public and his fellow racers. On his way to a third
victory in 2001, he used the now-famous "bluff" to trick
his rivals into thinking he was weak and about to fall
behind. Then at the base of the final climb, he exploded
out of the pack to win the stage atop Alpe d'Huez. In
2003, Armstrong was the least prepared he'd been for
any of this Tour wins, and was under the fiercest
pressure yet from the other contenders when Joseba
Beloki crashed in front of him on a high-speed mountain
descent; Armstrong swerved off the road, bumped over a
grassy field, dismounted and hopped a drainage ditch
then neatly rejoined the pack on the road below the site
of the carnage. Later that same year, knocked down on a
climb when a spectator's bag snagged his handlebar,
Armstrong remounted then powered up Luz Ardiden to
not only catch his rivals but win the stage-on a snapped
bike frame.

2010 PROVIDES SA WITH OPPORTUNITIES
Preliminary figures indicate that the South African tourism industry can expect a huge
fillip from the Soccer World Cup – provided that new development is done with an eye
on the environment.
Quoting recent figures more than 100 000 international visitors were counted during the
opening days of the soccer tournament, with more expected as it progresses towards
the final.
Moreover, the country benefited from a 34% increase in inbound tourism spending
during the first quarter of 2010 – arguably thanks to the additional interest in the
country generated by the World Cup. And tourists generally, as well as soccer fans
who will undertake short tours during their stay, are undoubtedly attracted by the
country’s famed wildlife and spectacular scenery.
Which presents a challenge for all stakeholders in the local property industry: while SA
faces pressing housing and infrastructural needs, new development simply must take
account of the impact on the environment and thus on future tourism, which is one of
South Africa’s most promising sources of foreign exchange, not to mention the
opportunities it holds to create much needed jobs.
Stakeholders, which include homebuyers as well as town planners and developers,
should wholeheartedly commit themselves to sustainable development that is
environmentally responsible. Putting the brakes on urban sprawl is imperative to
prevent degradation of our natural attractions.
One way of limiting encroaching development is to take a......

registry ‘title deed’ documents (the Turkish equivalent are called TAPU) and registered in your name.

WEEKLY PROPERTY UPDATE
Although it’s over for Bafana Bafana the World Cup stay
spoken about and supported by many South Africans.
Furthermore it has raised South Africans' expectations of
what the country can achieve in the future.
One lessons the World Cup offers on the stock market is
that you must watch your margin of safety. The same
with real estate. Turnarounds happens all the time and
almost anything can happen.
Is the property sector benefitting from the influx of the
World Cup visitors? I suppose it’s one of those things
that is not easy to counter for as the effect might only
show in years to come. One thing we can say is that
South Africa did an excellent job in showcasing the
property industry.

SMALLER HOUSES IN BIG DEMAND
Financial pressure pushing South Africans to purchase
smaller houses.
Good news for homeowners of small houses who are
looking to sell up and buy something larger, is that
smaller houses (80m²-140m²) are the strongest growth
category in the year-on-year figures, read Upward trend
in house price growth continues.
The average nominal value of small houses continued
on the upward growth trend rising 29.2% year on year in
May after rising by a revised 24,4 year on year in April.
This brought the average nominal price of homes in this
category to about R843 700 in May.

FOREIGN BUYERS ADVICE
With Cape Town suddenly taking on a truly international
look as a result of the influx of World Cup visitors - South
Africa is one of the easiest countries in the world in
which to buy a residential property.
Unlike so many countries, the red tape and restrictions
are minimal and the SA Reserve Bank allows you to
repatriate your money if and when you decide to sell.
South Africa does list overseas buyers as non-residents
unless they take out SA citizenship – but it is
exceptionally accommodating to them.
Firstly, if the buyer is paying with cash, he must ensure
that he has his own copies of the title deeds and
financial documents and that these are stored in a safe
place. They will have to be produced if the buyer at any
stage chooses to sell and repatriate his cash.
Read more.
GOOD NEWS FOR THE HOUSING MARKET
"CGT was the main story, as the proposed increase was
heavily trailed in advance. In reality the rise to 28% for
high-rate tax payers is a non-issue for the housing
market.
"The rise is coming into play overnight - so there will be
no sudden sell-off of second homes or investment
properties. The new rate takes us back to a similar rate
to where we were under the pre-2008 rules, when taper
relief was able to reduce a 40% headline rate of CGT to
24%.
"With higher-rate CGT at 28% the argument for property
investment still looks strong, and capital gains still
compare very favourably with income tax at 40%.

ACCOMMODATION INDUSTRY INCREASE
Total income for the accommodation industry increased
4,2% year on year in April to R966,8m, according to data
from Statistics SA released yesterday.
TAFF REPORTER
These figures show that the accommodation industry is
gaining momentum although the spin-offs of the Soccer
World Cup will be known only at a later date.
Total income for the accommodation industry for the
three months ended April increased 0,9% from the three
months ended April last year.
Income from accommodation rose 0,5% from the three
months ended April last year, mainly due to an increase
of 4,6% in the average income per stay unit night sold
during the same period.

WHAT HAS 2010 DONE FOR SA
South Africa has been a busy place over the last few
weeks. With the World Cup kicking off less than a
fortnight ago, the country has been dealing with the
enormous influx of visitors arriving from all over the
world. Hundreds of thousands have come steaming in
to enjoy the finals for the first time on the African
continent. Between June 1 and June 21, the South
African Department of Home Affairs reported 682,317
foreigners arrived in the country. Not surprisingly, the
majority of visitors came from the UK, Germany, USA,
Brazil, Netherlands, and Argentina. The local population
in South Africa and neighboring countries hasn’t been
quite as high in numbers, but the country has definitely
seen an enormous rise in tourism since the tournament
began.

CAN LANCE WIN THE TOUR DE FRANCE
From his first, unprecedented Tour de France victory in
1999 just three years after being diagnosed with
testicular cancer, the seven-time champion's ability to
confound expectations has become legendary among
the public and his fellow racers. On his way to a third
victory in 2001, he used the now-famous "bluff" to trick
his rivals into thinking he was weak and about to fall
behind. Then at the base of the final climb, he exploded
out of the pack to win the stage atop Alpe d'Huez. In
2003, Armstrong was the least prepared he'd been for
any of this Tour wins, and was under the fiercest
pressure yet from the other contenders when Joseba
Beloki crashed in front of him on a high-speed mountain
descent; Armstrong swerved off the road, bumped over a
grassy field, dismounted and hopped a drainage ditch
then neatly rejoined the pack on the road below the site
of the carnage. Later that same year, knocked down on a
climb when a spectator's bag snagged his handlebar,
Armstrong remounted then powered up Luz Ardiden to
not only catch his rivals but win the stage-on a snapped
bike frame.

bedroom apartments on each level.

WEEKLY PROPERTY UPDATE
Although it’s over for Bafana Bafana the World Cup stay
spoken about and supported by many South Africans.
Furthermore it has raised South Africans' expectations of
what the country can achieve in the future.
One lessons the World Cup offers on the stock market is
that you must watch your margin of safety. The same
with real estate. Turnarounds happens all the time and
almost anything can happen.
Is the property sector benefitting from the influx of the
World Cup visitors? I suppose it’s one of those things
that is not easy to counter for as the effect might only
show in years to come. One thing we can say is that
South Africa did an excellent job in showcasing the
property industry.

smaller houses.
Good news for homeowners of small houses who are

category in the year-on-year figures, read Upward trend

FOREIGN BUYERS ADVICE
With Cape Town suddenly taking on a truly international
look as a result of the influx of World Cup visitors - South
Africa is one of the easiest countries in the world in
which to buy a residential property.
Unlike so many countries, the red tape and restrictions
are minimal and the SA Reserve Bank allows you to
repatriate your money if and when you decide to sell.
South Africa does list overseas buyers as non-residents
unless they take out SA citizenship – but it is
exceptionally accommodating to them.
Firstly, if the buyer is paying with cash, he must ensure
that he has his own copies of the title deeds and
financial documents and that these are stored in a safe
place. They will have to be produced if the buyer at any
stage chooses to sell and repatriate his cash.

GOOD NEWS FOR THE HOUSING MARKET
"CGT was the main story, as the proposed increase was
heavily trailed in advance. In reality the rise to 28% for
high-rate tax payers is a non-issue for the housing
market.
"The rise is coming into play overnight - so there will be
no sudden sell-off of second homes or investment
properties. The new rate takes us back to a similar rate
to where we were under the pre-2008 rules, when taper
relief was able to reduce a 40% headline rate of CGT to
24%.
"With higher-rate CGT at 28% the argument for property
investment still looks strong, and capital gains still
compare very favourably with income tax at 40%.

ACCOMMODATION INDUSTRY INCREASE
Total income for the accommodation industry increased
4,2% year on year in April to R966,8m, according to data
from Statistics SA released yesterday.
TAFF REPORTER
These figures show that the accommodation industry is
gaining momentum although the spin-offs of the Soccer
World Cup will be known only at a later date.
Total income for the accommodation industry for the
three months ended April increased 0,9% from the three
months ended April last year.
Income from accommodation rose 0,5% from the three
months ended April last year, mainly due to an increase
of 4,6% in the average income per stay unit night sold
during the same period.

WHAT HAS 2010 DONE FOR SA
South Africa has been a busy place over the last few
weeks. With the World Cup kicking off less than a
fortnight ago, the country has been dealing with the
enormous influx of visitors arriving from all over the
world. Hundreds of thousands have come steaming in
to enjoy the finals for the first time on the African
continent. Between June 1 and June 21, the South
African Department of Home Affairs reported 682,317
foreigners arrived in the country. Not surprisingly, the
majority of visitors came from the UK, Germany, USA,
Brazil, Netherlands, and Argentina. The local population
in South Africa and neighboring countries hasn’t been
quite as high in numbers, but the country has definitely
seen an enormous rise in tourism since the tournament
began.

CAN LANCE WIN THE TOUR DE FRANCE
From his first, unprecedented Tour de France victory in
1999 just three years after being diagnosed with
testicular cancer, the seven-time champion's ability to
confound expectations has become legendary among
the public and his fellow racers. On his way to a third
victory in 2001, he used the now-famous "bluff" to trick
his rivals into thinking he was weak and about to fall
behind. Then at the base of the final climb, he exploded
out of the pack to win the stage atop Alpe d'Huez. In
2003, Armstrong was the least prepared he'd been for
any of this Tour wins, and was under the fiercest
pressure yet from the other contenders when Joseba
Beloki crashed in front of him on a high-speed mountain
descent; Armstrong swerved off the road, bumped over a
grassy field, dismounted and hopped a drainage ditch
then neatly rejoined the pack on the road below the site
of the carnage. Later that same year, knocked down on a
climb when a spectator's bag snagged his handlebar,
Armstrong remounted then powered up Luz Ardiden to
not only catch his rivals but win the stage-on a snapped
bike frame.
