It’s been a challenging time for sales, but Jake Morgan and Ingrid Zwiers have a blazing trial of 5 successful sales in Ballito Hills this month, and with their dedicated approach to putting the energy and effort into sourcing stock that is market relevant they are determined to accelerate this momentum.
Lightstone data shows that during the first quarter of 2024 the average purchase was R1,377,014. and of all the property transactions, 71.4%, was below R1. 5 million. The sales Morgan and Zwiers concluded ranged from - R 1 195 000 up to R 1 950 000, with their average price being R 1.73 million, indicating their strategy is in line with market needs.
According to Zwiers what attracts their buyers to this estate is not only the affordability given the well sized units in Ballito Hills but also the exceptional choice of amenities that include car wash, laundromat, restaurant, gym, pools, soccer field, padel court, cinema, and concierge, to name a few. On top of all this the estate is pet-friendly (a real plus for Ballito) there is also a dog park, every unit no matter the size has a store room and a built in braai on the patio, and it is well positioned being centrally located in Ballito’s CBD close to schools, shops, hospital, entertainment, etc.
“Additionally”, comments Morgan “we have seen an upturn in the number of investment purchasers in Ballito. Because Ballito Hills allows both short term and long-term rentals, plus many amenities compared with competing products, the interest in this estate has also increased as these units provide a good income for investment buyers. “
“We also focus on ensuring we advise our clients on the positive attributes within the area as we truly believe in functioning as advisors. Through this, we hope to instill market confidence” continues Zwiers.
“Whilst success can certainly be attributed to hard work, and commitment, we also take great pride in adding the personal element” concludes Morgan. “Matching buyers to homes is a perfect piece of the jigsaw, but the best achievement is being part of the solution that results in two parties getting on with their lives, with only a brief pause in the process.”
