Interpret property info the right way

Jacques du Toit, property strategist at Absa, says in order to understand information about price growth, a good grasp of the factors that drive it is necessary. “Many factors can influence price growth. These factors relate to the property market and the household sector, which may include demand and supply conditions, initially driven by economic growth, inflation, interest rates, employment, household income, debt, the affordability of housing, etc.” He says the average price of houses in certain segments is calculated by dividing the total value of properties sold in a specific period in a specific segment by the number of those properties. “The overall average of middle-segment housing as defined by Absa – small, medium and large – is calculated by using the samples of each segment.

A common refrain, even on the heels of the bursting real estate bubble, is that renting an apartment is "throwing money away" compared with homeownership and the ability it offers to build equity and wealth. As if staggering foreclosure rates and underwater mortgages aren't enough to make a different case, consider that it is not just mortgage payments to worry about. There are interest payments, property taxes, homeowner's insurance, furnishings, utility bills, maintenance and repairs to add to the mix. Treating a home as an always-appreciating investment is no longer a smart strategy, and those who base their ability to pay a mortgage on projected earnings, rather than current paychecks, may be dangerously optimistic. Resolutions That Will Save You Money Make paying off debt a priority. Reducing your debt and excising the interest payments and accompanying fees is usually a good idea. But paying down debt shouldn't derail ...
