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.

Look at your window dressings like curtains and/or blinds to maximise internal insulation. 4. Install insulation on the roof where applicable. 5. Landscape home gardens according to the orientation of the building and existing window schedules. Plant evergreen or deciduous according to winter and summer months to create shade in areas where there are big windows that receive full sun in summer and in the winter months the leaves fall to allow the sunshine in; this will give you natural heating and cooling of the building. 6. Fit carpeting where there are tiles or use a rug to create warmth in cold areas. Recycle organic waste and use it in the garden instead of using fertilisers. These can be stored in summer to keep the temperature down. 7. Recycle waste. Recycleable waste that goes in...
