South African Real Estate - Clean Beaches And Changing Scenery

Living in a Global Village, more and more people from all over the world have come to realize that one can live in one's own country and at the same time own South African real estate. It is rather easy to buy a holiday home or apartment in South Africa at very affordable prices.

It is more specifically the coastal areas that are drawing tourists to buy property as these areas offer spectacular views, vibrant entertainment and amazing tourist attractions.

As far as South African real estate is concerned, the Cape Garden Route for one, provides the enthusiastic golfer with world renowned courses where the immense Indian ocean is a backdrop to the flight of the little white ball. There are look-out posts over hundreds of kilometers where one can view the play of the whales during the mating season. The beaches are clean and the scenery changes consistently to provide endless variety of mountains, indigenous trees, dark deep rivers, game reserves, bird life and beautiful flowers.

Compared with prices at other international coastal destinations, property prices in South Africa are still relatively cheap. The prices will not stay this way, as the coming Soccer World Cup in 2010 will most likely draw much tourist attention and, as is always the case, with attractive propositions, the supply and demand equation will tilt heavily towards the demand side.

Many buyers of South African real estate already know that when they cannot utilize their coastal property, it can be rented out to other tourists without much effort in order to keep the holding costs down. The prices of prime coastal properties have continued to rise way above the South African inflation rate, and therefore provide the investor with solid capital growth opportunities.

The infrastructure is advanced enough to cater for various needs of visitors. One can, for example, land in Cape Town, board on a plane to George and an hour later be sitting on your verandah overlooking the ocean and the mesmerizing mountains.

Car rental companies have offices at all the airports, should one have the desire to find the serendipitous along the planned route by car. Tour operators are well trained to offer services that will take one to view sharks from cages below the water, lions hunting at night, famous battle fields, the locations where ancient people lived and where the film stars of today play.

The places of interest are endless and once one has decide to explore South Africa thoroughly, the time and desire to be anywhere else will become less and less. It therefore makes sense to own a comfortable piece of South African real estate in order to cement your unique exploring life style.

There are many estate agents that will be able and qualified to provide valuable information, but one should always discuss a proposition with various other agents to ensure the best qualified decision on investing in South African real estate.
