<\/a><\/p>\nProvincial changes<\/strong><\/p>\n According to Lighstone’s data,\u00a0by far the largest percentage of sectional title properties are sold in Gauteng.<\/p>\n This is attributed to the higher population density of cities and the demand for property near the business districts, said\u00a0Hayley Ivins-Downes, head of sales at Lightstone.<\/p>\n The graphs below show how the general make-up of homes have changed in the Western Cape, Gauteng and KwaZulu Natal over the past 5 years in main areas:<\/p>\n Western Cape<\/strong><\/p>\n Gauteng<\/strong><\/p>\n KwaZulu Natal<\/strong><\/p>\n When it comes to the typical size and price of sectional title units, in the Western Cape, 0-70 sqm units account for 51% of sales, 34% in Kwazulu-Natal and 36% in Gauteng.<\/p>\n The view of the number of bedrooms varies between the three provinces: In the Western Cape, one bedroom apartments attribute to 20% of sales and 59% of the Western Cape\u2019s sectional title units are two bedroom units.<\/p>\n These figures are the highest of all three provinces. According to Ivins-Downes, potential buyers would rather compromise on size and opt for a coastal home or a view.<\/p>\n “Overall the South African sales for sectional title properties experienced growth in all price brackets, but Western Cape enjoyed an especially high growth in the R1.2 million \u2013 R1.6 million brackets,”\u00a0Ivins-Downes said.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n<\/a><\/p>\n
