Norman Raad, CEO of Broll Auctions and Sales, said current market conditions offered value for investors who could \u201cmake calculated assumptions and mitigate risk with a vision for the future.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In July, the South African Reserve Bank reduced the interest rate by 25 basis points to 7% – the lowest level since November 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThis, together with increasing consumer confidence in South Africa during the second quarter of 2025, is reflected positively in the carefully curated properties available at our upcoming auction,\u201d Raad said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Highlights include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Affordable student living<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
A portfolio of four National Student Financial Aid Scheme-accredited student accommodation blocks is on offer, representing a secure investment in the consistently growing student housing market. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three of the accommodation blocks are strategically located in the bustling Johannesburg CBD\u2019s Rissik and Commissioner streets. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fourth is situated in the high-demand area of Nelspruit in Louis Trichardt Street.<\/p>\n\n\n
