Repo rate cuts bring hope in SA
According to Property24, the recent repo rate drop creates better conditions for aspiring homeowners. The South African Reserve Bank announced a 25 basis point drop in the repo rate on 31 July, bringing it down to 7% and lowering the prime lending rate to 10.50%.
Craig Mott from Rawson Property Group explains that even small rate reductions help in today's market and boost confidence among buyers. For first-time buyers, this means slightly improved affordability and stronger incentives to enter the property market.
The rate cut comes at a time when inflation remains within the Reserve Bank's target range at 3%, creating more stable economic conditions. However, households still face rising costs in essentials like food and utilities, making homeownership achievements like @kaylakimkay's even more impressive.
Ryan Greeff from Quay 1 International Realty says the rate reduction will lower monthly bond repayments and make homeownership more accessible. His company achieved over R1.4 billion in closed deals during the first half of 2025, showing growing buyer confidence.
