—————————-

As at the end of August 2017 the national house price inflation index was at 4.1 %.

The market has since stabilized in the 3%-7% range following a slowdown over recent months as shown by the provincial indices. Although this is true for most of them, we have on the one hand the North-West province which is still recovering and showing some optimism, and a buoyantly growing Northern Cape index on the other currently at 22.4%.
