The Cape Peninsula’s South Peninsula –The Finest Lifestyle at Any Price! 22 July 2010 “”There has never been a better time to get your dream coastal home and lifestyle at a bargain price”” states Harold Kolnik Principal of Jawitz Properties South Peninsula. Our offices service the diverse coastal villages of Fish Hoek and surrounds, Glencairn, Simon’s Town, Noordhoek, Kommetjie and Scarborough. All these areas are about between 30 and 45 minutes drive to Cape Town but priced at least 30 to 60% cheaper than the equivalent home in the Southern suburbs or Atlantic Seaboard. Family homes in Fish Hoek can be purchased between R900 000 and R1.9 mil and apartments from R700 000. Renovation and fixer uppers can still be purchased for less for those handyman purchasers. The biggest bonanza purchasers discovered is the beach lifestyle, village atmosphere and family friendly environment that come with the home free of charge. A lot of our clients bought second homes in areas like Kommetjie, Scarborough and Simon’s Town and eventually sold their city homes and made their South Peninsula homes their prime dwelling. The internet has also been a factor in consultants and I T based individuals being able to operate from anywhere where there is broadband available. The highly developed shopping, educational and medical infra structure is more than adequate making commuting northwards unnecessary. Our offices have been busier than usual during these past winter months with many sales concluded from both Capetonian and National buyers. If this trend continues this could signal a slow but sure recovery and the stock shortages should lead to price increase by summer time.
