Strand Background Information : General : The Strand offers you the convenience of city-like amenities & a world-class beach area - without losing its small town characteristics. Located in the Helderberg basin on the eastern edge of False Bay, it is within 20 minutes of Cape Town International airport & 45 minutes from Cape Town's CBD. Within a radius of 10 kilometers, you will find a Regional Shopping Centre, a variety of sports facilities including 4 golf courses, choice of secondary and primary schools, top medical facilities with all national financial & commercial institutions represented. It has a population of about 50 000. It main attraction is its 5 kilometers long sandy white beach – with a variety of water sports such as surfing, sailing, power boating, kayak & paddle skiing, wind-surfing & board sailing being enjoyed at various points along the beach front. Strand was nominated the best family beach in South Africa in 2007. Strand was founded in 1714 as a fishing town by Cape Malay slaves. It has evolved during the last 3 decades into vibrant part of the Helderberg basin, with a healthy mixture of retirees, families, business people & a seasonal inflow of holiday goers flocking to one of South Africa’s prime seaside destinations. The coast between the Lourens River mouth up to Rooi Els is very popular with beach fishermen and rock anglers, whilst organised and social diving activities beckon the more adventurous. Property Market : Properties in the Strand varies between entry level apartments of +- R300 000 to beachfront penthouses of more than R10 million & sea front houses up to R14 million. The biggest property growth points as of late has been the choice of new developments on Beach Road which is springing up - raising comparatives with Monte Carlo. Limitation on development ground bodes well in the long term for any property investment in the Strand. Capital growth rates achieved in the Strand during the 2004/2005 upswing in the South African property market, surpassed the national average rate of 23% by far...... Entry level units started in 2003 @ R90 000 for a 30sq.m 1-bedroom apartment - selling at present from R310000. That is a growth of 244% in 3,5 years or about 70% per year! Beach front apartments were selling in 2003 from about R6000 per sq.m to about R9000 per sq.m. Finding any beachfront property for less than R11 000 per sq.m is at present problematic. New developments has already been selling during the last 18 months for between R18 000 and R30 000 per sq.m - depending on its finishes and the units location in the apartment block. The own title neighborhoods have of late seen a surge in renovations with owners adding value to their properties - fuelled by the price hikes experienced in the town. The more sought after suburbs such as Strand North, has experienced capital growth rates between 2003 & 2006 of about 150 % (43% p.a.) - with the average house price raising from R450 000 to about R1,1 million. Capital growth in the Strand has during the last months of 2007 & beginning 2008 dropped from the abovementioned high levels along with the rest of the country – with buyers taking control of the market. Affordability has during the last year became a problem in the Strand market, creating a "roll-over effect" of potential buyers to less expensive areas such a Kuilsrivier, Brackenfell and even Grabouw. The adjacent Gordons Bay has experience very similar capital growth rates than the Strand. Future growth points in the Strand property market is the so-called AECI development node across from the Somerset Mall. This will be the last land available for development - eagerly awaited by investors.
