🚨 Major Update for South Africa! As of 19 September 2024, the South African Reserve Bank has cut the key interest rate by 25 basis points, bringing it down to 8%. This is a pivotal moment for many - lower borrowing costs mean that accessing financing will become more affordable, with the prime lending rate now at 11.50%. For those considering entering the property market, this change could stimulate activity and provide excellent opportunities for both buyers and sellers.
