RESIDENTIAL
Residential vs Commercial
The Key Differences
GERHARD KOTZÉ
MD, REALNET ESTATE AGENCY GROUP
“We can clearly see…different preferences
emerging among different groups of home-
buyers. The first of these is the growing de-
mand among young buyers for apartments
and townhouses in areas close to their work-
places - whether these are in the city centre
or decentralised commercial hubs.”

FOUNDER & CEO, WEALTH MIGRATE
“When technology disrupts an industry, it
does three things. It cuts out the middle-
men, reduces the costs and increase the
trust, transparency and accessibility. Think
Uber, Airbnb, or Apple, etc. Now technolo-
gy is doing the same thing to real estate
investing.”
SAMUEL SEEFF
CHAIRMAN, SEEFF
“The Cape will continue seeing strong migration
of people looking to move here from the rest of
the country, as anyone who is financially able to
will do so. At the same time, HNWI buyers will
continue putting more money into the Blue Chip
Atlantic Seaboard and City Bowl area compared
to the upper end Johannesburg/Sandton and
Pretoria East areas.”
