Nestled along South Africa’s scenic Garden Route, Mossel Bay offers a unique blend of coastal charm, small-town warmth, and modern convenience. It’s no wonder this picturesque town has become one of the Western Cape’s most desirable property destinations. From luxury golf estates to tranquil eco-developments, Mossel Bay’s residential estates cater to a wide range of lifestyles, whether you’re a retiree looking for peace and quiet, a family seeking safety and schools, or an investor eyeing the town’s growth potential.

The South African property market is showing signs of recovery, but the pace remains slow and uneven. The latest FNB House Price Index (HPI) indicates that home values rose by 2.2% year-on-year in April, up from 2.0% in March. This marks the fastest growth in nearly two years and reflects a modest improvement in demand.

Susan Kruger from Compliance Realtor explains how to know if you're working with someone who is properly qualified, compliant with regulations, and genuinely acting in your best interests.
