On this weekly Moneyweb show, we gain insider insights from leading executives, analysts, developers and entrepreneurs in the country’s expansive property industry.
On the podcast this week is a familiar voice on our Market Watcher segment on SAfm Market Update with Moneyweb, who also sometimes features on Simon Brown’s MoneywebNOW podcast.
She mainly shares insights about the markets, but we have her on this podcast to talk about some good news. We need a little bit of that, considering what’s happening in the world and the markets at the moment, and that good news was buried in the budget, believe it or not – that’s SA’s budget, the version 2.0 that was delivered last month by Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana.

The good news on the residential property front is the increase in the transfer duty threshold, which means home buyers pay less transfer duties as of 1 April this year.
Chantal Marx from FNB Wealth and Investments joins us on the podcast to share insights on what the move means for the property market, especially for first-time home buyers.
