Cape Town's property market is booming, but there's a catch: the middle class is being pushed further and further out.In this episode, we unpack why buyers are being priced out of the CBD, how pressure is building across the suburbs, and why demand is spilling into areas like Stellenbosch, Paarl, and Wellington. From semigration and supply shortages to investor demand and Airbnb, we explore the forces reshaping Cape Town's property market.If you've been wondering why homes are selling so quickly, why affordability feels increasingly out of reach, or where the next opportunities in Cape Town's property market may lie, this episode is for you.In this episode:00:00 The Middle-Class Property Squeeze in Cape Town01:16 The 3 Forces Driving Property Prices Higher02:53 Cape Town's Booming Property Markets04:51 The Middle-Class Affordability Crisis06:34 What This Means for Future Property Owners07:49 Key Message for Buyers#CapeTownProperty #PropertyTrends #PropertyInvestment #SouthAfricanProperty #MiddleClassSqueezeSubscribe to us on your favourite podcast platform : Youtube: http://youtube.com/@propertycornerzaSpotify: https://shorturl.at/horJTApple Podcasts: https://shorturl.at/alFG7
