Stellenbosch University, recognised locally and internationally as a leading tertiary institution with a 30 000-strong student population, is massively oversubscribed. Its Campus, comprised of 31 university residences and other university accommodation options, only supplies some 6 500 student beds.

Strong capital growth potential in Stellenbosch

The goal with any investment property should ultimately be capital growth. Nothing ensures this better than a prime location geared for continual development and expansion. 

The Stellenbosch market brings considerable capital growth appeal with ongoing student population cycles spurring growth and development, adding a recession-proof safeguard for this prime location through rental yield.  

With a conservative average estimated 6% capital appreciation, buy-to-let investments are considered low-risk investments. However, south African Property industry data shows that sectional title sale price averages in Stellenbosch have seen a 20% increase in 2021.  

A marked recovery on the -4% in the pandemic hit 2020 and even more so on the -10% in the pre-pandemic year of 2019. With a guaranteed rental offering, The One is more than a smart investment opportunity.
