The Bloemfontein property market has also been negatively affected by the property downturn but less so when compared to some of the other big cities in South Africa. One of the reasons is the relatively low housing costs. Dan Pienaar is very popular with young first time property owners while an established suburb like Langenhovenpark still has a lot of appeal with would-be property buyers.
The demand is still for properties less than R1m with the high-end property market very quiet as investors are wary of spending money on expensive properties. The southern suburbs of Bloemfontein are attracting out-of-town buyers that cannot afford to buy in the more upmarket northern suburbs of Bloemfontein but also because of the excellent schools and low crime rate.
New property developments located in Woodlands, Noordstad, Pellissier and Pentagon Park are very popular. Retirement properties are also being built in most suburbs which make Bloemfontein a popular city to retire to.
