Wakefields Durban North Newsletter
Jan 2026
From my desk to yours...
Hi Subscriber,

As we step into 2026, there’s a lot to be optimistic about. In this edition, I share my outlook on the property market for the year ahead and why steady fundamentals continue to support smart buying and selling decisions. We also welcome our new Umhlanga Branch Manager as she takes the reins from me. I have no doubt the team is in excellent hands and wish her every success in this next chapter.

With interest rates holding steady, now remains a solid time to buy, especially for those planning with the long term in mind. We’ve also included practical advice on getting short-term debt under control, so you can free up cash flow and focus on paying off your home loan faster. As always, we’re here to help you make confident, informed property decisions.
