Rental escalations and property market dynamics
A persistent shortage of residential rental stock is the primary driver of predicted rental price growth, while commercial property, particularly office space, continues to face headwinds, but has seen vacancy improvements due to limited new supply coming online.
TPN predicts residential rental escalations will hover between 4,5% and 5,5% for 2026. This upward trend is supported by provinces like Gauteng, which is expected to see continued positive growth in key residential nodes.
The commercial sector, particularly office space, will continue to face downward rental growth, with escalations expected to drop to approximately 3.0%. However, specific asset types, particularly in storage, industrial hubs and convenience retail, are showing optimism.
Congrats to our team members on their google reviews!
