As such, I dont foresee the cost of land appreciating at the same rate it used to appreciate before as the middle class avoid buying land and pursue apartments with that money. Developers will continue making a kill in the next few years as land brokers see a decline in the number of land transactions. Any young couple nowadays (most) would opt for an apartment than the bare land in the middle of nowhere. Simply put, it is a bad point in time to speculate on bare land and times have changed.
Any scholarly report being quoted here?
Apartments only attract those who have to be near town and who are being financed by employers who insist on built houses rather than property development eg banks. Otherwise Id rather rent an apartment I cant afford to buy outright and buy 20acres in olepolos
