Affordable housing market shortage or gap market   Affordable Housing  STANDARD Bank’s home loan book for the affordable housing market grew by 30% to R14bn last year, driven by strong demand as first-time buyers entered the market. There is an estimated shortage of about 600,000 houses in the affordable market, although Standard Bank affordable housing head Nicholas Nkosi said on Tuesday that the bank was "very encouraged" by initiatives to ramp up supply. The affordable segment, which Mr Nkosi said was the most active part of the housing market, refers to houses between R300,000 and R550,000, with the average bond worth about R350,000. Concern about low-income earners’ access to the affordable market has prompted the government to put various initiatives in place to unlock the "gap market" — people who do not qualify either for loans or free government houses. Measures include the finance-linked individual subsidy programme, which aims to reduc...
