Why Investors Are Loving the Short-Term Rental Market

With Airbnb demand going up, property investors are cashing in. Here’s how Monarch Living potentially positions you for high returns in this thriving market.

ince 2014, Cape Town’s average property price has climbed over 36%, now exceeding R2.23 million. Property owners are shifting toward short-term rentals, limiting long-term housing supply and pushing up prices. With more than 23,500 Airbnb listings (even more than Barcelona) short-term rentals have become a powerful force.

For investors, this trend presents an opportunity: high rental yields, steady demand, and flexible pricing. But success in this space requires the right location, and that’s where Monarch Living comes in.

Why Monarch Living is Built for Short-Term Rental Success
Monarch Living, situated in Cape Town’s Northern Suburbs, offers investors a prime opportunity to tap into the city’s growing short-term rental market.

1. Strong Rental Demand from Business & Training Professionals
   Monarch Living sits near call centers, corporate offices, and training hubs, a prime territory for professionals who need short stays. Many companies prefer Airbnb-style rentals over hotels, meaning steady, reliable demand for investors.
   
   
   
   
2. Higher Rental Income Potential
   Short-term rentals typically generate higher returns than traditional long-term leases. Investors can adjust pricing for peak seasons, business events, and tourism demand, maximizing earnings throughout the year.
   
   
3. Property Value That Grows With You
   Homes with short-term rental potential sell for more and attract buyers looking for high-return, flexible investments. That means strong resale value when it’s time to cash in.
   
   
4. Risk Diversification & Flexibility
   Unlike traditional leases, short-term rentals let you switch gears when needed. If demand shifts, you can pivot between short- and long-term stays to keep cash flowing.
