A new era of migration beckons for Blouberg

A silver lining has emerged from the dark clouds of the pandemic. Having to work remotely, owing to health and safety reasons, has quickly become a winning alternative for many companies and their employees at large. The 'new normal' allows many people to choose how and where they live and work simultaneously, which often involves relocating to areas that offer improved living conditions.

The Western Cape is the primary destination for a large number of people who either want to move to an outdoor second home or who have had to make choices when faced with job loss or the need to find alternate employment. It has also emerged as a trend for more and more companies that export their services, thus contributing to the rate of semi-migration in the country within the last 10 months. In addition, this has the knock-on effect of creating more agile online solutions, which allows homeowners to work from the comfort and security of their domiciles.
