Welkom has truly become, as its name suggests, a welcoming haven for South Africans seeking a balanced lifestyle in a beautiful and tranquil setting.
With its unique history rooted in the gold rush, Welkom has evolved into a modern and efficiently designed city, known worldwide for its traffic system that minimizes the need for traffic lights. As South Africa’s youngest city and the second-largest in the Free State, Welkom also boasts attractions like the Phakisa Raceway and a rich collection of monuments. Today, Welkom is attracting a new wave of residents seeking a restful yet vibrant community.
“Welkom is seeing a notable increase in rental property investments as people seek the blend of urban conveniences and rural calm,” says Zack Rossouw from Jawitz Properties Goldfields in the Free State. “More people are upgrading their homes or moving to secure, well-designed estates that promise both luxury and peace of mind.”
Key Trends in Welkom’s Property Market
The real estate market in Welkom is being defined by several key trends:
- Relocations and Upgrades: Many are relocating from larger cities or upgrading to more secure and upscale properties within Welkom’s established estates.
- Focus on Security: Buyers are increasingly prioritizing security, with many choosing Welkom for its safe and community-oriented neighborhoods.
- Boom in Rental Demand: With the demand for rentals growing, property purchase-to-rent has become an attractive investment strategy for those looking to build a steady income stream.
“Interest in rental investments is growing,” Rossouw continues. “Affordable property prices, along with favorable interest rates, inflation, and a rising demand, are encouraging people to see property in Welkom as a solid financial asset.”
Agents in the region note that well-priced properties that balance security with aesthetic appeal are drawing buyers. While property purchases are on the rise, the rental market is also flourishing, providing flexibility for those looking to rent amid economic uncertainties.
“There’s an ideal mix of those looking to invest in rental properties and those seeking a secure rental option,” Rossouw adds. “It’s an exciting time for Jawitz agents to meet the needs of individuals and families looking for a different quality of life here in Welkom.”

In the 1930s, Public Relations was more popular than marketing. In fact, a magazine called “Public Relations” featured an organizational chart in which the PR team reported directly to the CEO and Chairman while the marketing department was all the way down at the bottom. PR was simply a bigger industry during that time. Remember: That was the same decade as The Great Depression. Companies were more interested in ensuring they built trust in communities than trying to market and sell a product to them.
