Interest Rate Announcement | 23 September 2026

The South African Reserve Bank (SARB) has increased the repo rate by 25 basis points to 7.25%, bringing the prime lending rate to 10.75%.

While a rate increase may place additional pressure on household budgets, it’s important to remember that property decisions are long-term decisions, while interest rate cycles change over time. 🏡

For homeowners and prospective buyers, careful affordability planning and the right home loan structure are more important than ever.

At MortgageMax Sonet Calitz, we’re here to help you navigate changing market conditions and find a financing strategy that suits your circumstances.

Let’s talk about your home loan options!

Our heritage lives in the languages we speak, the food we share, the traditions we carry forward, and the stories, music and memories that connect one generation to the next. And so often, home is at the heart of it all. 🏡

This Heritage Day, we celebrate the many cultures, traditions and stories that make South Africa the beautiful and diverse home we are proud to share.

At MortgageMax Sonet Calitz, we feel privileged to play a small part in helping families and individuals find a place they can truly call home — a space where memories are made, traditions are celebrated and new chapters begin.

Because a home is about so much more than bricks and mortar. It is where our stories live, our traditions grow and our heritage is passed on.

From our team to you and your family, we wish you a very Happy Heritage Day!

A little bit of colour. A little bit of fun. And a whole lot of heart🧦🌈❤️

Today, we’re rocking our funky socks to support a wonderful cause. It might seem like a small contribution, but we believe that every little bit counts.
When small acts are done with a good heart, they can add up to something much bigger.

And because there’s always a reason to celebrate, today was extra special as we also celebrated Marisan and Anri’s birthdays! 🎂🎈
A little birthday cheer, lots of laughter, funky socks and wonderful people — the perfect way to end the week.

Here’s to celebrating each other, giving with heart, and finding joy in the little things.

We hope you join in on the fun! Happy Friday!
