Real Estate Investment in Canada

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

Canadian real estate market is not an emerging market. In fact, it is a well established traditional sector. From the perspective of a property investor, the total property sector in Canada is fully dependent on the development or population growth in a particular area. It also depends on the strength of the investment. Another major factor that attracted the foreign investors is its hassle free legal system.

With the reinforcement of the Canadian economy, more and more people are migrating to the country. This is leading to a growth in the demand for properties. The real estate experts believe that this growing demand in the Canadian property market will also radically boost the property values in years to come.

The following are some of the factors that you need to understand before investing in the Canadian real estate markets:

The rising of average incomes:
This is one of the factors that you need to take into account while searching for strong real estate markets. It is a good idea to opt for places where the average gross income is increasing faster. This means that the property prices will also follow the same pattern.

You can invest in a real estate market even if the average income of that place is lower than the provincial average, provided the rate of the average income is increasing faster than the provincial average.

The flow of booming markets:
You can conveniently invest in a property market, if its neighborhoods had recently experienced a strong growth in their property values.
Though at a slower rate, these surrounding areas will also heat up eventually. This is a phenomenon that has been noticed repeatedly in surrounding areas of a booming market as well as in the neighborhoods of redeveloping and improving communities. If you follow the pattern minutely you can easily identify such real estate markets, which are about to experience such booms.

Also reading local newspapers and visiting the particular town’s or provincial website can also help you to get a clear idea about its real estate market.

Bulgaria Property Market

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

While buying property for sale in Bulgaria, and especially when it comes to brand new developments, often marketed off-plan, most British investors are “seduced” by the rent out options of 8-10% annually. The truth, however, is yet to be discovered as few Bulgaria property developments can actually boast realistically such percentages, the majority still being quite doubtfull in their proof of viablity.

The nature of the Bulgaria property market is very dynamic as the market itself is quite young and as the sellers still dictate its bias. Looking from the stand point of the developers and their agents, or simply from the stand point of the home owners, the recent leap of the prices is the major driving force when it comes to whether to sell, build or both. Combining the popular in Britain menatality of investing for renting out with the local desire for quick profits, many sellers and developpers are tempted to promise unrealistic figures. Aside from few regions along the Black Sea coast and in the mountain resorts, the rest of the country cannot offer even fraction of the easily promissed bombastic returns on investment. Looking deeper into the Bulgaria property market, even the Black sea coast developments are dubious and contingent on too many unknowns.

According to International Herald Tribune 18% of all Bulgaria Property sales had been made by Foreign Customers in 2004. Again another 23% of the total sales on the Bulgarian Property Market have been made by foreigners in the year of 2005. Baring in mind those growing figures it is no suprise investors are offered temptation after temptation playing around the probability game for not merely capital gains but in the short run – income from letting.

In a bestseller called “Hardball: How the politics is played told by one who knows the game” a famous phrase comes to mind when we talk business in general. “All politics is local” – so is the business, whether you like it or not. So is the property market in Bulgaria- it is driven primarily by local demand and supply and not by investments from overseas. According to RICS the drastic increase of the value of the Bulgaria Property market could not only be attributed to Foreign Investors. The reason is also the increased demand from Bulgaria property owners to replace their old Bulgarian property. However, in the mentality of the Bulgarians buy-to-let is a concept unknown, and what’s more, relatively unacceptable.
