Real Estate News

The implications on the economic climate are few and of insignificant proportions, but the least that can be said is that they are far from negative. In all likelihood, Dubai will recover a lot more quickly from the recession than any other cosmopolitan city. Why? Quite simply, because Dubai has a smaller permanent population. Fewer people remain in Dubai when things go sour financially. Their residence in Dubai is very dependent on full-time employment. The high turnover means things can change very quickly. Dubai is still extremely investable. Market prices dropped to possibly the lowest it had ever been in August 2008 and now, a year and a half later, international investors are starting to return so as to profit from the rebound that is to be expected given the recent positive trends. This trend of investors will undoubtedly give the property market rebound, a much required shove in the right direction. Although at this point Abu Dhabi can offer more financial stability, Dubai still has more to offer expats and tourists.

The Burj Khalifa just adds another major attraction to a long list of incredible record breaking attractions. Just outside of the Burj Khalifa stands the world’s largest water fountain, costing Dhs800million to build and measuring 275m across. Another spectacular sight, seen for the first time on the 4th of January shooting water 150m up into the air, at the opening of the Burj. Also, by being extremely hospitable to its expats, Dubai promises to be a potential home. A place where one can earn their money and enjoy it. A city of luxury which makes a sedentary lifestyle the norm. Lets not bother with the change of name, enough has been said about it and there are fundamentally 2 conflicting arguments as to why it was changed which are ultimately unimportant to the market.

The one truism about it is that Abu Dhabi and Dubai, in times of hardship have strengthened their bonds and when support was needed, it was given. Politics aside, it’s still the Burj. It’s still the tallest building in the world and will be for a long time. That alone makes it a highly investable slice of property. The hope was that the grand opening would invite some positive press. Who would be surprised that in a time when most are suffering financially, this opening would be considered a show of arrogance? Arrogant or not, Dubai still has something great to boast about.

Today, it seems like everybody and their dog has a blog of some sort. So, you think, what can a real estate blog do for me and my business? The answer is: a lot, if you are willing to put in the time and effort to make it so.

A good blog is, as far as the search engines go, an ever-changing webpage that constantly offers content. This is a great place to be, from a search-engine-optimization (SEO) point of view. A website that is constantly offering new content is a good thing as far as Google is concerned. If you’re offering up-to-date, relevant info about your areas of operation, that’s gold as far as both Google and your readership are concerned. People are always looking for relevant information about their chosen home neighborhood and what’s happening.

A blog that is merely a series of home listings isn’t going to attract much attention. While you can certainly showcase homes you have to sell, try to make them interesting to more people than those who want a 4 bedroom rancher with 2 bathrooms and a charming expanse of front lawn. Perhaps you can talk about this listing’s neighborhood, the history of ranch homes or interesting things people do with bedrooms that are no longer required for guests and family members. Use your blog to capture the interest of people in general, rather than repeat something that is already amply represented elsewhere on your site.

Other topics you can focus on are local housing prices, the economy and how it is affecting home buying and selling in your area, events in your area, tax information/issues, tips for general home buying/selling… the list goes on and there’s plenty of ideas you can get off of the internet. Make it relevant to the times, make it apply to people interested in your area, make it apply to real estate and you will have a good base for a blog. Occasional forays into seasonal-appropriate topics or local news provides some interesting diversions.

This is a project for the real estate businessperson who likes to write or has someone who can write for them. It is not worth starting a blog if you’re just going to parrot someone else’s words, even if they lie in the public domain. It’s already been done before; enough that Google does not reward it with rankings. It also is boring for any human visitor who comes to your site looking for information your competitors haven’t already given them. If you’re just copy/pasting information they’ve seen before, you’re not likely to appear to advantage. Be original.

Spelling and grammar still say a lot about you. Use spell check and grammar checks. Read through your blog posts to ensure that they make sense to other people. Get someone to read them over for you if you lack the skills to do so yourself. The purpose of spelling and grammar is to clearly convey your thoughts on the subject at hand; it is the mark of a careful and conscientious person.

A blog can be a great way of getting yourself and your real estate business out into the local eye. If people are coming to see what you have to say from day to day, they may start viewing you less as just another Realtor and more as someone they can rely on for good information and advice in your area of expertise. That in itself may earn you clients; for the rest, it may open doors to potential clients that have hitherto been closed to you.

A unique “buy property -fix it -sell it” technique is in vogue since quite sometime that is now better known as flipping property in the real estate market. It is really a distinctive business tactic that appears fully legal and ethical! What one does in this trade is buy properties or book them and take control to fix up the domain and then sell it at a reasonable profit. All these sounds pretty simple but make no mistake, it is hard work! There are no two ways linked with this latest trend in marketing real estate and it suits the potential buyers who get a ready built and improved dwelling or office for their use.

Some real estate experts are now offering a modified route to this buy fix and sell formulae that could be the bread winning medium for many individuals who are interested in real estate dealings etc. The system generally works on the principle of gaining legal control of a saleable property though established means and then planning the improvements or repairs to make it instantly habitable through direct sale. It appears to be similar to the share market where one buys or commits to buy company shares, waits for the time when the value goes up, and then sells it at a profit. Could it be simpler than that? To be frank it is not so simple and the techniques or knowhow involved in flipping properties or houses requires much more acumen than visible to the naked eye!

Flipping real estate does have advantages associated with property deals and could yield a fair or even formidable return on investment. It includes a small risk factor but then what business does not involve risks? The easiest way to begin this trade is to first gain adequate knowledge and inside information on the flipping principle for real estates. The companies who specialize in initiating you for entering the flipping business also provide sufficient information in the form of e-books and useful guides so that you can buy them online and study the contents to become fully familiar with the process of flipping properties etc.

It’s best to seek professional services in finding the right property at the right location at the right price and the professionals, known as estate agents London, possess the vast knowledge of every corner of London with its importance.

The Estate agents London make use of their internet sites which allows its users – house owners and the people seeking a property to enter their requirements and their other details which gets saved in their database which is then used in listing all the properties available for rent.

A real estate short sale takes place when the sales price is less than the amount of all the liens against the property. It is not just the original lender who may be foreclosing. It would include anyone who has place a lien on the property such as a home equity loan or line of credit loan.

Here is one scenario. Let’s say Bob want to sell his house. He owes more than it is worth and he has lost his job and cannot afford to make the payments any longer. His realtor advises him he has 3 options. He can let the property go into foreclosure but this will stay on his credit record for a long time which is not a desired result. He can give his lender a deed in lieu of foreclosure but this too could negatively impact him. Finally he can try and sell his property “short”. In a short sale the Borrower/Seller receives no money.

Why would a lender sell short? Because it is costly to foreclose. In some cases it could be several thousands of dollars with attorney fees, court costs etc. Also the property still has to be sold. A short sale can be a win/win for everyone. The lender recoups more money than they would in foreclosure. The seller/borrower/owner can escape without a record of foreclosure on their credit report. The Buyer can acquire a property at a rock bottom price.

Here is a problem with short sales. They take time. If the Buyer is in a hurry & needs a property now, most likely a short sale will not meet their needs. As they say time takes time and in the case of short sales this is very true. I have a short sale transaction still trying to close after 10 months which is the extreme.

They take a long time because of the current economic climate. The lenders are swamped. What used to be done in 45 days can now take several months depending on the lender. Bank of America is the slowest. Most sales require 1 or 2 BPO’s (a Broker’s Price Opinion) and maybe an appraisal to confirm the current value of the property in today’s market. Then the investor…the institution who loaned the money in the first place needs to approve the sale as well. The investor can be a bank or a loan servicing company or any number of entities.

Patience as I stated will go a long way to keeping one’s sanity during a short sale.

Always consult an attorney with all legal concerns with this process.
