BULGARIAN PROPERTIES — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Global Housing Market Stagnates in 2011

Knight Frank — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

The Knight Frank Global House Price Index*, which tracks the performance of the world’s mainstream housing markets, showed zero growth in the three months to September. This was the index’s weakest performance since Q2 2009.The third quarter saw mounting pressures on the global economy with politicians seemingly helpless to get to grips with the Eurozone debt crisis. This has reawakened fears of a double dip recession, not just in Europe but around the world. Unsurprisingly, this economic uncertainty has been reflected in the performance of the world’s housing markets. The boom conditions experienced between 2004 and 2007 when global housing markets recorded double-digit annual price growth for 16 consecutive quarters are a distant memory. Average annual growth now stands at just 1.5%.Perhaps not surprisingly, Ireland experienced the largest annual fall in property prices with a

Overview of the Bulgarian real estate market in 2011 and forecast for 2012

Polina Stoykova, Chief Operations Manager of BULGARIAN PROPERTIES — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

The end of the third quarter of 2011 marked 3 years since the beginning of the global financial and economic crisis. Regretfully, 3 years after the beginning of the crisis there are still no convincing signals showing the recovery of the economy and real estate market not only in Bulgaria but in most countries around the world. After the optimism and the forecasted economic growth which marked the end of 2010 and the beginning of 2011, in the last few months the sovereign debt crisis in Europe and the lowered credit ratings of a number of countries and big European and global banks led to a slowdown in the pace of economic recovery. 2011 was loaded with great expectations for the property market’s coming out of the crisis, but unfortunately not all of them came true as this depends not only the pace of recovery of Bulgaria’s economy and the internal processes in the country but it is

BULGARIAN PROPERTIES’ Chief Operations Manager: Bulgaria must be promoted abroad well

Trud Daily, 06.01.12, p.12+13 — Mon, 09 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Polina Stoykova - the Chief Operations Manager of real estate agency BULGARIAN PROPERTIES, comments for Trud Daily the company’s forecast for 2012. 2012 will not be an easy year for the business in general and for the real estate sector in particular. But we have been working in such a regime in the last 3 years and we have managed more or less to adapt and to achieve some balance in our business activities. This year we will probably not be hiring new people, we will keep the existing staff and the salary levels and we will continue restructuring and optimizing our work.What is important specifically for the real estate sector for coming out of the crisis is the return of foreign interest in buying real estate in Bulgaria. This interest might return with Bulgaria’s more active promotion among potential property buyers abroad. The government could help by facilitating visa procedures

Investing in property in Bulgaria

BULGARIAN PROPERTIES — Fri, 06 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Q: Is it possible to obtain permanent residency by property investment? If so, how about the additional requirements?A: Permanent residency and long-term visas are options for property buyers. The regular scheme is to obtain visa D, which is a 3-month single entry visa for Bulgaria and when they arrive here, they apply for extention of this visa into a 1-year multiple entry visa. After that they continue to extend the visa. However, there are no guarantees that one will be granted a visa if they have a property in Bulgaria - it all depends on the particular person.Q: What is the procedure for real estate purchase by foreign investors?A: The procedure is as follows1. The chosen property needs to be reserved and taken off the market. After the unit is selected as a rule the buyer has to pay a deposit in the amount of 1,000-2,000 EUR.

Properties in Bulgaria remain in state of weightlessness

Trud Daily, 04.01.12, p.20+21, excerpt — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 00:00:00 GMT

Relatively few deals on the property market – similar to the previous year, possibly a slow but steady price drop and demand for cheaper homes. This is what real estate agents in Bulgaria forecast for 2012. Specific forecasts are difficult to make, says Polina Stoykova, Chief Operations Manager of BULGARIAN PROPERTIES. According to her this is due to the insecurity connected to the sovereign debt crisis and Europe’s future. It looks like 2012 will be a tough year and both the economies and the markets will face quite a few challenges. According to the company’s data in the last few months the property market has maintained a relatively stable volume of deals, similar to the same periods in 2010. The changes in property prices are minimal. This means the market has set at “crisis levels” which are stable for now.It is possible that in 2012 property prices will continue to be in

The most sought after homes in Sofia were for about 50,000 euro, the experts add.

EU steps in to prevent housing bubbles

europolitics.info, 15.12.2011 — Tue, 20 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

The European Commission is preparing to step up surveillance of housing markets in an attempt to prevent the kind of crash that sent the Irish government begging for aid from the EU and IMF to bail out banks heavily exposed to the property market. In the pipeline are a series of proposals on mortgage credit and capital requirements, but beginning on 13 December, the Commission will also begin monitoring house prices, part of an agreement to increase scrutiny on macroeconomic policies that could leak to other countries, causing strains across the EU.It will do this via an ‘imbalances scoreboard’, where levels of debt, investment, wages and house prices, amongst other things, will be reviewed over time. An alert will be flagged if prices rise more than 6% year on year, which could prompt an in-depth investigation by the Commission if other warning signs - such as high credit growth or

Moody's: Bulgaria’s credit perspective is positive

BULGARIAN PROPERTIES — Wed, 14 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Bulgaria’s credit perspective is positive, say Moody’s Investors Service. This is due to the resilient growth and further fiscal tightening. Moody’s credit outlook analysts Kristin Lindow and Renzo Merino point out that the tight fiscal policy stance of the Bulgarian government led to the country having the only sovereign rating upgrade in the European Union since the global crisis began in 2007.“Continued positive growth, as well as fiscal consolidation measures, will help Bulgaria remain one of the very few low debt countries in Europe,” the analysts said.In July Moody’s raised Bulgaria’s rating to Baa2, the second-lowest investment grade.Earlier Moody’s confirmed it will most probably review its assessments of the Eurozone and EU countries in the first quarter of 2012 due to the lack of undertaken measures for tackling the crisis. At the summit last week the member

Bulgaria Among the World’s 8 Most Distressed Property Markets

www.ipsbmv.com — Fri, 09 Dec 2011 00:00:00 GMT

What do the distressed markets mean for the property investor? In a nutshell it means low prices and banks turning their attention from the developers to those who can actually afford to buy property from them. This means some fantastic mortgage deals in excess of 100% LTV in some areas and unbelievably low prices on property offered by developers or in many cases the banks themselves. Of course all this distressed property piling (mostly in Europe) can be bad news for unwary property investors who might stray off the beaten track into areas that are unlikely to see growth for the next 20 years or so. These are the ghost towns where supply far outstrips demand, tourists are conspicuous by their absence and the buildings themselves are built on shaky foundations.So with this in mind it is now more important than ever to choose your market wisely, or better still choose an expert to guide

Rising private consumption to boost retail space demand

Europaproperty.com, Central & Eastern Europe Retail Guide — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 00:00:00 GMT

Bulgaria’s total retail sales will expand to $13 billion by 2015 from the forecast $10 billion this year, according to the latest BMI Bulgaria Retail report. Rising disposable income, Bulgarians seeking more choices and low prices offered by foreign and domestic chains will reportedly be the main drivers of growth. Coupled with renewed economic growth, retail sales will increase by an average of 5.5 percent between 2011 and 2015, said BMI. A growing urban population with higher disposable income and an interest in purchasing will also bolster retail sales and consequently retail investment in the medium term.Before 2005 there were no modern retail parks and malls in Bulgaria and there was a huge niche, according to Polina Stoykova, Chief Operations Manager at Bulgarian Properties.
