At a Glance: Turkey

Property buyers prefer to eat Turkey in Mugla, according the latest At a Glance infographic from TheMoveChannel.com. The infographic, based upon activity on the overseas property portal from the last 12 months, shows that the region of the country awakens investors' appetite, attracting over one-third of enquiries since June 2011.

The second most popular province was Istanbul, which received 26.77 per cent of Turkish property enquiries, but while the area around the capital is popular with investors, the coastal areas in the South West are the most in-demand, with Antalya and Aydin attracting 18.55 per cent and 17.21 per cent respectively.

The same is true of buyer search activity on TheMoveChannel.com, with the cities of Mugla and Istanbul accounting for over 25 per cent of searches by location. The Mugla province continues to dominate here too, accounting for five out of the 10 most searched-for places thanks to resorts such as Fethiye and Hisaronu.

Indeed, tourism drives a lot of buyer behaviour, with airport hub Dalaman as popular with buyers as the vacation hotspots Altinkum, Antalya and Didim. Our records show an overwhelming preference for these areas, in the South West coast region and leaving most of Turkey completely untouched; an indication not just of buyer demand but the striking lack of sellers in the East of the country looking to sell property to overseas investors, particularly those from the UK.

As a result, the areas where demand exists clearly stand out on the infographic. Istanbul in the North looks especially bright, generating lots of interest due to high housing demand, prime office supply and an active student accommodation sector. Compared to the capital, the chart's other areas show the second main market for international investors: holiday homes.

The infographic also analyses search behaviour on Google over the last 12 months. While "property in Turkey" is consistently the most commonly-used phrase to find Turkish real estate online, it is interesting to note that - for the first time in TheMoveChannel.com's At a Glance series - "villas for sale" occur in more property searches than "houses for sale", marking out Turkey as a different market to many other destinations.

Editor Ivan Radford comments: "Turkey's infographic provides an extreme contrast to the other, more traditional, lifestyle destinations we have depicted so far: the overseas market is extraordinarily centred on a handful of key areas, almost entirely located in the one corner of the country.

"But while the gaping space may seem a damning portrait of the world's fastest-growing economy, the infographic perhaps reveals something else: a market ready for change. Turkey's updated investment regulations, announced last month, have opened up the country's real estate to a whole new audience of buyers in 89 countries across the Middle East and Asia. In a year's time, who knows how much more of the east will be attracting international Investment"

US pending home sales higher than last year

Pending sales of US homes were higher in April than last year, according to the National Association of Realtors.

Forward-looking figures from the NAR show that sales fell 5.5 per cent from March but remains 14.4 per cent about April 2011.

Lawrence Yun, NAR chief economist, remains optimistic about the market, insisting that a one-month setback in light of many months of gains does not change the fundamentally improving housing market conditions.  "Home contract activity has been above year-ago levels now for 12 consecutive months. The housing recovery momentum continues," he said.

Yun notes home sales are staying well above the levels seen from 2008 through 2011.  "Housing market activity has clearly broken out at notably higher levels and is on track to see the best performance since 2007," he said.  "All of the major housing market indicators are expected to trend gradually up, but a new federal budget must be passed before the end of the year for the economy to continue to move forward."

Coming to Cape Verde? Sal is a safe bet, says agent

Sal is a safe bet for investors, according to one agent.

Buyers looking for property in Cape Verde should head to island, with falling house prices introducing some "tremendous resale bargains" to the market, said Adrian Lillywhite, Managing Director of Cape Verde Property. This, combined with the improving infrastructure and developing tourist industry, makes now a "great time" to invest.

"Even though it is still in its infancy, Sal is developing nicely into a cosmopolitan little island with a variety of top quality developments," he added.

Canadians dominate US property investment

Overseas property sales are increasing in the US - and Canadians are leading the way, according to the National Assocation of Realtors.

The NAR's latest research reveals that Canadians buy more property than all other overseas buyers, including Chinese and Mexican investors. The survey found that out of the $82.5 billion word of houses sold in the year to March 2012, 24 per cent were bought by Canadians; the biggest role they have played in America's property market since 2007.

Chinese buyers accounted for 11 per cent of all international transactions, followed by investors from Mexico, who snapped up 8 per cent of property sales.

Foreign sales account for just 10 per cent of the country's total property market, but international demand is on the up; overseas transactions increased by 24 per cent last year.

"Today's advantageous market conditions have drawn more and more foreign buyers to the U.S. in recent years, signalling how desirable and profitable owning property in this country can be," said NAR president Moe Veissi.

Foreign investors tend to buy property using cash and pay for more expensive homes, the NAR found.

"The average price paid by an international buyer was $400,000 compared to the overall U.S. average of $212,000," read the survey. "The international client is typically wealthier than the domestic buyer and is looking for a property in a specialized niche, for example, a larger property suitable for multigenerational living, or a property that establishes the individual's presence and standing in the community."

Florida, of course, is the fastest growing destination for house hunters, accounting for 26 per cent of all foreign transactions.

French farmland becomes more attractive

French farmland is becoming more attractive, according to agents, as the weak euro and rising UK agricultural prices make it far more affordable for investors.

Trevor Leggett, Managing Director of Leggett Immobilier, comments: "2012 has seen the price of UK farmland rise yet again (0.4% in the first three months) and the research team at Knight Frank have just announced that they are expecting further rises throughout the year. This means that in one of the toughest economic times for centuries farmers are having to pay record amounts for the land they need.

"The average value of agricultural land in the UK is currently £6,073 an acre or £15,182.50 per hectare. At an exchange rate of 1.24 euros to the pound that equates to over €18,800 per hectare. 

"Compare this to agricultural land prices here in France. SAFER figures show that untenanted farmland cost an average of €5,430 per hectare last year - that's almost one third of the price! Leggett Immobilier are currently marketing over 100 working farms (of all types and with or without farmhouses) for sale across France and have seen a steady and growing increase in interest from across the channel."

Leggett adds: "I saw a farmer quoted recently as saying that farmland is a "safehaven" and that "the world's population is growing and that people will always need more food". Add in the fact that it is also tax efficient and undepinned by EU subsidies and it's no wonder that farmland is an attractive choice for investors - I simply believe that it's even more attractive in France. The price of English farmland has rocketed by more than 10,000% in the last 60 years and France certainly gives farmers a cheaper (and sunnier) option!"

Turkey prices and rents rise again

Prices and rents for Turkish property rose once again in April. The average value of residential real estate in Turkey climbed by 0.86 per cent compared to March, when prices also rose by 0.95 per cent. Rents, meanwhile, jumped up by 1.02 per cent.

Istanbul saw the biggest increase, with rental rates increasing by 1.18 per cent, while overall prices are now 11.93 per cent above April 2011.

The positive growth follows the introduction of a new law, which will open up the market even more to investors from the Middle East as well as increasing the amount of land foreign buyers are allowed to purchase.

Top of the Props: Buyers see bright side of Greek euro tragedy

Buyers are seeing the bright side of Greece's euro tragedy, according to TheMoveChannel.com's latest Top of the Props report. The eurozone crisis continues to spread waves of uncertainty across the continent, but Greece and Cyprus fought back against the tide in May as demand for each country's property increased, propelling them both into the overseas portal's top 10 destinations.

While banks discussed bailouts and austerity measures, buyers bucked the negative trend last month, driving Greece five places up TheMoveChannel.com's chart to number eight, with Cyprus just behind after climbing seven spots. This is the first time both countries have been in the Top of the Props Top 10 since November last year.

Together, the two destinations accounted for 4.09 per cent of the site's total enquiries in May, lower than sixth place Brazil (4.37 per cent) and far behind buyer favourite Spain, which commanded a 17.81 per cent share of attention, but still enough to rank above tenth place Germany (1.85 per cent). The increase in interest may be slim, but it reveals the ongoing appeal of two much-maligned property markets.

Indeed, Greece and Cyprus have never been far away from TheMoveChannel.com's Top 10. Greece appeared in eighth place in February 2012, while Cyprus rose as high as seventh in October 2011. But economic woes and negative media coverage have left both countries loitering inside the Top 15 for the last three months.

May's uptick in demand also shows the changing relationship between the two markets. Throughout last year, Cyprus remained the most popular of the pair, but since the start of 2012, Greece has consistently received more enquiries from buyers, despite the increasingly tumultuous economic climate.

Director Dan Johnson comments: "Greece continues to hog the headlines this year for all the wrong reasons, so it's a pleasant surprise to see two of Europe's traditional lifestyle destinations back in TheMoveChannel.com's Top 10. There's no getting round the fact that demand has decreased compared to last year - enquiries in October 2011 were higher for each country, even though Greece ranked three places lower - but as debates continue to surround the future of the euro, the increasing popularity of Greek and Cypriot real estate could be a sign that investors are not yet planning an exit of their own."

Ross Michaelides of Buy and Sell Estate Agency in Crete comments on Greece's enduring appeal for overseas investors: "Buying property does have a lot to do with economics, but buying a home abroad should never be determined by money figures alone. The low crime rate, the natural beauty of the area, the weather and climate, the professional services and the hospitality of the people weigh the same (if not more) in the decision to buy a house abroad."

Retirees choose property over pensions

Almost two-thirds of people would consider using property to fund their retirement, according to The Equity Release Council.

73 per cent of people would consider using housing equity as part of their later life finances, finds the Council's report, with more than a quarter of a million (257,168) retirees expected to consider downsizing by 2017, while 59,347 will look into equity release.  

Research undertaken among almost 2,000 UK consumers of all age groups highlights the fact that while some of today's pensioners might be able to rely on income from pensions, investments and benefits, going forward more and more retirees realise the critical role their property will play in retirement.

The research - undertaken to coincide with the launch of The Council (formerly SHIP) - reveals that while expected reliance on property decreases with age as people build up other assets, over half (55%) of today's 55-64s still believe it will play some part in their retirement finances.

The most common way that people would consider accessing the value in their homes would be via downsizing (45%) followed by renting out a room (10%) and then equity release (7%).    In practical terms, this means that in 2017 over 59,000 retirees will be looking at what role equity release can plan in their retirement financing.

Those who have a second property such as a buy-to-let investment or holiday home might consider renting out the property for income (17%) or selling the property (7%) if they needed to improve their retirement finances. 

When asked to list what they thought would be the top sources of income in retirement, an employer pension (44%), private pension (39%) and savings/investments (36%) came out on top.  However - overall - 61% said property would be one of the top sources of finance in retirement.

Nigel Waterson, Chairman of The Equity Release Council, said: "This research clearly shows that more and more people are considering using their property as part of their retirement finances.  This might mean choosing to downsize, rent a room out or use equity release - or any combination of the above.

"With such a heavy potential reliance on the equity tied up in UK residential property, it is vital that consumers receive accurate information and access to specialist advice and products which have excellent safeguards.   Therefore we are delighted to launch The Equity Release Council which for the first time will look to bring together all aspects of this industry to promote the highest standards of consumer protection and education."

Student housing demand soars around the world

Demand for student property is soaring around the world - and not just from students. As the euro debt crisis continues, student accommodation is proving a popular choice for investors as the number of university applicants continues to climb.

In the UK, universities worried that rising tuition fees would deter youngsters from applying to study this year. Their fears seemed justified this month, as Ireland reported a rise in the number of university applicants from the UK.

Applications rose by 28 per cent compared to 2011, the Republic of Ireland's Central Applications Office confirmed, with the Republic's fees of £1,810 per year more affordable for Brits than the potential £9,000 they face at home.

Scandinavian universities have also seen a spike in UK interest, with students attracted by the total cost of tuition fees: zero.

"Fees for European universities make them a really competitive option, even with added costs of travel," Di Henderson, Head of Sixth Form at Marine Academy Plymouth told The Independent.

But student numbers are on the up outside of Europe too. In Malaysia, figures have surged to over 90,000 (2 per cent of the total international student population), ranking the country's student body as the 11^th biggest in the world.

This increasing demand has seen housing reach critical levels of supply, prompting a wave of new developments and eager investors, who see student housing as more reliable than many other sectors of real estate.

Investment company Qudoss told the New Straits Times: "During recession, people take student grants to get back to school. Usually, rental is paid six months in advance so the rental is guaranteed."

While Malaysia's property fills up with students, the UK's housing market is seeing a similar surge, with UCAS reporting a 13.7 per cent rise in overseas students applying to study in Britain.

Investors are doing much the same, coming from home and abroad to capitalise on the property investment that never seems to run out of tenants, no matter what the country.

Ray Withers, CEO of student property investment experts Property Frontiers, spoke to TheMoveChannel.com about the continuing strength of the sector:

“Purpose built student property has outperformed every other commercial property class according to Knight Frank in their Student Property Report 2012 and has consistently thrived on the fundamental imbalance of supply and demand. This is because constantly high student populations in major university towns coupled with increasing demand for limited modern quality student accommodation (opposed to most Universities’ ageing campus stock) ensures these properties are near 100% occupied and at the best rates.

"Furthermore, with massive increases in overseas student numbers the purpose built student accommodation market continues to perform during continuing external pressures in the wider economy.

"With en-suite student rooms and studios now available to individual investors with low cash investment levels, high returns and in many cases proven income streams, this asset class continues to be a very reliable and popular choice.”

US property prices up – and predicted to keep on rising

US property prices are up across the country and expected to keep rising, according to Clear Capital.

The average house price grew both on a quarterly (0.4 per cent) and year-on-year (0.1 per cent) basis in May, the asset valuation firm reports, the first time this has happened since August 2010. This was true of all regions across America, apart from the Midwest, where values declined at a slower rate compared to the company's previous report.

The price gains seen at the national, regional and metro levels are being driven in part by the significant increases in REO-only prices. In fact, national REO-only gains of 8.1% over the last year on a median price-per-square-foot basis have outpaced non-REO price declines of -0.7% by 8.8 percentage points. Looking at REO-only prices on a year-over-year basis helps highlight why the Midwest lags the other regions in overall growth.

"National real estate prices in May have finally moved past the continued losses of the last few years. The subsequent stabilization pattern seen in recent months has progressed into the start of moderate growth," comments Dr. Alex Villacorta, Director of Research and Analytics at Clear Capital.

"While gains in national home prices over the quarter and year were minimal in May, there are encouraging trends continuing to play out and gaining momentum beneath the surface," Villacorta added. "Strength in REO-only price trends as well as some early indications of price gains spreading from low tier sectors to the mid, and higher-priced homes is helping confirm that the country continues to make progress on its recovery, and we are expecting to see improvements extend over the next several months."

"Markets have continued to show signs of bottoming out. The projections we made at the beginning of the year are playing out and we expect to see the nation gain just over 1% through the year's end,' said Alex Villacorta, director of research and analytics at Clear Capital.

Turkey tourism booms as Arabs are attracted by new law

Turkey's tourist industry is booming as Arabs are attracted by the country's recently approved investment law.

The bill, which allows visitors from the Middle East to buy Turkish property for the first time, was announced last month. The news came just as visitors from Qatar doubled in the first four months of 2012, according to official government figures. Visitors from the UAE also surged by 86 per cent compared to 2011.

The Turkish Tourism and Culture office's attaché commented: "We have good relationships with those countries," he said. "The shopping is popular and there's been a response to the Arab Spring. Lots of people who would have gone to Egypt, Syria and Libya have gone somewhere else."

"We have the same culture and religion, so they do not feel like strangers in Turkey. Nobody has a prejudice about them. We see the Arabs as friends."

The recently approved investment law has also seen a Huge increase from other European countries, whilst Investment in Turkey has been been very popular already, this change in law, has increased purchases and this will in itself make the investment potential even more exciting.

New French development sells out

A new French property development sold out, surpassing expectations, according to A Place in the Sun.

The 90-hectare-spanning Chateau de la Cazine, located in France's Limousin region, entered stage two of its development last week, with fractional and whole ownership options for hotel suites available to investors.

The high level of interest in the project has been hailed as a strong indicator of "continued appetite for French investment", the property site added.

Managing Director of Barrasford and Bird Worldwide, Robin Barrasford told them: ‘We are exceptionally proud to have been able to deliver to our existing customers at the Château. The hotel suites being sold both fractionally and fully have been bought keenly by those wanting to invest and we expect our next phase to prove just as popular.  Our commitment to our customers has pushed us to succeed in a particularly troubled economic climate and we believe Château de la Cazine will surpass expectations."

Four Countries To Buy Property In

With the global economy still in a state of recovery, many investors are looking to buying second properties that could become lucrative long-term investments. There are a multitude of factors involved in this-affording long distance movers, making sure you can still finance your first home, etc.

The most important thing is being sure that the investment you're making won't be in a popping bubble. Many of us have learned that lesson the hard way. For that reason it's important to do your research when searching for an overseas property. Here are four countries that could be good starting points for an overseas property investor:

Northern Cyprus

Decades of political unrest have kept this island in a depression as both the Greek Cypriots and Turkish Cypriots wrestled for control. But beginning in 2003 the nation has seen meteoric financial growth and Northern Cyprus's property values have risen. This is the result of a myriad of factors: an impressively diverse and textured culture and landscape that sees the intersection of three continents-Europe, Africa, and Asia. Additionally, there is very little crime in the country.

Currently many apartments can be had for $80,000, while houses and villas go for about $200k to $350k.

Dubai

This extremely verdant nation in the United Arab Emirates is becoming a rising star on the

world scene, replete with booming luxury and tourist industries, a rich cosmopolitan culture and a very active business scene. Add to this low crime, a high standard of living, its tax haven status, and its 6.7% GDP growth rate and you can understand why people are scrambling to swoop up Dubai's half million dollar homes.

Shanghai, China

Joining the rest of the Chinese economy, Shanghai is a growing cosmopolitan hub that should continue to grow in the coming years, meaning that property values will likely continue to rise.Some analysts consider Shanghai to be a bubble, but they said the same thing about Dubai and both cities have continued to increase in value.

Shanghai has a 9.3% GDP growth rate and cheaper real estate than Hong Kong.

Dominican Republic

The Dominican Republic benefits from a triple whammy of fortuitous factors: a stable democracy, a good economy, a beautiful location, and extremely affordable homes. There are few places in the world where you can find oceanfront home for a quarter of a million dollars. This is one of them.

These four countries are growing rapidly and it is quite possible that their real estate markets will inflate. Of course, that's a risk inherent in any speculative real estate play. However, if one judges promise based upon the strength of the national economy and cultural diversity, these countries rank highly for investors.

American land shortage provides "once in a century" opportunity

Australia's housing industry may be facing a recession, but the shortage of land in America provides a "once in a century opportunity", according to one Oz developer.

The investment firm Drapac Group stated this week that the US prices have "never been lower", suggesting that American real estate had reached the point Australia was at in 1992.

''The US will have its biggest land shortage in history. The property market must come back at new house level - Americans will always want a new house,'' Managing Director Michael Drapac told OPP.

Drapac is currently planning to expand his company in the US and spend half of 2012 in the country, purchasing in cities such as Detroit, where opportunities hold more potential than Melbourne, bolstered by the height of the Australian dollar.

 "An abundance of data indicates that Detroit is coming back powerfully," he added. "Confidence drives markets. A perception and belief that Detroit is coming back hard, is becoming prevalent."

 "''There is the allure of a one in 100 years event in the US. The Australian dollar is high, and opportunities in Melbourne are relatively limited. They would like to capitalise on that."

Students expect WiFi and ensuites from university homes

Wi-fi, en-suite facilities and communal areas are the most important features for higher education students when choosing accommodation according to a recent survey by Unite, developers and managers of purpose-built student accommodation in the UK.

As well as these demands, Unite also discovered that location, security, price and cleanliness are important factors for a happy student life and as a result, universities across the UK are pushing hard to ensure that they can accommodate today's student requirements.

While UK universities are working to provide new-build and refurbished student accommodation there is a continuing need for more to be built in order to cope with surging demand. The current shortfall in specific higher education accommodation is reinforced by the Unite survey which discovered that 17% of students currently live at home, while another survey of school-leavers carried out at the end of 2011 found that 16% were planning to live at home in 2012-13.

Ray Withers, CEO of student property investment specialists, Property Frontiers, comments,

"Although there has been a very small reduction in student applications this year, most likely caused by the introduction of increased tuition fees, the UK has some of the world's best educational institutions and we will no doubt see a growth in student applications next year once the dust settles.

"Indeed, it is of the upmost importance that we continue to build high quality student accommodation to meet demand and student's expectations. Universities alone cannot be responsible and this is why we are now in our 9^th purpose built student accommodation project in one the UK's biggest university cities, Liverpool. These investments allow us to meet the student demand for housing whilst providing our investors with the opportunity to own one of the best asset classes around. All our completed student projects have achieved 100% occupancy so the results speak for themselves!"

"But it's not just investors that are a concern to us. We at Dealsearcher are meeting the demands of students with all our student accommodation developments with Wi-fi, en-suite bathrooms and shared common rooms as standard, all situated in the thriving city of Liverpool."

Dordogne dominates British buyers' wish lists

The Dordogne dominates British buyers' wish lists, according to a new study.

The area has always been popular with international buyers, reports the French notaires, with over 15 per cent of property sales in both the Dordogne and the Alpes-Maritimes going to overseas investors in both 2011 and 2010.

But British demand for Dordogne property is staying strong, according to the notaire's latest annual review, while interest in Cotes d'Azur has dropped off. Other nationalities are now taking the Brits' place, piling into the South France's popular tourist region.

Other regions that were also popular with international buyers last year include Lot (13 per cent), Creuse (11 per cent), Charente (11 per cent), Aude (10 per cent) and Ain (10 per cent).

5.3 per cent of all property transactions in 2011 went to overseas buyers, consistent with the last three years but down from 2004's high of 6.3 per cent.

The report excludes purchases of property in Paris, adds French Property.

Are you frozen out of Retirement Wealth

If you have a frozen pension it is time to look at your options and make that money work towards building a better future retirement.

When we think about the amount of money sitting in pensions and failing to realise its potential, it upsets us to think that this money could be put to much better use elsewhere. This is why we are willing to share our little known secret to retirement wealth creation, Caribbean boutique property.
The merits of property investment as opposed to other mainstream options is of course well documented, but if you are looking for a whole new level of retirement wealth creation, then Caribbean property offers one of the best alternatives out there at the moment.

E.g. If you have £50,000 to invest and you are looking to retire in five year’s time (2017) then take a look at the chart above to see how an investment in Caribbean boutique property compares to the same amount invested in a pension fund over the same five-year period:

Now if we told you that this chart is based on rental income alone from our Caribbean investment opportunity, then the potential for growth on your initial investment is even higher when you consider the following:

·  Property is currently available at 50% below market comparables
·  100% finance is available 
·  £1,000 reservation fee and nothing else to pay developer until completion
·  Developer loans are available for self cert/self-employed

If this sounds too good to be true, then you probably won’t believe the following either:
·  The chart above is based on 65% occupancy (the average in this location is 85%)
·  Up to 10 year guaranteed rental 
·  Up to 30 days free use per year

The properties we have selected for you will provide an outstanding investment opportunity with locked-in equity and best of all, they can be bought through a SIPP. The exclusive luxury 5-star investment properties are located in only the best locations throughout Caribbean.

Investors have the opportunity to buy a range of property from studio apartments to 6 bedroom luxury villas.  All of the properties are freehold and offer excellent potential for high capital appreciation and an annual rental income of circa £30,000.

US homebuilder confidence back at 2007 levels

The confidence of US homebuilders in the market has climbed back to 2007 levels, according to the National Association of Home Builders.

The association's latest index, released this week, shows that confidence for new build single-family homes gained five points in May following a dip in April, reaching a level of 29 - the index's strongest reading since May 2007.

"Builders in many markets are reporting that buyer traffic and sales have picked back up after a pause this April," commented Barry Rutenberg, chairman of the NAHB and a home builder from Gainesville. "It seems we have resumed the gradual upward trend in confidence that started at the beginning of this year, as stabilizing prices and excellent affordability encourage more people to pursue a new-home purchase."

"While home building still has quite a way to go toward a fully healthy market, the fact that the HMI has returned to trend is an excellent sign that firming home values, improving employment and low mortgage rates are drawing consumers back," said NAHB Chief Economist David Crowe. "The pace of this emerging recovery could be stronger were it not for the significant impediments that the market continues to face with regard to builder and consumer access to credit, inaccurate appraisals, and more recently, rising materials prices."
