Property Market in Thailand Weathering Financial Storm

Property Market in Thailand Weathering Financial Storm

Thailand’s markets have experienced a slowdown in recent months … however, the result is not as negative as it might seem. Many Asian economies have seen enormous growth and are expected to see a matching fall in their economies, with property developers being hard hit. However the slower growth in the Thailand property sector makes it seem that the market can weather the current financial storm, and makes condos in Thailand actually stable longer term investments.


Obviously, one of the biggest factors in the outlook for Asian markets is the current credit crunch in the US. This is one of the biggest factors globally. Economies have been changed worldwide, and ultimately property values have been damaged. Some regions have obviously done worse than others, or experienced the net effect sooner. Asian property seemed to be relatively unaffected last year, with rental and capital growth exceeding expectations in many cities. The amount of investment increased, and some markets are expected to continue strong throughout this year as well as last. However, some of these economies that bucked the global trend of slowdowns in last year are now expected to see a bubble bursting. Thailand is different.


Bangkok’s 2007 performance went contrary to Asian markets in neighboring countries – growth was quite subdued, and demand grew only slightly. This is widely recognized to be due to political instability, and the cost of living rising in the area due to the price of oil and the weakened US economy. However, these factors are not as negative as they seem! If we look to the current volatility in the Chinese market, we will see why Thailand’s lack of breakneck growth compared to other Asian countries actually makes a condo in Thailand one of the better investment choices in Asia today. Rapid growth has forced the Chinese government to introduce drastic measures to slow down the economy – and these are having a huge effect on property prices and prospects for the country. The market is see-sawing crazily, and in the short term is quite unpredictable. By contrast, the property sector in Thailand has seen slower growth and seems to be in a better position to weather the current storm.


This year should see rents in Thailand rise, especially in the residential and retail sectors. Expansion in the retail sector is not expected to slow down, despite the prospect of higher overheads, though. Property revenues are expected to be slightly down, from around Bt1.59 billion in 2007 to Bt1.5 billion in 2008. The financial industry in the region will be impacted by the US crisis, but opportunities will not disappear entirely. Property law and tax reform changes mean that foreign investors now have an easier time if they are looking for property investment in Thailand. Basically, Thailand has become a more stable and secure prospect, albeit one with lower initial returns, than many other Asian markets.


Both internal and external reports confirm that condos in Thailand are still a good investment. The Bangkok Post says that high end condominiums and properties are holding their own in the market, despite political turmoil. This is linked to tourism performance in Thailand, as the country remains one of the most sought after destinations world wide. Singapore and Hong Kong, where much of Asian money is concentrated, favor Thailand as a holiday destination, and this is translating into some stability for the property market in Thailand at the moment.


Don’t shun the Thai market because of slower growth – it is the choice for stable, long-term investors at the moment.

How Do I Break Into the Property Market?

Posted on July 26, 2010 by admin

How Do I Break Into the Property Market?

Worldwide, consumers are feeling the tightening strangle hold of increased commodity prices, petrol price hikes and the damning effects of the worst global melt down in eighty years, but not all is gloom and doom for the South African economy.

Fortunately we have been relatively unscathed by the collapse of the banking and investment sectors in both the USA and EU, which to a great extent was fuelled by the inordinate greed of a few decision-makers.

<strong>Interest rate cuts on the cards for next year</strong>

The recent announcement by the monetary policy committee of the South African Reserve Bank to leave interest rates unchanged for the second consecutive time in the past four months will, without a doubt, help restore confidence in the flagging property sector and make this the time to invest in property.

That there is a real possibility of an interest rate cut early next year and with recent news via some of the top real estate agents in South Africa that the property market is showing early signs of buoyancy are both very good pieces of news for property owners and prospective buyers.

Although many South Africans may still feel that investing in property is out of their grasp, this is largely not true as there are always ways and means of getting into a sector, and it seems that long-term is expected to rebound to its heady heights of the boom.

<strong>Partnerships back affordable housing</strong>

There have been innovative partnerships between South African banks and local and international finance houses that have added clout and financial backing to affordable housing. In 2007, for example, one local bank forged an alliance with the French Development Agency to borrow €40 million to help prospective buyers with a joint monthly income of R7500 or less to purchase their own homes.

<strong>Lower your sights and buy smart</strong>

Instead of waiting for the opportunity to buy that dream home, lower your sights and aspirations. One sure fire way of breaking the property logjam is to buy a flat or apartment that you can afford.

Although it may not be the perfect home for you and your family, you can always wait for the expected up turn, sell at a tidy profit and re-invest in a more expensive property. In this way you can build up your property portfolio brick- by- figurative-brick.

<strong>Buy to let</strong>

Another way of breaking into the property market is to buy with the intention of letting. The majority of letting agents canvassed recently have indicated the demand for rental property is on the upswing, particularly in the past 6 months.

Landlords are also beginning to see acceptable letting returns, with Gauteng leading the way. Year-on-year flat rentals in Johannesburg and Pretoria ended, on average, 25% higher, far surpassing the 9% consumer inflation growth rate.

The other good news is almost 60% of all rental property is rented out in under a month, making it a very viable investment.

<strong>The quick guide to buying property</strong>

Rather save for a sizeable deposit before making the purchase. If you buy with an 80% – 100% mortgage bond you can’t possibly expect the rental accrued to cover the costs.

If your intention is to ‘buy to let’, shop around for your home loan – certain financial service providers offer home loans designed especially for ‘buy to let’ clients that take into account potential rental income.

Invest for the long term and focus on building your wealth over time. This will mean that you are not held at gun point by short-term fluctuations.

Remember that you can have a steady income from your property and enjoy the capital growth over time as well.

Determining Commercial Property Market Value

Posted on July 26, 2010 by admin

Determining Commercial Property Market Value

Here in the United States, “fair market value” on any item is determined by what a buyer is willing to pay a seller for the item. Simply put, if I have a stick of gum, and I offer it to you for ten cents, and you want to purchase it for ten cents, then the fair market value of the stick of gum is ten cents.


While real estate also has a fair market value, it is a bit harder to determine because of all the factors which go into the valuation. A property, unlike the simple stick of gum in the above example, has multiple aspects for a seller and buyer to put different valuations on. Introduce a lender into the picture, and then you have a third option on valuation to deal with as well.


Determining commercial property market value is different than determining market value for a residential property. In a residential valuation you can simply look at other recent comparable sales in the area, of similar homes and lot sizes, and determine about what a property is worth at any given time. The issue you will find with commercial property is that they tend to be one-of-a-kind properties, and you may not be able to find many local comparable sales in recent times.


One major difference between residential and commercial properties is their location and their use. If you own a large lot inside of the city limits, with a huge warehouse store built on it, with a 10 year lease to a big box store, then you have a very valuable property. If you have the same lot size, with the same store on it, same lease, but it is located 30 miles from the only local town where most people in the area live, then you have a lesser valued property. Location, also known as market area, is more important in commercial real estate because businesses need to be near to their workers and to their customers as well.


Another consideration when looking at market value of a commercial property is the availability of similar properties on the market. By looking at as many properties as possible, you can start to get an idea of what different properties are selling for in your local area. This gives you some leverage to point out differences and better negotiate the price you are willing to pay. This will also give you some idea of how difficult it will be to find a tenant for your property.


If you are tying to determine the market value of a piece of commercial real estate, one of the factors you should always consider is how well other properties in the area are renting and what they are renting for. You will need the rental income to cover your investment funding as well as your day to day costs of owning the property. If you purchase a property at an agreed upon price, will the rents support the costs? What if your property sits vacant for a month or two? These are things you need to think about prior to purchase.


When trying to determine commercial property market value there are many factors which come into play. The biggest being the market area, local property costs, rental income potential, and the property condition itself. By determining what you are willing to pay for a property, and having a professional commercial real estate market analysis completed for you, you can avoid many of the mistakes new commercial property investors make.

UK Property Market Still a Good Investment

Posted on July 26, 2010 by admin

UK Property Market Still a Good Investment

Copyright (c) 2008 Parmdeep Vadesha

There have been reports that the property market in the UK is heading for a downturn, with claims that the market will be gaining its healthy shape in a couple or so years. Jones LaSalle, a property expert, states that the decline of residential and commercial prices over the past nine months has created a “yield gap between prime and secondary assets back into the market.” The guru claims that this situation poses an advantage for cash-rich investors. While the unrelenting tight supply of credit is deemed to have an absolute impact on the property market in the UK as a whole, the firm insists that there is still a demand for quality assets.

This recent report comes amid the general consensus that the housing explosion is over. Recently, the media has reported that most areas in England have listed price declines, with homes located in Greater London taking the sharpest decline of all. These reports may be causing some people in the UK to question if it is still indeed a good time to invest in property.

Stories of a property crash in the UK have been consistently in the news for quite some time now. But many experts are of the belief that the property market will remain solid. The reason is that the supply of property is insufficient to meet demands not to mention the fact the property is still affordable.

When the prices soften or when there is a decrease in asking price, there is always a group of ready-buyers that are willing to pick up bargains. These include would-be first time buyers, family movers, or property investors looking for deals. The reason why there is a ready supply of buyers is because there is a fundamental undersupply of property, as the current number of completed establishments is running below demand.

The increasing demand for a diminishing supply of property will cause prices to remain firm. Even though unsold properties have been reported to increase, the unsold stock levels are expected to stay below the long-term trend. One of the reasons is the growth in population. Inward migration has risen significantly due to the attraction of the UK as an excellent place to work and live in.

In addition to this, there are also two worthy circles that make the decision to invest in property a sound one. Seemingly, no matter which way the UK economy turns, property is still expected to stand out, most especially over the long term. First, when the economies of the world enter another recession or depreciation, then interest rates could come down, further decreasing property investors’ expenses, while retaining the rental revenue. Second, if the capital values of property take a fall, then people will cease buying properties, and rent instead. The increase in rental demand will then spur a rise in property income.

All these point to the fact that property remains one of the best long term investments you can make. The only thing that investors need to seriously take into consideration is the location and choosing the right property at the right time. After they get that down pat, they can expect to take part in the substantial growth of the property investment market that has been consistently performing well over the last decade.

Avoid Top 10 Mistakes Made By Real Estate Investors

Posted on July 21, 2010 by admin

Real estate investment is perhaps one of the most lucrative forms of investment today. But it is also equally risk bound especially when one is not well versed with the trends and nuances of the real estate market. So if you are contemplating on investing in real estate, it is best to avoid costly mistakes in real estate investment especially when you invest your hard earned money into it. Knowing the most common mistakes made by real estate investors helps one steer away from making such mistakes in the future and ensures good return on investment.

Here are the top ten mistakes made by real estate investors, according to bankrate.com. Bankrate has put together the top ten mistakes after speaking to established, full-time real estate investors and other professionals involved in real estate investment such as bankers. Read on to know them and avoid them.

1. Not planning up ahead. Lack of a proper plan is the biggest mistake made by novice investors. Finding a house after forming a proper investment strategy is the right way instead of looking for a house to fit the plan. Many make the mistake of buying a house because it seems to be a good deal and then trying to see how they can fit it into their plan. Instead of buying a house and thinking one can plan in due course, investors should rather concentrate on the numbers and try to make offers on multiple properties. This will ensure a good property that not only matches their investment model but also works out well with the numbers they had planned for.

2. To believe you can make money quickly. The second major mistake that real estate investors make is to think it is very easy to get rich in real estate. This is only a myth and the reality is that investing in real estate is a long term project.

3. Doing it single-handedly. For becoming a successful real estate investor one needs to build a team of professionals who would assist the investor in his deals. This would ideally include a real estate agent, an appraiser, a home inspector, a closing attorney and a lender.

4. Making excess payment. One another reason that investors in real estate goof up in their investment is by paying too much for the properties they buy. Paying too much and locking up all the funds in the erred property deal will leave you with no money to redeem yourself.

5. Leaving out the groundwork. Not doing your homework could be a costly mistake if you were a real estate investor. Every field of business needs sufficient amount of homework to be done, and real estate investment is no exception. Learn the fundamentals and then venture into investing in properties.

6. Throwing caution to the winds. Investors have to exercise a certain degree of caution and take earnest efforts while making a deal. New investors often fail in this regard and sign a deal without doing adequate research on the property.

7. Miscalculating money flow. Investors whose strategy is to buy, hold and rent out properties need to ensure sufficient cash flow for maintenance. Property managers could be expensive and the owner has to incur more expenses such as mortgage, taxes, insurance, advertising costs etc. Investors have to allocate their budget such that all these expenses are taken care of, or end up having their asset turn into a liability.

8. Lowering the volume. A larger volume of deals or transactions helps in increasing the profits by reducing the impacts of marginal deals.

9. Getting trapped in your own deal. Having more number of options at hand for the property you buy is a wise strategy. This helps one to be prepared for fluctuations in the real estate market. Plans to rent out the house could go awry when the rental market slumps. Having alternative plans helps you cut down losses and tackle unexpected situations.

10. Making incorrect estimates. People who plan to rehab their house need to check if they will still reap the benefits at double the time that they had estimated. This ensures they do not miscalculate and lose money on the deal.

Central San Diego Real Estate Market – Mid Year Snapshot Of Median Prices (2006) – Single Family Homes

Posted on July 21, 2010 by admin

Central San Diego Real Estate Market – Mid Year Snapshot of Median Prices (2006) – Single Family Homes

As of this writing, the San Diego real estate markets appears to have shifted from one that favors sellers to one that favors buyers. However, this premise may not hold true for all communities within San Diego, as median prices for some communities continue to rise while others fall.

While there are many metrics to evaluate the real estate pricing trends of a community, one commonly used parameter is to evaluate the median price of homes from one point in time against a prior point of time. The median price reflects the point at which half the homes are above a particular price point, and half the homes are below a particular price point. The median price metric provides one method to analyze the direction of home prices, but should not be used as the sole source of data from which to form conclusions.

The data below is a comparison of median prices for various communities in central San Diego County, comparing data from June 2005 against data for June 2006. This information is only one metric at a particular point in time, and other metrics or data from future months may support or dispute the pricing trends noted below. For some of the San Diego communities presented below, very few homes sold during June 2006, which diminishes the usefulness of the median price metric.

COMMUNITIES WITH INCREASES IN MEDIAN PRICE – SINGLE FAMILY HOMES – JUNE 2006

The data below pertains only to the sales of single-family homes, and does not include condominiums or townhomes. The data is organized by the magnitude of change in median price, with the highest change in median price presented first.

For the Point Loma real estate market, the median price was ,024,068, which represents an 11.4% increase from the same time last year. Approximately 20 homes sold in June 2006 (14 homes sold in June 2005).
