Tarudhan Valley Golf Resort in Gurgaon calls itself India's first gated golf community. They have 213 studio apartments and villas — all facing a nine-hole course spread over 52 acres and costing between 0.75 crore and Rs 3.5 crore. "Golf attracts a certain type of people and our idea is to create a likeminded community," says Ravish Awasthy of Silverglades, promoters of this property. Besides NRIs and people who have offices in Gurgaon, there are non-golfers too who have invested in Tarudhan, lured by the view of the rugged Aravali Hills and a beautifully landscaped garden.

| | The residential market in some Sofia neighbourhoods is showing signs of slowdown | | 2008-07-04 13:11:00 | | Until recently, Bulgaria’s real estate market seemed a fairy tale told by a developer-type Hans Christian Andersen. High returns, quick profits, an omnivorous market gulping up projects from scratch. That magic world gave not only vendors, but also buyers a blissful life. They would obtain not only a home but also a rock-solid investment to safeguard them against inflation and jittery financial markets. Mortgage monthly fees would be lower than the rent they would otherwise have paid for their apartments. At the same time, rising real estate costs generated good profits should the owner opt for sale. National Statistics Institute data shows that the value of homes more than tripled throughout the 2002-2007 period. The hike was most tangible in Sofia, and in individual neighbourhoods rates leapt by 50 per cent last year alone, whereas the average ask price for a sq m surpassed 1000 euro.

| | Areas north of Montreal seeing incredible residential boom | | 2008-04-24 17:50:00 | | In 2006, when Manouk Alexanian decided to buy a condo, he quickly found himself priced out of Montreal."I looked around the downtown area for condos and the prices were high, sizes were small and the taxes were high as well," said the 29-year-old consultant. "But since my job is in downtown, I needed a fast way to get there."Rather than sacrifice space or convenience, Alexanian began to look north, in Laval, where prices were lower and a newly-extended métro line was set to open. After less than two weeks, he found a 900-square-foot apartment for $120,000, about two blocks from the de la Concorde métro, one of the three new métro stations that opened last year.

| | Residential Real Estate Appraisal Key Terms | | 2007-11-29 22:28:00 | | To be able to fully understand the concepts of residential real estate appraisal, here is a list of important terms with meaning. Appraisal becomes important in times of selling the property, buying a property, divorcing the partner, settling the estate, and relocating an employee. In some point of our lifetime, we are going to encounter appraisals at least once.Fair Market ValueIt is the median price between the highest price acceptable to buyer and lowest price acceptable to seller.Market ValueIt is the most likely price at which the property would sell. The property must sell at a right price in which the price is not too high and low. Thus, an overprice property will sell a little longer. In most cases, an overprice property sells when the market value catch up with the selling price.PriceIt is often confuse with Market Value. Price differs slightly from Market Value. Although the Market Value gives the seller an idea how much to sell the property, the price may be higher or lower than the Market Value. For example, a buyer is willing to pay $20,000 more than the Market Value. This happens when there are many potential buyers for the property.Value in UseThis relates to the net present value (NPV) of the property use. The NPV is the difference between present value of cash inflow and outflow. For example, a home buyer wants to purchase a property. He estimates the future cash flow that the property would generate. Then, he discounts the cash flow into a lump sum value amount. Let us say $450,000. If the home owner sells less than $450,000, the home buyer considers in purchasing the property.Investment ValueIt is the amount that the investor would pay to acquire the property. The Investment Value may be higher or lower than the fair Market value.Insurable ValueThe Insurance Policy covers the value of the property which is the Insurable Value.Subject PropertyIt is the property which the appraiser evaluates or analyzes. The Appraiser analyzes the location, ameniti | | By: All of Real Estate | | |

| | Why residential Realtors support the FairTax | | 2007-10-05 14:27:00 | | by Harvey Abernethy, Realtor® (This article can be accessed for printing HERE.)The FairTax plan has many positive features, not the least of which are the advantages that accrue to real estate ownership. The FairTax plan allows homeowners to: • Pay an entire house payment, both principal and interest, with "pre-tax" dollars, a major improvement over the paltry home-interest tax deduction, which only pays interest with pre-income tax/post-payroll tax dollars.• Get this benefit without itemizing deductions, which only a small percentage of homeowners do today.• Save for down payments much faster, without the penalty of taxation.• Reduce interest rates even lower than they are today. The current system punishes those who would own property. The federal income tax is unfair, complex, and riddled with loopholes. Even worse, itpunishes work, savings, investment, and productivity. It contributes to high interest ratesand a lack of savings among the American people. But now, fundamental tax reform isseriously being discussed in Washington. The most innovative proposal is HR 25, called the Fair Tax Act. The FairTax is revenue-neutral legislation, repealing and replacing the following with a progressive retail sales tax: • The individual income tax (including capital gains and alternative minimum taxes)• The estate and gift tax• The corporate income tax• All payroll taxes including the Social Security, Medicare, and self-employment taxesThis single-rate sales tax is calculated to raise the same amount of money raised by the current system (revenue neutral). This proposal does not seek to raise or lower taxes but just to change the collection system. The change in the collection system provides the least expensive, least intrusive, most efficient way of raising the same amount of money, which removes significant friction from the American economy. A 30-percent1 federal sales tax is imposed on all retail sales of goods and services. Used goods are not taxed, including pre-owned homes. American exports do not have tax costs embedded in their prices. Businesses-to-business transactions are not taxed, therefore no commercial real estate transactions are taxed. The sales tax is separately stated and charged. Social Security and Medicare benefits are fully funded and secure, with funds raised from a broad-based, progressive sales tax, rather than a narrow, regressive payroll tax. States can elect to collect the federal sales tax on behalf of the federal government. Strong taxpayer rights provisions are incorporated into the act. The burden of proof in disputes is on the government. Because of these features, the FairTax (a) makes all federal taxes visible, (b) untaxes the poor, (c) raises only the same amount of money as the current system does, and (d) untaxes savings and investments. In other words, it only taxes spending, not income. Not only is this plan a fantastic benefit to individual Americans, it particularly benefits the real estate industry, both commercial and residential. The FairTax supercharges the mortgage interest "deduction." Under an income tax, the mortgage interest deduction is half a loaf. It allows home mortgage interest payments to be made with pre-income tax dollars. But mortgage interest payments must still be made with money that has already been payroll-taxed (the payroll tax comprises the most significant taxes first time homeowners pay). Under the FairTax, mortgage interest and principal payments are simply not taxed, so the entire payment is made with both pre-income and pre-payroll tax dollars. Individuals are able to save for the purchase of a home much faster, which increases and accelerates the volume of home sales. Today, buyers seeking to buy a new home or to step up to a larger or second home are taxed on their savings, reducing them. No wonder our savings rates are so low. Under the FairTax, savings and investment are not taxed, allowing buyers to save the down payment in about half the time (nothing is deducted from their paychecks). As a result, a chain effect takes place: Accumulation of down payments is easier and faster, existing owners are able to sell their homes faster and more new home sales take place. Realtors make more money faster since there are more qualified buyers faster. Mortgage interest rates fall. Today, mortgage interest rates are artificially inflated because they include a tax premium, which is the amount lenders pay in taxes on the income they receive. Because lenders don’t pay taxes on income under the FairTax, it is as if every homeowner is entitled to finance with a tax-free municipal bond. Home mortgage interest rates fall by 25 to 30 percent (i.e., about two points on a 30-year conventional mortgage). Real interest rates also stay low because the supply of capital for borrowing increases. With lower interest payments, everyone wins – especially homebuyers, sellers, and Realtors. The FairTax makes housing more affordable by repealing upstream taxes. Like other businesses, homebuilders pay corporate taxes, significant compliance costs, and payroll taxes, not only directly, but also in the form of upstream producer price increases that are included in their material and labor costs. Under the FairTax, these upstream costs are eliminated. Under the FairTax, principal payments are still sales taxed (as they are today, since the income earned to pay for that principal is taxed) but new home sales prices fall as a result of the removal of upstream tax costs. A home buyer can earn less to buy the same home. Considering the fact that a consumption tax taxes purchases, but the income and payrolltaxes take the money before we purchase, the proper comparison question between thetwo methods is simply this: How much money would a purchaser have to make to payfor the home? Since the FairTax lowers marginal rates, homebuyers face lower after-tax costs of their principal payments. A far simpler, fairer system for Realtors Under the FairTax, no sales tax is collected or paid in commercial transactions, so commercial Realtors are essentially removed from the tax system completely. There is no longer any record keeping for income taxes, payroll taxes, or any other such items. All Realtors earn their commissions and put 100 percent of that money in their pockets. The FairTax ensures no American pays this tax on necessities. Because there are no exemptions or exclusions from the FairTax, it provides every family with a rebate of the sales tax on spending up to the federal poverty income level (about $25,660 for a family of four). The rebate is paid monthly in advance. In this way, no individual or family pays tax on essential goods and services and middle-class families are effectively exempted on a large part of their annual spending. The poor and those on fixed incomes pay no tax whatsoever – hidden or obvious – up to the poverty level. Get the FairTax residential real estate affordability calculator and worksheets. FairTax.org provides both an automatic calculator, to compare the amounts homeowners can spend on homes under the current and FairTax systems, as well as worksheets for doing these calculations with pencil and calculator. To obtain these, please send an e-mail to info@fairtax.org and put "Need auto calculator" in the subject line. 1 This issue is often confusing, so we explain more here.When income tax rates are quoted, economists call that a tax-inclusive quote: "I paid 23 percent last year." For every $100 earned, $23 went to Uncle Sam. Or, "I had to make $130 to have $100 to spend." That’s a 23-percent tax-inclusive rate. We choose to compare the FairTax to income taxes, quoting the rate the same way, because the FairTax replaces such taxes. That rate is 23 percent. Sales taxes, on the other hand, are generally quoted tax exclusive: "I bought a $77 shirt and had to pay that same $23 in sales tax." This is a 30-percent sales tax. Or, "I spent a dollar, 77¢ for the product and 23¢ in tax." This rate, when programmed into a point-of-purchase terminal, is 30 percent. Note that no matter which way it is quoted, the amount of tax is the same. Under an income tax rate of 23 percent, you have to earn $130 to spend $100. Spend that same $100 under a sales tax, you pay that same tax of $30, and the rate is quoted as 30 percent. | | By: Cherokee County GA Real Estate | | |
| | Las Vegas home and condo market condition past, present and future. What happened to Las Vegas residential real estate 2003-2005 (part one) | | 2007-08-31 04:08:16 | | Las Vegas real estate began to heat up towards the summer of 2002 and really heated up by Feb-2003. During the summer of 2003 new home sales staff would not even let the customers in the sales office. Every time a new home builder announced the opening of a new home sub-division there would be lines formed up to 5 days before grand opening and those who made it to the sales office had to win a lottery for privilege of buying from the builder. Most Las Vegas sales offices had huge waiting lists, and buyers were told they had to wait for more than a year before their turn comes up. The situation got so bad that Pulte raised the price for one their projects in Summerlin by about $200K from high $400,000 to high $600K over a weekend and only 8 buyers dropped out. One has to note that neither fundamentals of economy nor real estate would support such price increases.

| | Massachusetts residential real estate has become a game of survival | | 2007-07-11 00:38:00 | | "Agents who have gotten into the business (recently) have never seen anything like this market now," Rosseland said, noting there's been a 30 to 40 percent decrease in the number of agents versus two years ago in some places. Particularly hard hit, according to Rosseland, are newer agents. Peter Certo, manager at Keller Williams Realty in Worcester, said the median wage for agents is being held back by agents who fail to adapt to the current residential market or who aren't being pushed to produce. Instead, some of those agents find themselves competing with, or ignored by, independent brokers who are selling just to keep the office doors open, Certo said.

| | | Developers await verdict on planned residential units | | 2007-07-02 19:06:06 | | Key zoning report will outline impact on city’s eastern areas
by Robert Selna, Chronicle Staff Writer
Scores of developers with residential projects pending on San Francisco’s east side will learn more this week about whether they will someday be allowed to build thousands of new apartments and condominiums.
More than a year after the Board of Supervisors and planning officials put an abrupt halt to the development plans, the city cleared for release on Saturday a draft report examining how zoning changes across 2,200 acres in four South of Market neighborhoods could affect the traffic, noise, pollution, jobs and housing supply in the area.
Together, the neighborhoods — the Mission, Showplace Square/Potrero Hill, East SoMa and Central Waterfront — represent much of the heart of San Francisco’s industrial past but also opportunities for new construction of market-rate and affordably priced condominiums and apartments.

| | The Palms: Best Residential Market Rate | | 2007-06-25 19:04:42 | |

San Francisco Times Contributor
In one deal, developer Joe Cassidy created housing for both the wealthiest and poorest of San Franciscans. The developments: 300 Luxury condominiums called the Palms and 56 below-market apartments on Brannan Street that were not part of the original plan. Cassidy acquired vacant land at 555 Fourth Street in 2004 and planned to build 172 live-work lofts. He changes his strategy during a conversation with Randy Shaw, director of Tenderloin Housing Clinic, a non-profit that provides legal services to low income tenants. “I said to Joe, ‘why don’t you build more (market-rate) units and provide off-site affordable housing?” it would be win-win for everyone,” Shaw said. As is typical of new residential construction in the city, the original live-work scheme met resistance from neighbors, who wanted more affordable housing.
At the time, regulations did not require developers to include affordable housing when buil | | By: San Francisco New Developments | | |
