The European real estate market in comparison

We just jumped into the year 2020 and curious to know how the real estate market in Europe was doing last year? Maybe we can find a tendency that is a must-know for our real estate strategy.

When making my research I came across a very interesting report that really opened my eyes to a few surprising facts regarding the real estate in Europe. I can recommend this to everybody to have a read.

Property Index – Overview of European Residential Markets

Also, they will regularly post new reports – so you can keep up with new developments. “Data is the new gold”, so they say and I believe they are right. Acting according to the data provided can give you a big advantage.

Here are some results from this report I found very useful.

Since 2015, growing prices were seen in 15 (from a total of 16 EU countries). Italy being the only exception. There, property prices have been falling gently but little by little for years.

The typical annual growth in European property purchase prices has been 5 percent over the past three years.

In Eastern European countries (the likes of Hungary or the Czech Republic) and in Portugal, however, this increase was almost twice as high, which makes it increasingly problematic for people in these countries to acquire real estate in view of the lower income levels. In Eastern Europe the price growth may be seen as catch-up growth. Also, price developments are motivated in particular by the low interest rate environment. The “cheap” money fuels the property prices on one side, but also increases debt on the other.

The purchase price index between urban property prices and those in the countryside continue to separate and continue to show the ever more differing development of purchase prices between urban and rural regions. Just to look at one example, property prices in German cities such as Berlin, Frankfurt and Hamburg exceed the national average by half; Munich has the highest German value at 130 percent. Looking at Europe as a whole, Munich is not the only one: in a European comparison Paris and Lisbon (both about 220% above average) and London (198%) show an even more extreme development.

Are you looking for a great real estate bargain in Europe?

Or maybe you see this as a good time to cash on those favourable developments. Here are two places that can help you.

I recently tried to find the most searched real estate locations in the world. Seems easy enough, right? Well, actually it is not. We can find the answer to that question only to some degree. The reason being that we have limited sources…

First of all, we usually can only see what people search on the internet.

Nobody is able to analyse all the requests real estate agents get from their clients all over the world in person. And to be fair, in many countries the face to face business is still more common than online business especially when it comes to real estate.

Another factor is the many languages spoken in this world. If I search for “most searched real estate locations” I will only get results in English – only representing English speaking countries. According to Wikipedia, there exists approx. 6500 languages though…

Another thing is that even among English speaking countries there are differences, one country might call it “real estate” but another country rather uses the word “property” instead.

Also, we can look at statistics of Google or similar search engines but what about the thousands of real estate portals that exists all over the world? How can we know what users enter in their search form? You really need to make a lot of research to come even close to an answer for that question.

Anyway, what kind of locations are you looking for? A country, a city or even a town…?

Usually people ask about the most searched real estate locations because they like to know where is a really good place for investment. But then, this again comes down to the good old fashion supply and demand rule. If demand increases and supply remains unchanged, then it leads to a higher price.

Taking this in account, we need to see where demand is actually increased.

To determine whether demand is increased you have to compare the number of searches for real estate with the number of available real estate. And this can mean that you don’t need to go all around the world to find a good investment. It might even be a small town in your own country.

From my experience any place (city, town) that has good jobs available has a thriving real estate market.

For example, I live in a small town with a lot of industry and jobs around. Therefore, the demand for real estate – especially one-bedroom apartments – is very high. The last apartment that was put up for sale sold within 12 hours. Amazing! That’s the kind of location you like to invest in.

But to come back to above question, here are some locations I found today using results of search engine results in English:

London, Vancouver, Toronto, Utah, Newburgh Indiana, Wake County and Allegheny County Real Estate…

I have to say though, after all research I did on this topic those locations not necessarily are a good place for investment. You will always need to make more research to determine whether it is a good location for an investment or not.

A good first impression of a property is always the most important thing. To achieve this when selling your house, the use of nice accessories, such as a fancy letter box, a cute house number sign or some flower pots beside the entrance door is essential.

Small things like this not only improve the overall feel of a house but are also an indicator of who lives here.

It should express your personal character and taste. There are numerous ways to display a house number, for example. There is the right design for every taste. I noticed that vintage signs have been very popular recently. Those good old fashion white numbers on a blue enamel sign.

Every house has a mailbox, of course.

It is not just for receiving letters and advertisements. It also expresses the individual character and taste of the person behind the mailbox. Often, the letter box is integrated into the front door in the form of a letter flap.

There is nothing more beautiful than nature’s beauty. A well-arranged flower pot at the entrance is an eye-catcher. Flowers in lovely fresh colors are always triggering good emotions – and that is very important when selling your house.

Besides using the right accessories for the best first impression, a well-kept garden and clean house complete the impression. You will be seeling your real estate in no time.

Since the potential buyer does not only want to see the outside area, it is clear that you also have to present the inside of your property in an appealing way. You don’t have to offer a sterile atmosphere.

Well-chosen decoration ensures that the prospective buyer feels welcome and comfortable.

One of the most important preparations for an on-site visit with potential buyers is to put the interior in a tidy condition and to repair any defects in the house:

    Are all rooms tidy and clean?

    Are repairs required?

    Would parquet or tiles need to be restored?

    Could the walls use some paint or a new wallpaper?

    What items can you remove now?

    How can you decorate and create a good atmosphere?

When I first read about house hacking, I was very surprised. I thought this was a new thing, but I discovered that I’m actually already doing it for years.

House Hacking is a great new name for a concept that has been around for a long time. Although it isn’t new, the popularity has increased dramatically. While owning real estate has becomes less affordable – especially in city centres, inventive home buyers are finding new ways to own a great property.

Basically, House Hacking is a tactic that includes renting out portions of your property to generate income. This income is used to pay your mortgage and other expenses linked with owning your real estate. If done properly, it lets you live in a great location completely for free, or even generate some profit.

Of course, although it gives you some financial relief it doesn’t come work free. You must be willing to become a landlord and take on all duties that come with it.

Ok, so how can I House Hack?

The entire idea of an effective House Hack is to find real estate with as many rentable spaces as possible to generate income. These can be a multi-family building with several apartments, extra bedrooms in a single-family house, additional space that can be converted into liveable space or even a garage.

That’s basically what I did. I bought a multi-family house with a garage. The property had 4 apartments. I moved into one apartment and rented the other three units and the garage. Like this I was able to live for free and the rents that I received paid all expenses of the property.

Best is to make some calculations before you go house hunting to see what you actually need. First question you need to tackle: How many units do I need to rent to pay the mortgage and other expenses of the property?

Also keep in mind that the location is very important. A great location will give you a better rent and you will find tenants quicker.

If you don’t like to consider a Multi-family property, what about a single-family house with a granny flat? Have a look around in the real estate market and see what could work for you.

Conclusion

If you like to be an inventive real estate investor but doesn’t want to pay the mortgage out of your own pocket, House Hacking could definitely work for you. Your real estate isn’t just your residence, but it’s also providing you with an income.

Start looking for your House Hack property.

How to find the best real estate deals that are out there

A house that costs less than a used car, is it possible? Yes, it is. There are great real estate deals available if you are flexible regarding the location or condition.

The best place to start would be to have a look at www.propertyunder20k.com an established website that list only real estate that costs less than 20,000 EUR. You get an overview very quickly when you look at the world map on their homepage. You can see straight away where are the best deals available. Or maybe you like to look at the cheapest house near you – simply zoom into your location.

Granted, for that price it is very likely that you will need to invest a bit more money to make the property a comfortable home for you. The price usually reflects its condition. Or if it is in good condition it might be very small or be in a location where real estate in general is cheaper.

But no worries, you can work your way up.

You don’t necessarily need to go for the absolute cheapest house that is out there. Go for one that you can afford including the renovation costs – otherwise you might be stuck with a problem. Make your homework before. See if you like the location, the neighbourhood and if you can handle the renovation. This means, you might need to climb up the price ladder a little bit until you find the best real estate deal for you.

This website was designed especially for that – to show the cheapest real estate in the world. Over the years we have seen many who took the plunge and bought a house abroad as they just couldn’t resist to let a great bargain go to someone else. Some deals seem to good to be true. But make no mistake. Sit down first and write down the pros and cons before making a hasty decision. Especially when buying a house abroad it can be difficult to look after it or find someone to manage it for you.

How to find real estate deals that suit you?

Get a good overview first of what is out there. Maybe you could afford more than 20,000 EUR. There are websites with higher price ranges such as www.propertyunder50k.com. You can use the advanced search to narrow down the real estate listings until you find exactly what you are looking for.

Conclusion

There are thousands of great real estate deals out there. Usually they don’t come problem free but if you feel able to deal with them it is the best way to get one of the cheapest real estate in the world.

We all agree, how nice it is to live in your own home! But this does not necessarily need to be a new building, because a converted or older house can just be as good that, maybe even be better. At the same time, however, you should pay particular attention to older real estate to enjoy it for many years to come – and get its value in case you want to resell your home someday.

Let’s look at 10 tips on how to do this.

Tip 1: Do repairs without delay

Maintenance is key. Take care of necessary repairs immediately. Whether a drain is clogged, the gutter is leaking or the shutter is stuck… Do not postpone such supposed trivialities, but tackle them before they become a bigger problem. It does not always have to be a costly craftsman. Many things can be done by yourself or by friends. And if you ever need a professional you might be able to include his bill as an expense in your tax declaration.

Tip 2: Ventilate and heat properly

Even if the insulation has already been improved during the renovation, you can do even more to prevent condensation and mold. Do not place the windows in a tilt position for hours. Instead, it is advisable to have a breather once or twice a day, during which you open the windows for 5 to 10 minutes and turn off the heating. By the way, a cross ventilation is recommended for a complete exchange of air, in which the air flow pulls through the whole house. Open the intermediate doors and anchor them with a doorstop to prevent them from slamming.

Tip 3: Turn off water in winter

If you live in a climate with freezing cold winters turning off the water is a must. Maybe your house has pipes that lead to the garden or some unheated rooms like a garage. These should be turned off in winter, especially if there is a risk of frost. Otherwise a pipe break threatens because frozen water, meaning ice, needs more space in the pipe than liquid water. By the way, you should also completely empty the garden hose in winter, as it can also cause water damage.

Tip 4: Avoid moistening the wall

With heavy showers accompanied by heavy wind, you can usually wait for the walls to dry again. But not with snowdrifts: Anyone who does not actively remove the snow here risks damaging the walls. Then the mortar may crumble, and algae and mold can settle there. Therefore, you should always be mindful in winter. Even when snow clearing be careful to don’t shovel the snow directly on the house and garage walls.

Tip 5: Protect your parquet and laminate floors

Delicate floors should be treated gently. Dirt and moisture on the footwear damage parquet and laminate. Take off your shoes before entering or lay a runner where you cannot avoid entering with wet or dirty footwear. Be careful with potted plants and their irrigation water with these floor coverings. Place the plants in a saucer so that no soil or moisture reaches the floor of your home.

Tip 6: Use balcony plants sparingly, but pour more frequently

Many people when watering their balcony plants water so generously that the irrigation water runs down the balcony floor and walls. But watch out, here too will happen moisture damage. Keep in mind, it is better to pour a little more frequently, but well dosed, so that the water does not permanently damage the walls. By the way, frequent watering but with less water is also better for most plants.

Tip 7: Only burn dry and untreated wood in your wood stove

Some people dispose of lacquered or impregnated wood in their wood-burning oven. Not only does this cause harmful fumes, it also does not go well with your heating. It creates soot deposits in the exhaust pipe and chimney. Gloss is particularly dangerous as a result of too moist wood or too little oxygen. Because it can ignite and cause a chimney fire with temperatures up to 1,500 degrees Celsius. Therefore, only fire your stove with untreated, dry wood.

Tip 8: Do a spring check

And again, we talk about maintenance for your home. Fall and winter are regularly causing some damage to a building. There might be clogged gutters and downpipes, cracks in the plaster, roof tiles loosened by storm or peeling paint. Here, fast action is often required! Best you get a checklist of what to look out for. In some areas this checklist can be found at the Association of Private Builders.

Tip 9: Where water vapor is generated, air immediately

In dry rooms it is sufficient to ventilate once or twice a day. Not so in rooms where steam is created. We are talking about the bathroom after bathing and showering or in the kitchen during and after cooking. Even if it is still cold outside, ventilate the steam immediately. By the way, the bedroom should also be well ventilated, because steam also gets into the room air during sleep by respiring. And you know, when water vapor sets on cool walls, mold quickly turns up.

Tip 10: Ask chimney sweeper for advice

A heating system usually offers a lot of optimization potential. However, if you ask your heating engineer about this, you will not necessarily receive neutral information – because as an entrepreneur, he may have an interest in selling you something new. The chimney sweeper comes into the house anyway. And if you ask him, he can certainly give you a lot of good advice for the right setting of your heating system or for ideal heating behaviour in your property. Try it, it can be worth it!

An existing property can be a lot of fun!

You like your commercial real estate purchase to be a smooth experience? Then, you may need to consider a professional agent to get you the best deals. With the increasing popularity of the real estate industry these days, you will find lots of commercial property for sale in the market.  However, these real estate agents play a vital role in helping you buy or sell a property efficiently.

In this tough economic period, buying a commercial real estate requires making a sensible and careful decision.

It does not matter the type of business you are involved in; a reputed agent will provide you with the best commercial property for sale listings. After that, you can go through the listing provided and accordingly make an appropriate decision.

How To Determine The Value Of A Commercial Real Estate For Sale

When you are considering a commercial property for sale, one of the major things to ask for is the profit and loss statement. Some real estate agents may refer to this profit and loss statement as an income property operating data sheet (IPOD). The reason for this when looking at any commercial property for sale is that the owner and/or agent often tend to exaggerate the income that the commercial property for sale generates while also trying to lower the amount of operating expenses that are reported. But with the IPOD, you can compare the information provided by the seller or agent to your other sources to determine what the actual numbers are.

How To Protect Yourself

One way to protect yourself when considering a commercial property for sale is to ensure there is a clause in your purchase contract that gives you a period to escape the deal if you are not pleased with anything you find. If done correctly, you may tie up a commercial property for about 50 days to have enough time to determine its real value.

Hiring A Commercial Real Estate Agent

The best part of hiring a real estate agent is that they are generally up to date with the latest happenings in the industry, and will help you make amazing dealings to ensure you get what you desire. Before hiring one, you can check their past records, qualifications, as well as read their customer’s reviews to get an idea of what to expect from them. This way, your chances of getting good commercial real estate deals will be high.

Final thought
