Real Estate Homes Online

Is there a website offering info on real-estate value trends by state/zip code or other similar stuff?

www.zillow.com, check it out! The only bad thing about this site, is if you are in a area that doesn’t have much coverage it won’t give you much info. If you are in a major city, then its pretty good. so, hopefully you’re in a major metropolitan area…..

I am looking for a real estate book that covers off on everything I need to know about purchasing a house for both personal use and profit. Would prefer it to be up to date to cover off on any recent trends. Also, while I want it to go through the basics, I don’t want a "Real Estate for Dummies" book. If the basics and the advanced cant be covered in one book, multiple book selections would be appreciated.

You would do well to connect with a savy real estate broker. They will guide you thru the process, even help with getting vendors at discounts to do some of the work you can’t. They will help you buy properties that will make you money and avoid those you can not. No book can teach you that, and the market is constantly changing. By the time it is in print in a magazine, the magazine is out of date. Imagine how dated books are by the time they are ready for print!

Get a full broker who deals with this type of property. Bear in mind that if you buy and sell in less than a year the tax rate is what ever your normal tax rate is. To qualify for long term cap gain rate (15%) requires you hold it 12 months and a day. A licensed broker has access to the Real Estate market and knows the resale opportunities of a given area. The right one will make you money. Interview several and ask their level of expertise with this type of property.

I am looking for a good website that talks about how the market is in the Real Estate and has many articles on real estate. Just basically a good site to learn about whats happening with the real estate.

What it cant be is something like foreclosures i do not want to make money i just want to learn about the real estate market.It has to be updated like any news place…..

Hopefully you can help me…..best website gets best answer

I’ve read the news about the slump of Real Estate prices in some parts of the US…

But from where I come from – in the Arabian Gulf – Real Estate is booming and you will find buyers for any property whatever the price is ! Especially when the buyers are corporate buyers !
And prices are very much high…
But what has a starting should have an ending too…

And the question is, will what happened in the US also happen in the Arabian Gulf (maybe after a decade) ? What might be the reasons ?

One reason that I can think of is that prices will be so high that it might reach a range not affordable for individual consumers, and the starting trend here is an extended family where a large family will live in one big house – sometimes for a long time -
And therefore demand – for a long time – might be very low, forcing prices of Real Estate down!

What do you think ? And when would that happen ?

I’m caught up between becoming a fashion designer and a Real Estate agent… I’ve always loved fashion and i have a passion for shopping and I know what looks good and I can spot trends before they even start. But on the other side, i’m terrified not to make a lot of money doing that… and real estate agents get 7% of the price of the house they sell… and I really want to make a lot of money and i love houses, i’m always super curious as to what the interior of houses i see look like… so its a really tough decision. What would you suggest is the best choice?

Real estate agent is a more conservative route to take…. go that way…..

I’m considering joining a condo conversion firm in California, but am worried about the timing and how the business might fare given recent weakening in the housing market. Intuitively I’d think if real estate prices are dropping, fewer people will be converting into condos, so it might not be a good move for me. The guy who’s trying to hire me is saying that the condo conversion biz is market independent and is a generally strengthening trend. Does anyone out there with experience in real estate want to weigh in here? Please list your credentials as well, and i’ll give lots of points to the best, etc. Thanks.
This is in the northern california market…

Don’t do it. The Real Estate market, including condo conversions, is almost at a stand-still. Real estate sales are coming to a stop, some even at loan closings. Some people are even willing to walk away even though they’ve put a good size deposit down. They know if they keep waiting, they’ll get a better deal. The risk is too high right now for condo conversions. Even more riskier if you don’t have any experience with this.

i read different news about it,,,when will it be applied? How much will it be?
sohow much tax,year, would be paid in a chalet for 5 million pound?? does any one know???????????

Hey there Zoser,

The new real estate law keeps changing with the new additions from the parliament the recent of which is increasing the exemption threshold from LE 250 K to LE 500 K, also exempting units with a rental value less than LE 6k per year, which means about LE 500 a month. All the units to be taxed will be subject to a 10 percent tax (down from 12%) that will be further reduced after deducting the 30 percent maintenance costs.

Payment also under the new amendments could be divided into two installments at the beginning and mid year and according to the news it will start next year on all real estate over that amount…… (All the properties owned in places like the North Coast and Sokhna, Hurghada and Sharm…) and all the new places in 6th of October and 10 of Ramadan etc..

The thing is, who will value these properties, cos most of them were bought years ago with a much lesser value than they are today and according to the boom in the Real Estate market, most of all the flats and real estate are near if not much more above that amount.

With the bank stocks going down alot and they predict banks will lose more money on forclosures. I have a buyer for my condo and she has great credit and assets and great job.

My qustion is how hard now is it to get a 80/20 mortgage?

Should I be worried about all the latest news??

Just ride it out. There ’s a lot of stuff in the news today about bank stocks and by Monday, the talk may be on something different.

If she’s agreed on the price you want and you’ve made a deal, let the bank have the headache.
