<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Mexican Caribbean is one of the most diverse areas in terms
of real estate and lifestyles which it offers American and Canadian
buyers. Whether you prefer the luxury of high rise condos in modern
Cancun Real Estate at the north end of the Mexican Caribbean coast, the
more traditional community of Cozumel Real Estate on a beautiful island,
or the newly opportunities of Costa Maya at the south, near the Belize
border, the Mexican Caribbean offers many options, and includes the
benefit of being within a short drive to many other communities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cancun
is the flagship of Mexican Caribbean; although it's a relatively new
city, created from scratch 40 years ago, since then it has established
itself as a favorite for international tourists not only within Mexico,
but on a world-wide level. Owning real estate in Cancun means your
beachfront condo will have easy access to new, modern malls on wide,
well designed roads, as well as to nightlife, restaurants and many, many
seaside activities. While Cancun's reputation in tourism keeps all of
this well maintained through public and private investment, Cancun isn't
just sitting back and letting the tourists roll in; the recent
expansion of the airport and construction of a new convention center is
posing Cancun to become one of the most important travel and business
convention hubs in North and South America. With this status comes
increased property value, new rental demand, and, in short, more
investment opportunities.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The island of Cozumel, about an hour and
a half away, is one of two communities in this area that has been
continuously inhabited since the ancient Mayan days. It is also one of
the Caribbean's favorite cruise stops, and has recently gained increased
status as a home port for an important Pullmantur cruise. While Cozumel
offers a calm, relaxing lifestyle, with close contact to the islands
lush nature and mystical Mayan ruins, this new tourism brought from
cruise vacationers who choose to extend their stay in Cozumel after the
cruise, will likewise will bring growth and new opportunities to the
real estate industry.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Across the strait from Cozumel is Playa del
Carmen, which has been Latin America's fastest growing community for a
couple of years now, and shows no signs of slowing down. Strategically
positioned between Cancun, Cozumel and Tulum, Playa del Carmen's unique
atmosphere defined by comfortable homes and low-rise condos, with a bit
of a European feel to it from all the Italians (second only to Americans
in numbers) continues to present some of Mexico's finest real estate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Tulum
Real Estate is the area promising to show the most growth in the near
future. Currently a small village, Tulum has recently gained status as a
separate municipality, has created a well-designed urban growth plan
with a green and sustainable focus and has begun to open up attractive
new developments such as Aldea Zama, an contemporary-rustic style
village, selling lots for people who like the idea of living within a
short walk to the beachfront, near an elegant shopping area.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The
new airport in Tulum is expected to accelerate the attraction of new
services and conveniences, in addition to start bringing further
attention to tourism and real estate to the south of the state,
especially the Costa Maya area, which is south of the Sian Ka'an
biosphere reserve, one of the world's most biologically diverse areas.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
What's a prefabricated home you may be asking yourself? Well,
it's a mobile home that's not "mobile" anymore. It appears that the
mobile home has transformed into a more luxurious home known as a
prefabricated home, also referred to as modular homes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Traditionally,
we know that non-mobile homes increase in value over time and mobile
homes would generally decrease in value. However, over the past several
years as we've watched the housing market take a turn, we've experienced
many changes, from foreclosures to declined property values. Now, today
it seems as though the tables have turned, traditional houses are now
declining in value and modular houses are on the rise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, what's
drawing real estate investors to these prefabricated homes and why are
they becoming the new real estate investment trend?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here are a few reasons why:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>In the late 1970's the Federal Government implemented a safety
standard that extended a modular home's life to meet the maximum loan
life of 25 years.</li>
<li>They require less land and many investors and/or those seeking their first home are becoming more attracted to this alternative.</li>
<li>Prefabricated homes are built much stronger than traditional one's
because they are built at one location and then transported to the new
location. This means that they have to be able to withstand that
transport.<blockquote>
For example, a traditional home structure is built
using 2" by 4" pieces of lumber for walls, but prefabricated structures
have to be 2" by 6" for additional strength.</blockquote>
</li>
<li>Since prefabricated homes are cheaper to own, first-time home buyers are able to own their dream home on a limited budget.</li>
<li>They allow buyers to have more options when choosing a design for the home.</li>
<li>Prefabricated homes appreciate in the same way traditional homes do allowing equity to grow.</li>
<li>They also offer "green" ideas. Many people are going green and a
modular home is extremely attractive because they can be placed at an
angle that can allow an extreme amount of natural sunlight.</li>
<li>These homes may be built faster, allowing families to move in sooner than traditional homes.</li>
<li>Many modular homes are very energy-efficient, which helps reduce your heating and cooling costs.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are just a few of the reasons that real estate
investors and first-time home buyers are turning to prefabricated homes.
There are several more reasons that this new trend is taking more of a
notice when it comes to real estate investing and I'm sure we will hear
or read more about it soon.</div>
</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The outlook for the real estate market in the United Arab
Emirates is much improved over that of the previous few years. Much of
this is due to all segments of the real estate market in Dubai currently
experiencing a recovery, to the extent that prime office rents are
rising for the first time since 2008. The bursting of the real estate
market bubble in 2008 dropped these prices in Dubai as much as 65%. In
order to avoid a repeat performance, the government is taking steps to
ensure that sustained growth is not over exuberant.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, up to
70% of property purchases are made in cash, which makes it difficult
for the government to regulate the market's growth. Experts remain
cautiously optimistic, as they watch Dubai's market making a broad
recovery; though regulations are not yet in place to avoid another
recession, they do not foresee a repeat of 2008 in the near future. Abu
Dhabi's real estate market, on the other hand, is estimated to be 18-24
months behind Dubai's market. Plans are now in the works that should see
Abu Dhabi experience a recovery on the scale of Dubai's sometime in
2014.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The real estate market is expected to continue its broad
recovery during the next few months and well into the rest of 2013,
though growth approaching an economic boom is not expected for this
year. Financial experts have identified seven major trends expected to
determine the UAE's market for the rest of 2013:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Dubai's
market will display a return of investor confidence. The Abu Dhabi
market, however, will not yet see a similar upturn. Factors driving
Dubai's market gains include the UAE's economic growth, increased
employment, safe haven status, improved pricing and rental performance,
multiple new real estate project announcements over the past six months,
and the UAE Central Bank setting new mortgage caps.</li>
<br />
<li>Several factors will limit the rate of development. Off-plan sales,
IPO bonds and bank loans barely support the current rate of growth. This
means most developmental funding will come from private money and
overseas cash investors.</li>
<br />
<li>Much of the foreign funding in 2013 is expected to come from Chinese and South Korean investors.</li>
<br />
<li>Increased supply in real estate will benefit buyers and tenants, but may offset the positive impact on the market.</li>
<br />
<li>2013 will see a greater concern for health and safety, with
occupants making demands and legislation ensuring the adoption of best
practices. This favors a best-value vs. lowest-cost approach to
investments.</li>
<br />
<li>Likewise, 2013 will likely see a greater focus on initiatives for sustainable, 'green' buildings.</li>
<br />
<li>UAE government will continue to influence the market's growth with initiatives such as mortgage caps, and stimulus packages.</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These
trends support the widely-held view that the UAE's real estate market
will see a broad recovery in 2013; a good, stable growth, that, if not
an economic boom, will not result in a dangerous market bubble like that
of 2008.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><strong>Analyzing the Market Statistics</strong></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Amidst
the lush green surroundings, Fort Collins provides families and couples
a wonderful locality to settle into. The real estate and value of
property was in a decline but gradually the prices have picked up again;
causing several sellers and buyers to enter the market. The Fort
Collins real estate market situation has also considerably improved
despite a continued presence of distressed properties. These distressed
properties are foreclosures and short sales. The overall Fort Collins
property market has increased slightly with a 1% increase since June
2013. The prospect buyers can either choose a condo/apartment or a
single family home for themselves. The market price of houses in Fort
Collins has a less dramatic real estate drop than other areas of the
state and country. This implies that the price of Fort Collins property
will also show lesser gradual recovery because of the lesser drop to
recover from initially. The current market statistics for Fort Collins
real estate are:</div>
<ul style="text-align: justify;">
<li>
Average Listing Price: $273,251</li>
<li>
Median Listing Price: $235,200, up 3% from 2010</li>
<li>
Current Inventory (properties/homes available): 1039 Listings</li>
<li>
Recently sold: 402</li>
<li>
New Listings: 488</li>
<li>
Distressed: 1</li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><strong>The right to invest is NOW </strong></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If
we observe the first half of 2011, we will notice that there have been
5,617 sales in that period which in comparison to 2010 were 5991. This
shows a 6% decrease in Fort Collins property sales. If we consider the
inflated sales due to the tax credit in the spring of 2010 then this
fall is instead a healthy improvement. Without such artificial
enticements, the market has remained strong and grown to almost equal
levels this year. The median listing price in Fort Collins went down
from June to July. There were a total of 28 price increases and 147
price decreases. The final conclusion is that it is a great time to
invest in Fort Collins property.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fort Collins real estate listings
are available online for buyers to browse through and hunt for houses
as per their requirements. These listings are constantly updated so that
any house up for the sale in the market is immediately added in the
database. The real estate market is always considered a buyer's market
especially after the aftermath of the national mortgage crash and the
economic turndown. If you are looking to buy property in Fort Collins
then you need to adjust your practices accordingly.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<u><strong>Buyers vs. Sellers </strong></u></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Thanks
to the improving situation in real estate, the buyer's market is now a
seller's market. According to the real estate experts, the shift of
market trends is a process that is caused by several buyers and sellers
when they are practically indulging in the buying and selling of
property. If you are hunting for a house then you should prequalify for
financing. It is most likely that you will be competing for same
property against people who have enough money in their hand. The Fort
Collins real estate market is fast-moving with sellers inclined to
accept an offer on the contingency that the buyer can round up the
necessary funds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have already made up your mind to purchase
a home then you should be willing to immediately put up an offer and
pay upfront because the house may not be available in the market for a
long-time. Experts say that the days of making low-ball offers are over
as low interest rates on home loans and pent-up demand are driving
speedy sales. The buyers who have been sitting on the fence for past
couple of years would be happy to know that Fort Collins real estate
market situation is constantly improving.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This statement is
further backed by the number of sales made during this year. Fort
Collins has not experienced valleys and peaks as dramatic as other areas
in the boom and bust times for the market. The last decade witnessed
loose lending practices to steer the mortgage industry off a cliff.
However, this time around, the real estate industry is all set on a
sustained rebound. Lenders are scrutinizing the prospective buyers while
the buyers are making more informed and practical choices. All these
factors contribute to the fact that real estate situation has picked up
and confirms to be a fast moving market for buyers and sellers. A laid
back attitude in making a valid offer for a house can end you up on
losing out on your dream house as there are plenty of buyers willing to
make viable offers to the sellers.</div>

As American and Canadian buyers become more interested in finding accessibly-priced real estate which has been developed showing respect for the area's natural surroundings and energy efficiency, Playa del Carmen Real Estate, together with the nearby Tulum Real Estate area have been making solid moves towards becoming some of the fore-running options in this growing market trend.<br />
<div id="chitikaSelectBeacon642" style="float: left;">
<iframe allowtransparency="allowTransparency" class="chitikaAdBlock" frameborder="0" height="100px" id="ch_ad_ctr642" marginheight="0" marginwidth="0" name="ch_ad_ctr642" scrolling="no" src="about:blank" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 0pt; padding: 0pt;" width="912px"></iframe></div>
For Playa del Carmen, several aspects, including hotels which have been built, and now, some that are fully operated on green and sustainable concepts, have been moving the area in this direction. Playa del Carmen MLS listings also show a variety of properties developed under principles of sustainability.<br />
A recent announcement also indicated that the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), regarded as the largest source of financing for development in Latin America and the Caribbean, offered Playa del Carmen's municipal government support in these efforts for sustainable development. On March 23, the bank presented a construction project for a green-focused housing development and a project for the use of LED streetlamps in the city, to save energy.<br />
The development itself, located on the Cancun-Playa del Carmen federal highway (km 310), with all basic services; while this development itself is geared more towards the local Mexican market, it is a reflection of the new tendency which is prevailing in the area, and has likewise been demonstrated (perhaps even more so) in the private developments geared towards Americans, Canadians and Europeans. The IBN projects come in addition to the ones the municipal government itself are moving forward in response to the growing demand for ecological responsibility, while the municipality still remains the fastest growing in Latin America.<br />
Just down the road in Tulum, the newly formed municipality has made a well-designed urban plan including natural reserve areas, intended to focus the new growth from expanding tourism and an upcoming international airport in a orderly, ecologically responsible and convenient city lay-out. This year's investment forum in Tulum will actually focus on sustainability as the defining point of drawing new investment and development to the area.<br />

But its fate changed with the boom of domestic oil industry in the United States. It is supposed that there is more oil deposited under the soil of the Vernal area than in the Middle East.</p><p>The United States has more than 2 trillion barrels of oil in its deposits and if brought to use then it could eliminate the dependence on oil from the Middle East, Africa and South America for hydrocarbon. The research has found that more than 70 percent of US oil reserves are in Green River Formation in Utah, Colorado and Wyoming. The Uintah County is also a part of Green River Formation so if oil production in the Green River Formation starts on large scale then the city of Vernal will grow at an immense rate. Some residents in the city have already experience the boom in the real estate industry and other major areas.</p><p>The recent data shows that the real estate prices for an average home in Vernal city was near $100,000 but now has increased to above $185,000. Moreover, the basic land price which was about $40,000 an acre has jumped up to the $70,000 range. This shows how the oil industry in Vernal is changing the economic structure of the city.</p><p>Unfortunately, it is not that easy to extract oil from the oil depositary of Vernal Utah area as the land is full of shale rock and extracting oil form these rocks can cost more than the average sale price. The average oil plumping cost in Middle East is averaged on $5 per barrel whereas in the Vernal Utah, it can reach up to $25 per barrel increasing the price for end user. But if, the price for oil is going to exceed in the way it is doing recently, then there will be time when the rigs in Vernal Utah might be economically feasible.</p><p>Big oil companies including Shell, Exxon and Chevron - Texaco have speculated the amount of oil deposit in this area and have started to invest heavily. Though the exploration of oil in and around Vernal and Utah State was done early 19th century but its commercial production stated only after 1925 when three companies namely Utah-Southern Oil Company, the Midwest Enterprises Company, and John Howard's Utah Oil Refining Company started digging oil in Utah. Vernal, Utah had its first oil boom only in 1948.</p><p>The booming oil industry has helped Vernal become popular hotspot for people looking to invest and live in this area. As the oil prices all over world increases, the new domestic oil industry in Vernal, Utah is going to change the perspective of people who highly depend on Middle east and other politically troubled countries for supplying oil to United States. Thanks to the oil boom Vernal city has been able to capitalize on its growth and welfare for its people.</p> </div>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-27549890931831611352012-09-15T08:40:00.003-07:002012-09-15T08:53:14.765-07:00Learn the Hottest Real Estate Markets Today<div style="text-align: justify;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhkHOEARJj5FvsrZxQFSiQx_YUwrv4x9C-41i9LB2J4RbdtDvLsaUnJtlKPeN_haq5qfSrPBrgW76E1ZTI6l0XzFKdDSCfonWI_BCkl6Tv7_TbC8OUSlORYDD33ACUjS_dkH2GORzFcZw/s1600/Hottest+Real+Estate.jpeg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjhkHOEARJj5FvsrZxQFSiQx_YUwrv4x9C-41i9LB2J4RbdtDvLsaUnJtlKPeN_haq5qfSrPBrgW76E1ZTI6l0XzFKdDSCfonWI_BCkl6Tv7_TbC8OUSlORYDD33ACUjS_dkH2GORzFcZw/s320/Hottest+Real+Estate.jpeg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5788429555253668162" border="0" /></a>Before, residential properties are very saleable. But now, selling a house is like right next to impossible. This is why other people, especially who are in the real estate industry, think if the market today is still burning hot like what they used to have in the past. Believe it or not, the market is not yet dying down. This may sound exaggerated since other countries could not relate. Their markets are slowly deteriorating. However, for some cities in US, signs of improvements are noticeable. You just have to be observant with the minor changes in the market today.</div><div style="float: left; text-align: justify;" id="chitikaSelectBeacon444">When you try to go over the current state of the real estate market, you would notice that indeed, it has improved. The unemployment rate has gradually gone down. Aspiring homeowners have now the confidence to avail home mortgages since they earn more. The number of foreclosed properties is slowly decreasing. Compared in the past, foreclosed houses are just anywhere and everywhere.<br /><br /></div><p style="text-align: justify;">You will notice that signs of hot markets in the real estate sector by looking at the small properties which are readily available for middle class income earners. These properties are made so they can have the chance to own a house even if they do not earn that much. The use of eco-friendly resources and promotion of green living are known for their tremendous effects on the lives of every homeowner. The major benefit from these is, they can save more from the expenses on basic commodities.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">People are beginning to love green living since they are not only saving more but it makes them healthier. If you try to look into modern homes, these houses are built from eco-friendly construction materials and the owners are also into green movement. Homeowners of these times are very concerned with their surroundings and thus they promote green lifestyle.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Another obvious signs of a hot market is the continuous construction of cheap houses. Although these properties are not that big, but they can actually provide shelter for a standard-sized family. These homes look simply and cozy. They do not need high maintenance in keeping the quality of the house. As long as the owners are responsible enough in taking good care of the property, then these cheap houses can last long like the high-end ones.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As for the renting aspect, renters have quickly increased their number.

Before that all real estate transactions were handled by bankers, attorney, and accountants. If someone was moving these were the people who knew about it first and made all of the arrangements. Even if you were relocating to a new city or state these people would call their connections in the new town and someone there would handle it for you.</p><div style="float: left;" id="chitikaSelectBeacon726">This all changed during the 1950's. Real estate offices began to open and real estate agents began to specialize in buying and selling real estate on someone else's behalf. These offices were small, with only two or three agents at the most. In the beginning only men performed the job of real estate agent.<br /><br /></div><p>As more real estate offices opened up it became necessary to divide the work into areas or territories. This became known as farming. The owner of each office would assign a farm to his agents and they worked in that neighborhood, helping the homeowners to list their homes and look for a new one.</p><p>This was accomplished by walking through the farm area regularly to speak with the homeowners and to introduce yourself to anyone who did not yet know you. The real estate agent would follow up with a phone call and then a letter or postcard. The agents would give small gifts to the homeowners at various times of the year. These gifts would have the name, address, and phone number of the agent and their office. This made it easy for the homeowners to call the agent without having to look up the number.</p><p>This practice continued well into the 1990's. At that time computers and other technology began to surface and suddenly it was possible to contact more people in less time, and for less money, than ever before.</p><p>Even with the new technology it is still a good idea to walk through your farm two or three times a year. This will help keep you informed of what is going on in this area and what needs the homeowners may have.</p> </div>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-57823418045531261352012-09-03T08:38:00.000-07:002012-09-15T08:39:47.013-07:00Real Estate Investing Produces Extraordinary Profits<div style="text-align: justify;" id="article-content"> <p>Imagine making $5000 a year from real estate investing without recognizing you are real estate investing!</p><div style="float: left;" id="chitikaSelectBeacon944">Real estate values are so dynamic. The marketplace is always fluid and changing. The only constant is the eventual escalation of value.<br /><br /></div><p>Suppose you had owned that little piece of property in your neighborhood years ago where McDonald's is located today. If you had owned it for 20 or 30 years, what would your profit be from that sale?</p><p>Real estate values fluctuate in cycles and according to a myriad of owner situations. However, the price of real estate almost always goes up.</p><p>Let me give you a real-life example. (And if you are old enough, you have your own similar story!)</p><p>In 1970 I bought a little house in the Green Hills section of Nashville for $27,000. You know it wasn't much because of the price. But it was home, and the location was respectable.</p><p>In 1978 I sold that house for a bigger house in Green Hills. The sales price for that little house I sold was $67,000.</p><p>That's when the light bulb went off in my head! I suddenly realized that I had profited $40,000 from that little house in only eight years. I hadn't added any more rooms or a patio. And I hadn't even painted. I was witnessing first-hand how property values increase, often drastically!</p><p>I made a $5000 profit per year from that house, just from living in it.</p><p>It was an amazing discovery to me. It had been a reality forever, but it was no longer a vicarious experience in my mind. It was alive, because it was happening to me. And it changed my view of the world. That personal experience led me to start a real estate investing career.</p><p>I still live in Green Hills, and I pass that house every day on the way to the post office. That house recently sold for $200,000. Same size. Same location. But a phenomenal increase in value.</p><p>Asset growth from $27,000 to $200,000 is pretty astounding. And while the asset growth ratio varies from property to property (and city to city), real estate values generally increase. Even owning and maintaining your personal residence is cash generation right under your nose. I can't believe I was so dumb not to see it before it became so apparent.</p><p>If even home ownership can be so profitable, can you fathom the profitability in real estate investing?</p> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Phil Speer, Ph.D., started his real estate investing career 25 years ago. Without the availability of credit and using only a $10 bill, he purchased $1 million in properties in his first year, and had accumulated $10 million in properties by his fourth year. He was featured in a Wall St.Journal editorial as most successful investor in the Nothing Down Real Estate Movement, and was honored with a Caribbean cruise as top investor of the year. In his hometown of Nashville, Tennessee, he has been a businessman and Human Resources Consultant for 30 years. </div>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-82296670707404982742012-08-12T23:19:00.002-07:002012-08-14T03:32:03.667-07:00How to Find the Best Austin Office Space for Your Business? <div style="text-align: justify;">Today, there are many people like purchasing real estate for various purposes.

Most are still wondering if the projections of a turn around in the current marketplace are just fiction or truth. Five steps forward and two back, then three forward and three back. So what is really going to drive value for the buyer to buy again? What does a buyer consider in today's economic climate for the decision to buy a home? Do they think of a home for their family in terms of how their parents looked at the purchase? Do they still think a home is the American Dream where investment returns will be offered in the 6-8% in annual growth patterns as in the past?</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The current climate offers a new sales technique for mortgage and real estate companies in moving property. The "short sale" market is of value to the investor, but counter productive for future community values. So, if you want to sell a home in this market, what are your options? The appraiser will always look at recent sales, and there have been several homes foreclosed and resold as short sales in your neighborhood. The bad thing is the family that wants to move across town into a nicer home, but the short sales will affect the value of their home dramatically. Appraisers will look at the most recent sales using the cost approach to determine value. This gives you only one real option to take less for your home, and hopefully buy a short sale across town if any are available. I mean why should we take such a loose; we were always on time with our mortgage and taxes, why are we being so affected by others hard times.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">So you don't sell, because you do not want to take such a loss and there are no foreclosures in the area you want to go. What do you do to build value for the future? What do you honestly think will help your home stand out in front of the others? What do you think a buyer is thinking about today? Low utility bills? Are they considering looking into solar or energy savings? Are they curious about green building and green renovation products? Here is an idea. Put $15,000 in energy efficient upgrades in your existing home, taking advantage of the tax incentives and rebates. Now, depending on the upgrades you have chosen, the property stands out in this development. With offering up to 65% lower energy bills alone a buyer desiring your neighborhood may lean towards your home even if there is a short sale for less money. The timing couldn't be better as most are curious on how to renovate to lower utility bills. Green renovations, can make a difference in real estate values. Using healthy materials and installing more high efficiency systems will making a difference in quality of life. While economic times are challenging those involved in the energy sector hold promise for growth. Our company, Green Real Estate Education is educating all sectors in the real estate industry to bring these points to those is there markets. Our educational programs are in demand even in these economic times.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Energy Efficient Homes and proper marketing especially if they offer the added benefit of being green certified properties are some of the most sought after residences and gaining strength daily. The entire building industry is changing towards sustainable and green techniques; it's about time we embrace the new green revolution.</p>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-84408839585735974522012-07-01T21:49:00.000-07:002012-07-10T21:50:15.909-07:00Green Real Estate - Interest Grows in California<p style="text-align: justify;">I grew up in North Hollywood, California. I remember attending Monlux elementary school in Van Nuys when "Ecology" became big news. That's 40+ years ago! Back then it was about recyling. We'd have huge newspaper drives to divert some of that trash for re-use. I didn't really understand what was happening back then but now I realize that I was witnessing the birth of something important. California really was the birthplace of the "Green" movement. Sometimes it seems like the rest of the country is just catching up. And now that we are reaching the onset of the economic recovery we are beginning to see emerging technologies leading the way, and in the forefront of these technologies will be the development of green building products and real estate practices. Nowhere in the United States are they more focused on developing environmentally responsible practices than in California. This focus will create a growing opportunity for green real estate in California that will be something people will want to be a part of in the years to come.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As a seller of homes or commercial properties, environmentally sound additions are always a major selling point. Being able to point out the smaller carbon footprint of one home compared to another will be a desirable feature to a homebuyer. Californians have led the way in developing green practices such as solar and wind generated power and energy saving building materials and techniques. Any property in California that can state the energy efficient inclusions in the home is far more likely to sell before homes that have no environmental awareness at all. Taking into account the importance of environmental responsibility is imperative if a seller wishes to be successful in the state of California.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As a buyer in California, green real estate is just another of the enormous number of incentives to purchase a home in 2010. As if the extraordinary home prices and interest rates together with the tax incentives to purchase a primary residence were not enough, there will now be added seller competitiveness to offer green options in the homes they are selling. The climate of environmental concern is prevalent in California. Many homes have either been built or retrofitted with more environmentally friendly features and products than in any other state. If the choice comes down to two homes in the same price range, it would make more sense for a buyer to purchase a home that will save them money continuously with the energy savings that are provided in a green home. With California's awareness of the need to become ecologically responsible, there is no reason for a buyer to choose a home that is not environmentally sound.</p>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-75986130993548170432012-06-26T21:50:00.000-07:002012-07-10T21:50:51.378-07:00American Companies Opting For Green Real Estate<p style="text-align: justify;">Regardless of the non-compliance with the Kyoto Protocol, the United States of America still helps Mother Nature by taking part in green real estate. This doesn't only mean an increase in the amount of construction supplies corporations with green friendly products, it also leads to foreign players having a piece of green properties.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">According to current real estate news, corporations such as Goldman Sachs, IBM Corp., Toyota Motor, and JPMorgan Chase have already made a move towards green friendly properties. Aside from that, there are other companies including Bank of America and Accenture are on its way to getting themselves their own buildings made using green materials. Whether through construction or leasing, said companies are determined to go green.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Maybe it is due to constant information dissemination regarding global warming as well as other environment-related dilemmas, green real estate is now becoming one of the fastest growing sectors of an already booming industry of commercial properties. Based on current market reports, approximately 5% of new commercial buildings all over the United States of America have attained the LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification just||as of the previous year. Approximately 10% more are to follow by next year. This statistic does not even include residential properties, that are also predicted to undergo a change.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In addition, the change is affecting not just with new buildings, but also in already existing buildings as well. Developers such as the Durst Organization as well as Hines are cutting half empty office buildings then placing them under renovation. Everything is altered according to eco-friendly standards. This is done to increase rent by 3% higher compared to the previous charge as well as amplify the property value by 7.5%.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Real estate news also notes that aside from a possible increase in rent, these are also utilized because they can save up to ten percent in utility spending each year. A number of the already existing green real estate use up forty-two percent less electricity and it also consumes 34% less water compared to traditionally constructed properties. More importantly, as innovation on sustainable materials keeps up, green constructions are predicted to be more cost-effective.</p>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-75417215324402198942012-06-16T21:50:00.000-07:002012-07-10T21:51:34.039-07:00Green Real Estate Is What Nature Desires Now<p style="text-align: justify;">From the dawn of the human civilization, the planet earth was subjected to a lot of pressure for providing various ways of dwelling for mankind and man, who have created a share of havoc on the various sources of natural resources that was made available for the vast human race. But now after so many years man has landed himself amidst a lot of problem by over-exploiting these natural resources. If these non-renewable resources actually start to deplete, there will be no turn around for the human race. Thus with the use of green real estates, it will completely be removed from the Earth's face.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">All our attempts and efforts to improve our different ways of living have left behind a carbon footprint. The event resulting in the emission of the accumulative green house gases is known as the carbon footprint. In spite of spending millions of dollars and hosting various researches's no process has been discovered to control this rapid decrement of the natural resources. At last one solution has been discovered that apart from being beautiful and cost effective, is also very eco-friendly. This is the art of living green. In order to compliment this green living extravaganza, many green real estates have been constructed throughout the planet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The construction of these green real estates is progressing keeping in mind the ultimate interest of the environment. Thus the major part of these materials that are being used for the construction is either obtained from razed buildings all around America or recycled substances. The constructions take place under strict vigilance so that the environment remains harmless. To minimize indoor pollution and its various causes, green flooring substances are being used. An ample supply of eco-friendly materials are being used fro the construction of these green real estates. One of the best options for this is bamboo floors. From the usage of recycled-content carpet to sustainable timbers, everything is eco-friendly. The different compounds that are used for this special purpose have low Volatile Organic Compounds that helps in the reduction of any little chance of the harmful emissions after the process of installation is completed. Other important options that are available include stone flooring, linoleum flooring, cork flooring and hard wood flooring. the installation of all these products not only helps u gain tax benefits and a better financing for your new home, it also meets all high standards of green living.</p><div style="text-align: justify;">The environment will highly benefit if the revolutionary idea of green real estates meets its desired success. If the environment benefits from anything, we also benefit. Residing in these green homes thus not only helps you and your environment benefit but it also gives you immense opportunity to save your hard earned money.</div>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-34513095523637188622012-05-11T21:51:00.000-07:002012-07-10T21:52:13.004-07:00Energy Efficient Homes and How to Write Articles on Green Real Estate Topics<p style="text-align: justify;">At the height of the real estate bubble it was amazing how many people were reading articles on real estate. It seems that every single person was in on the game; trying to flip houses, or buying the dream house they've always wanted at no money down. There was some talk of green real estate, alternative energy, solar panels, installation strategies, and LED lighting, but nothing like there is now after the housing burst.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Today, nearly all articles in the industry have a "green" slant to them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Whether this is good or bad, and I happen to think it is okay, is perhaps beside the point. Indeed, the reality is that it provides an excellent opportunity for online article authors, one which very few have really taken advantage of, but I think you should. You see, over the years I've written over 500 articles on alternative energy, green real-estate, and environmental issues. And mind you, I am in no way a staunch environmentalist.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nevertheless, I do get good feedback often as readers email me, thank me for my articles and information, and proceed to ask me other questions, which I in turn use as titles for new articles on the topic. What, I am trying to tell you is that you should be catering to this thirst for knowledge in green real-estate, and writing online content that satisfies the needs and desires of your future potential readers.</p>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1583026077992788746.post-17897076468808421142012-04-19T23:52:00.000-07:002012-07-10T21:52:52.831-07:00Green Real Estates Provide the Best Answer in the Conservation of the Eco-System<p style="text-align: justify;">There has been quite a fuss in the last decade or so with the rising temperatures of the world, which has led the protest movement against very big industrial buildings as well as those residential complexes that are building up with no regards to the environment whatsoever. This problem required a quick solution and that has been provided by the green real estates. These green homes are not only going to be your shelters, but they will also do their bit for the environment, for its protection and conservation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It is not that only the smaller towns in the United States of America are going green, so as to say. Even the big cities such as Chicago, New York have undertaken programs to promote <em>green living</em>, beginning with these green real estates. There are plenty of evidences that can be found all over the bigger cities that suggest that there is an increasingly growing trend in terms of building a green and sustainable living. Several elements of green are being incorporated into the building of newer structures such as condos, apartments and even houses. The individuals who already have a home are also making several positive changes that will be of benefit to the Earth and ensuring a lifestyle that is more conscious about the environment.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">When you <em>go green</em>, it is of course beneficial to the environment, it helps in the maintenance of the ecological balance in the Earth. Perhaps one of the worst kept secrets in the world is that the natural resources on Earth are almost on the brink of being completely depleted, and that too at a rate which is unsustainable and what is even more thought provoking is that whatever we decide to do seem to be leaving a <em>carbon footprint</em>. The demand on the ecosystem is, to some extent, relieved by the <em>green buildings</em> which utilize the recycled materials as well as the renewable resources, <em>green roofs</em> along with energy-conserving appliances. The environment friendly residences that are coming up with a tinge of green are making use of materials that are pleasant for the environment, which include <em>bamboo floors</em> (that are made from sustainable substances), re-using old building materials (which are, in most cases, salvaged from the buildings that have been taken down), <em>non-toxic paints</em>, which hardly cause any harm to the atmosphere and other such materials.</p>articleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08776214825498039094noreply@blogger.com1
