Europe real estate market guides

Europe real estate market guides? Liveio.com is a hot real estate portal specialized at helping real estate agents and individuals to sell real estate properties in EU. We will also discuss about several real estate market tricks mixed with some analysis of 2019-2020 real estate market trends in EU.

With the growing interest of international investors in Europe, real estate professionals are now displaying more concerns about property availability and pricing. Even though almost 50% of the interviewees on PWC Report, expect the availability of assets to decrease and get worse in the next 5 years, the relationship between availability and pricing are tempered by the belief that the industry is in a good position and the financial background is generally positive. Diversify your properties: Real estate professionals have to keep an eye on new opportunities that are also arising. Some investors are now moving into alternative or niche areas, like student housing, retirement living, etc. This is a big market that is starting shy but will continue to grow. When it comes to space changes, we have to keep an eye on another trend. The “moto” work, play, is giving rise to a reinvention of lobby space and common areas. Let’s not forget about co-working spaces that are on the rise. Even though the residential sector will be in the spotlight, logistics and niche sectors such flexible offices and co-working spaces, are becoming more sexy.

The commercial market is similar: either you buy in the established office and retail markets and expect a cash return of around 4–6% with limited capital gains, or you buy in recovering markets. This might include southern and central Europe, perhaps Ireland and Central Europe, and the more regional cities in European countries; and the returns could be higher though with much higher risks. The euro is currently fairly stable, 1.12 against the pound and 0.90 against the dollar as of July 2019. Properties in many countries are still essentially cheaper for foreigners, and investors could benefit if the euro suddenly strengthens. European real estate is in extremely high demand, and it’s an interesting asset class. Still, investors should not overestimate their return expectations, they should ‘be realistic and carry on’, as I like to say. Discover more info Buy Real Estate in Europe.

Now let’s discuss about a few real estate advices for sellers: Talk to strangers! I know you were told not to do this when you were a kid, but real estate is another ballgame. You have to come out of your shell and talk to friends and neighbors of the owners, and anyone else who’ll listen. Talk to your own friends and neighbors about it, too; the more you talk about the listing, the more interest it will generate. Your mouth is your best weapon, so use it wisely. Remember to always be kind, polite and professional. Visit rival agents’ offices: Don’t think of it as fraternizing with the competition; think of it as visiting friends from another firm. Invite them for coffee and a chat. Talking business with other real estate agents can lead to referrals and sales for everyone.

Why Liveio? A complete marketplace to find and advertise property online. The idea behind Liveio was formed around a big gap in the market. We, the Swedish founders of the service, couldn’t find a smart and innovative platform around that gave the user the opportunity to browse and compare properties in different countries. There existed national alternatives, but not really a online plattform that were able to integrate real-estate markets in the whole of Europe. After a couple intense months of developing we can now proudly present the smoothest and most comprehensive way to buy, sell and rent property. Source: www.liveio.com.
