Czechs actively buy real estate abroad due to lower prices
Every year, more Czechs prefer to purchase real estate abroad, especially in coastal areas. The most popular destinations are Spain, Croatia, and Italy. Real estate in these countries, as well as in Austria, is often cheaper than in the Czech Republic. According to banks, the average mortgage amount for such properties is around 3.5 million CZK.
Unaffordable housing prices in the Czech Republic drive many Czechs to look for property abroad, where the costs are often significantly lower. Czechs can take advantage of local bank products to buy their dream house or apartment...
The recent increase in capital gains taxes announced in the new budget has caused significant concern among many who consider themselves middle class. This reaction reflects a misunderstanding of how the class structure in Canadian society has shifted due to changes in the housing market.
Owning a house or investment property is no longer a middle-class reality. In a country where renting and homeownership are now significantly more expensive for young people than it was for their parents, such ownership has become a sign of affluence.
The government sees increasing taxes on secondary properties as the only way to protect young Canadians in the housing market and to address the revenue shortfall it has created...
Real estate in Ternopil is more affordable than in neighboring regional centers due to high competition among local developers and a significant number of new residential complexes under construction. This allows Ternopil to surpass its neighbors in terms of price accessibility.
According to Maria Lypka, head of the sales department at PrestigeBud: “In Ternopil, construction is reliable and of high quality, and there is a lot of it. In Rivne, Lutsk, Chernivtsi, for example, there are half as many new buildings! Currently, the demand for housing in Western Ukraine has significantly increased, leading to a significant rise in prices per square meter in many cities. Ternopil, on the other hand, offers affordable prices...
The Canadian real estate market typically picks up in spring, peaking in late April and early May. However, this year the market remains sluggish, awaiting economic recovery. Expected interest rate cuts in June could stimulate the market.
According to the latest data from the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), April sales were down 1.7% compared to the previous month. Monthly home sales have been below the 10-year average since early 2022, when the Bank of Canada began raising rates.
The decline in sales coincided with an increase in listings. CREA reported a nearly 3% increase in new listings across Canada. In Toronto, new listings in April rose 47.2% compared to the same month last year...
The German real estate market has witnessed a sharp decline in foreign investments, reaching their lowest level since 2013. This drop highlights the ongoing economic challenges and uncertainties impacting the sector.
Data from BNP Paribas Real Estate reveal that in the first quarter of 2024, foreign investors accounted for just 35% of commercial property transactions. This marks a significant decrease from previous years and aligns with a broader trend of declining sales volumes, which have fallen by 70% compared to pre-pandemic levels in 2020-2021.
Commercial property prices have also been affected, with a further decline of 9.6% in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period last year. This follows a 10...
