According to Miel-DPM demand leader - property in Italy

Analysts company "MIEL Distant Property Management» summed up the results of 2010 on the international real estate markets. The main trends of the last year they thought were the increase in the average value of the transaction and the total volume of transactions, as well as the shift of interest of Russians to the European markets more stable and reducing the volume of investment transactions. So, if there was Bulgaria (60% and 32% respectively) in 2008 and 2009, the leading country in the number of transactions in 2010 took the palm Italy (35% of transactions). The decline in interest has occurred and to the popular once-Montenegro. In 2008, 12% of transactions accounted for property of this country, up to 30% in 2009, increased the share of transactions. However, demand fell sharply in 2010, not exceeding 1.5%, which is likely due to the volatility of this market during the crisis. The combined share of transactions with real estate in Western Europe amounted to 64% at the end of last year. In addition to Italy, the Russians have bought property in European countries such as the Czech Republic (9%), Spain (8%), Germany (7%), the UK (5%). One of the leaders of the United States began in the number of completed transactions (New York). Demand for property in this country in 2010 amounted to 12% of the total. "Interest in real estate in New York due to the fact that such a reduction was not the cost of real estate in this region for the past 10 years" - said Natalia Zavalishin, CEO "MIEL-DPM». On increase of investments in foreign real estate could indicate growth in average transaction value. If in 2008 it was 175 000 euros, and in 2009 - 220 000 euros, last year the average price was 285,085 euros. Whiter than 2-fold increased and the minimum transaction amount - from 33 000 euros (studio in Egypt) in 2009 to 83 000 euros (1 bedroom apartment in Italy) in 2010. At the same time, Russians have become less consider overseas property as an investment. Compared with 2009, when 80% of a particular type of property acquired for leisure or investment, their number decreased to 60% in 2010. Our fellow citizens are also interested in the purchase of real estate for a residence permit or permanent residence (12%), children's education (15%) and business (10%). According to forecasts by Natalia Zavalishin, this year will most likely increase the demand for real estate in the country, providing additional features (residence permit, permanent residence, etc.), and the stability of the country, where the market has not undergone drastic changes due to the crisis. Among them - the Czech Republic, Latvia and Slovenia. According to "Miel Distant Property Management»
