Bubble trouble in Brazil Property prices are skyrocketing in Brazil. The construction sector is booming. And the mortgage market is expanding rapidly. But there is a growing concern that all this is unsustainable. And imbalances in the economy - an overvalued currency and high inflation - are exacerbating the dangers of the looming credit and property bubble. The average asking prices of new apartments across the country soared by 24.7% in April 2011 from a year earlier, according to Exame Magazine (using data from Ibope Intelligence, the largest Brazilian market intelligence firm). Based on the Ibope Intelligence figures, in April 2011:       *In Ipanema, Rio de Janeiro's most expensive district, the average price of        new properties rose 36% y-o-y to BRL13,031 (US$8,212) per sq. m., while the        price of existing properties increased 25% y-o-y to BRL12,134 (US$7,646)        per sq. m.       *In Jardim Paulista, Sao Paolo's most expensive district, the average price        of new properties rose 39% y-o-y to BRL9,120 per sq. m (US$5,747); the        average price of existing properties escalated 49% y-o-y to BRL6,959        (US$4,385) per sq. m. The FIPE ZAP Index of Dwelling Price Offers shows Sao Paolo dwelling prices up 25.9% during the year to April 2011, and up 83.7% over the past 3 years. In just two years (2008-2010), the average selling price of new one-bedroom apartments in São Paulo almost doubled. Newly launched two to four-bedroom apartments increased in value by between 40% and 60% over the same period, according to Embraesp, a local real estate research firm. Looking longer term, from 1996 to 2010, prices of newly launched apartments in São Paolo rose by almost 229% (131.6% in real terms), according to Embraesp, as the accompanying graph shows. For all years since 1996 price rises have been strongly positive, except in 2007, when house prices dropped slightly due

China is going to have a collapse soon. In the last ten years the new construction market has grown at 30% per yer. Its being supported by government paying for massive new real estate development.

Ankit Vista is just 39 km away from Bangalore CBD and is just 30 mins from Bangalore International Airport.

A green, environment friendly project, Ankith Vista is planned on a 15 acre property, with plots ranging from 5500sq.ft to 11000 Sq.Ft. It spread over on 15 acres of land.

CBRE's Q1 2013 Phuket Residential MarketView showed there was positive momentum in the Phuket property market. International passenger arrivals at Phuket International Airport increased by 23% Y-o-Y from Q1 2012 and 36% Y-o-Y from Q1 2011, according to the Airports of Thailand Public Company Limited (AOT). The resort condominium market continues to improve with better sales volume and a higher price per sq.m. based principally on smaller units and cheaper total unit prices.phuketResidential In Q1 2013, there were six new condominium and apartment projects launched; Baan Mai Khao (Sansiri), Amari Residences, Laguna Shores Phase 2 (Laguna Resorts and Hotels), Oceana Condominium, The Emerald Terrace, and Shivalai. They were all on the West Coast with either sea views or beach proximity. Most of these projects are Luxury and High-end (prices above THB 90,000 per sq.m.)
