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.

Doing a static business in today's cut throat competition is like living on the edge of a mountain. One miscalculated step, and everything would go down the cliff. Technologies to techniques, everything is changing the speed never even wondered and thus everyone has to be on their toes to quickly adapt and get going with the change. With a tremendous roar happening around Business process improvement, there are many theories and concepts being constantly adapted, molded and remolded.One concept which works well for one enterprise may just flip another enterprises and bring nothing good out of it. It is therefore very essential to understand each concept and choosing the best one to incorporate in your business. There are two basic concepts which are used interchangeably by everyone but have a huge difference in terms of their application. Two such concepts are: Business Process Management and Business Process Re-engineering. Let's first begin by understanding the two concepts. Business process management is described as a process and management discipline that analyzes, implements, documents, monitors, controls and sometimes redesigns the business processes. On the other hand, Business Process Re-engineering is a "radical approach" to current business process. Business process reengineering necessarily means replacing the existing system. Business process re-engineering does not prophesize on documenting or implementing certain changes in the existing business processes. It only takes into consideration the input and the desired output and comes up with an efficient process to achieve the aim. Business Process Management can be looked at as a soft approach which considers the current processes, and believes in flexibility. However, the business process reengineering strives to create a perfect process from scratch and lays emphasis on replacing manual labor by automation. Business Process Management is a continual process which aims at attaining efficiency throug

Awareness of Business Process Management is spreading like fire. Everyone is talking about bringing about change in their business Processes either to sustain the business or to book their profits. Considering the increasing interest in improving Business Process, there are a lot of agencies which have created a business out of it. Many agencies have come up with a variety of plans which claim to improve the business processes and bring about the desired change in the company's existing performance through efficient business processes. There are different schemes that these companies come up with, business process consultancy, project based business process management, business process outsourcing, and many other luring terms. These plans offered may seem promising and potent, but there are many flaws that these companies generally have. Of all the schemes, the most insisted scheme is Business Process outsourcing. As easy and convenient outsourcing of Business Process may sound, it has potential to many threats. Here are a few insights on BPM Outsourcing that explain how it will not benefit your company: 1. Integral to Business: A business process is never one that fits all. Each organization is unique and has its own way of functioning. In fact the uniqueness in these processes is the one that makes each enterprise different from the other. If business processes are outsourced, the uniqueness will have no meaning. 2. Confidentiality: In the cut throat competition where all the businesses procure at the same rate as well as all the products are priced at the same rate. The difference in profit margins is due to the difference in business processes of organizations. The cost cutting, and cost saving all are the outcomes of efficient business processes. No organization would want to make their profit earning secrets public. Outsourcing BPM means relieving all your business secrets to an outsider, making your ideas public! 3. Involvement: Any agency that offers Busin

Real Estate Search Engine Marketing Options inShare Real Estate Search Engine Marketing: Options for Real Estate Agents Using search engines has become one of the most popular activities on the Internet, second only to email. But with millions of websites and billions of web pages, potential homebuyers need a tool that can sift through this clutter to find the realtor websites relevant to their search. Thanks mostly to the techniques pioneered by Google, search engines have become remarkably effective at providing results that are highly relevant to the term or phrase the user searches on like Homes for Sale. But to be relevant, you have to be found, and this is where search engine marketing comes in. What is Real Estate Search Engine Marketing? You may have great inventory, a fantastic local clientele, and a high-end new website, but if that website doesn't show up on the first two pages of Google (or Yahoo, MSN, or Ask Jeeves), you're not getting the exposure you need to remain competitive. Why aren't you showing up? You may have overlooked Real Estate Search Engine Marketing. Effective search engine marketing is about more than just optimizing your website or submitting it to the search engines for indexing. When hundreds or thousands of your competitors are competing with you on your service and keywords, just one Internet marketing technique won't give you high rankings. Studies have proven what most Internet users know already - people usually do not look past the first two pages of search results. And with over 71% of homebuyers initiating their home search on the Internet (according to the National Association of Realtors), you can't afford to miss out on all of those active buyers. And if your site isn't ranked high, it probably isn't pulling in leads either - leads that translate to more sales and more commissions. How does it work? Unlike organic search engine optimization, which you (or your webmasters) can do yourself, Real

According to Richard Gibbs of Macquarie Securities reduced crude prices goes in favour of the Indian economy and gives RBI a scope for monetary accommodation Richard Gibbs Global HD, Macquarie More about the Expert Richard Gibbs, Global Head of Macquarie Securities is upbeat on India because he thinks there is room for structural expansion and the demand is much better than anywhere else in the world. According to him reduced crude prices goes in favour of the Indian economy and gives RBI a scope for monetary accommodation. It is also likely to produce some tailwind for the global economy. "It certainly provides latitude on the trade side but also in terms of the inflation side for the economy as well." The house remains a buyer on India. What is the sense you are getting. Are we now facing a fairly big challenge to global growth and therefore are risk assets going to head lower? A: I think the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is articulating that fairly well as we move into the IMF World Bank annual meeting in the next few days. It really is a case where the US is I suppose the best if you see IMF's parlance and that's for investors who have been searching for growth is a disappointment. So, now I suspect we are going to have people turning back towards in search for yield and that has become difficult as well with the expansion in quantitative easing measures around the world but most particularly by the European Central Bank of course. At the end of the day lower crude prices are probably growth positive and the issue there is whether they pertaining further disinflationary pressure/deflationary pressure in the major economies. Certainly for an economy like India, cooling in crude prices is a positive. It certainly provides latitude on the trade side but also in terms of the inflation side for the economy as well. It's a bit of a two-edged sword as I suppose in that sense but overall lower crude prices are likely to produce some tailwind for the global eco
