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

This is definitely a sign of the growing economy because over the past 18 months, home prices have increased 42%. As economic forecasters worry this may create another housing bubble, homeowners who have been waiting to sell are wasting no time.

Dubai One Year On from the Credit Crunch and the Bubble Burst

For quite some time during the real estate bubble and its subsequent burst, buyers had control over real estate transfers. Sellers were willing to accept anything reasonable, as generally they wanted out of their commitment to their home before prices dropped even further. This is no longer the case. Sellers are once again in control, enforcing their asking prices and willing to hold out until the best offer comes along.

During the most recent housing market crash, foreclosures, short sales, and tougher lending policies, it has been evident that some areas in the country are recovering quicker than others. The real estate bubble and subsequent burst seems to have moved in waves, the southeast being hit the hardest at one point, but now showing definite signs of improvement.
