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

As the year draws to a close, many people in the real estate start thinking about their tax preparation and returns. Here are a few real estate-related tax deductions to remember when you're meeting with your accountant or preparing your return: 1. Mortgage interest - self explanatory 2. Settlement costs - origination points, title fees, appraisal costs, etc 3. Depreciation - a lot of people miss this one. Can get a little complicated, but generally speaking you can deduct a "depreciation in value" from your original purchase price, as if the property were to steadily drop to no value over the course of 27.5 years. 4. Maintenance & repairs - this can also get a little hairy, as not all repairs can be deducted, but basically any work done to make your rental property "properly habitable" can be deducted. 5. Property management costs - whether a monthly percentage of rental income or singular fees for tenant placement 6. Property taxes 7. PMI This list is in no way exhaustive, so speak to a real estate tax accountant, but don't pay one cent more than what's necessary to support Uncle Sam's spending habit! Uncle Sam's like a teenage daughter with her father's credit card... don't encourage him! Thanks http://www.clvgroup.com/
