Europe real estate advices? Liveio.com is a new real estate portal focused at helping real estate agents and individuals to buy real estate properties in EU. We will also discuss about some real estate market recommendations combined with some analysis of 2019-2020 real estate market trends in Europe.
Whatever real estate professionals do right now should be flexible enough to cope with a 10 years period. To do that, it is vital to be aware of some trends that revolve around the growing of the population, it’s ageing, housing shortage, structural oversupply in retail property, a younger generation that is completely digitally enabled. We will have to be much quicker in evolving our product. The future will be much more about mixed-use communities. Before the economic crisis, there were more companies ready to build properties. Nowadays the demand for new properties is higher than the offer, and building costs are also on the rise. If before the higher construction costs were naturally compensated by a yield compression (with a higher sales pricing), this might not be the case anymore. So watch out!
What kinds of returns can European real estate investors expect? In the core markets of Europe, returns are expected to be positive but on the low side. You may not make 10–15% a year, but you might have a few percent a year cash return. In reality, the focus of investors should be on cash, not on capital gains, because core residential markets are already expensive. But if you were to buy in markets with more troubled recent histories such as Spain (though recovering very rapidly) or Greece, you may have a chance of making capital gains if the economies continue to improve. Even if interest rates were to later rise, your cost of borrowing would be fixed. Additionally, if inflation rises, your cost of borrowing stays capped while your rental income can potentially rise in line with inflation; this is how real estate investors can make money in the future. When financing your real estate, it should be done at fixed rates. Buyers shouldn’t consider financing at floating rates, because besides being dangerous, with interest rates so low, why consider a floating rate? This is no longer necessary.

Now let’s talk about several real estate tricks for sellers: Book a photographer! A photographer can provide you with a great selection of high-quality photos; just make sure the one you pick shares your vision. The devil is in the details, so make sure all lights and televisions are on, and all wires are hidden. People are much more likely to buy a house when it looks absolutely perfect. Use the MLS wisely: MLSs are invaluable to the selling process. People often search for specific criteria (e.g. parking), so be honest and extremely thorough because people will call you out on misrepresentations. Take time to upload beautiful photos, and keep in mind that listings with over six pictures are viewed twice as often as those with less. Also be sure to respond instantly whenever you can.
Why settle for a platform that are just mainly constructed for the private buyer? Why not also design a service that include all partys at the negotiation table? And while we’re at it – why make distinction between the market place for selling and renting out? Liveio is a platform equally designed to meet the needs of the professional broker as the house hunting private individual. Motivated by the notion that the boundaries are nonexistent we added the opportunity for agents to pinpoint and establish contact with the right clients for the real-estate in question.
