Many overseas property agents could will and should be excited by a new event announced this week. Global Edge have partnered with AiGroup — the Russian media company behind Russia’s biggest overseas property portal (1-property.ru) — to set up and host Russian Summit, a chance for the world’s overseas property agents to learn about the Russian market, and importantly to gain contacts that will refer business in a mutually beneficial arrangement. It could well become known as an important event for the industry.
The collapse of British demand for overseas property crippled many markets, not least Dubai, Cyprus and of course Spain. The latter split into regions gives even more locations that felt the severe pain of the British-buyer exodus.
Even now demand from British buyers is at nowhere near the same levels as seen in the run up to the 2008 crash, and of the overseas property markets that are leading the recovery, Russian buyers is a common phrase that we are hearing.
Of course Russian buyers are no new phenomenon. They became a big and growingly important market in the overseas property world towards the latter part of 2007 and into 2008.

The property industry’s annual backslapper MIPIM was more about building contacts than projects this year.
Since last year’s event, property prices have gone down quicker than a bottle of bubbly in a room full of freeloaders, leaving the delegates little to do other than bask in the Cannes sunshine and title-tattle over their predictions for the coming year.

Cityscape Dubai, the biggest real estate investment and development event in the world has opened its doors today as fears of a new kind strike this emirate. Not so long ago Dubai was celebrated as the golden child of real estate with fortunes being made and a mad building boom attracting thousands of overseas investors to take part in the property stakes.
As the US and European credit crunch turns more worrying by the day, fears are now circulating that Dubai might be next to suffer the consequences. Not much pointed investors to this new turn of events as in the first quarter, Dubai’s housing market was still a very strong performer with a 43% rise.

We stumbled on this via ActiveRain; it is a mention of ways American and International property agents can market to Russian buyers (who seem to be buying up the whole world at the moment).

Here are the top Russian International Property Exhibitions:
One of the ways to market and sell your real estate to Russian buyers, is participation in International Real Estate Exhibitions in Russia. They happen in Moscow and St. Petersburg several times a year and are getting more and more interest on the part of foreign exhibitors and Russian public.

Even for us, it is sometimes difficult to sort the informational wheat from the chaff and we are looking at conflicting reports coming from the Indian property markets at the moment.
On the one hand, its all good news: Mumbai Billionaire Mukesh Ambani is busy creating what is likely to be the “most expensive home” in the world. The Financial Times is reporting that “property prices have soared” and the Indian Government has now allowed direct foreign investment in all construction projects without prior approval, which means foreign investors are permitted to invest in wholly owned subsidiaries or in joint ventures with Indian real estate companies. There are a few minimum requirements, such as minimum capitalization requirements must be met within six months of the commencement of operations and the capital must remain locked in for three years thereafter. Foreign-invested projects must include at least 50,000 square meters of floor space and at least half the project must be completed within five years of receiving statutory clearance.
