Another 25% are looking to find equal or larger homes

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2013 -- A new report from the Royal LePage has dispelled the notion that most baby boomers are seeking downsizing of their property into smaller housing.

The real estate firm has stated that the recent Leger Marketing poll took in over 1,011 Canadian boomers, and found that 59.1% plan to remain in their current housing.

The 40.1% plan to move, but half said they will be seeking out homes that are similar in size or bigger than their current residency.

"This study clearly indicates that contrary to popular belief, most boomers do not intend to downsize any time soon," said Royal LePage Real Estate CEO Phil Soper.

There are a number of reasons for that, he said. For starters, boomers are the wealthiest generation in Canadian history and many of them need lots of room for their many possessions.

"They love their garages and their yards," he said.

A further reason that they are thinking that bigger is a better move is that some still have adult children living at home. Leger Marketing polled 1,013 Generation Y Canadians, which showed that just over a third of them from the Prairie region live with their parents or friends rent-free. In Quebec and Ontario the totals were 30% and 27% respectively.

"The adult children of baby boomers aren&apost going anywhere fast," Soper said. "Good jobs have proven difficult for them to find, they&aposre extending their studies and they&aposre living at home. It&aposs is no wonder the concept of swapping a family-sized home for a small retreat has lost its lustre."

Rick Preson of Royal LePage Dynamic Real Estate Services stated that “the boomerang factor” was part of the reason for so many living at home. The factor takes into account those who moved away from home, only to move back or forced them to live with roommates. Preson noted that younger boomers are still in their early 40s and so still have school-age children, making it less likely for general downsizing.

Energy efficacy most important, while elevators rarely wanted at all

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2013 -- Amidst the housing downturn in the previous half-decade, many were affected by not only the number of new homes built, but the general characteristics, features, and size of the ones being created. Builders and other industry workers now have found the opportunity to find what home buyers truly want, and not simply give up in the market, as the industry is seeing a slight upturn. Many are now seeing features they are ready to leave behind in light or economic realities with publication of the National Association of Home Builders.

The NAHB&aposs publishing bodyBuilder Books, has released a report on “What Home Buyers Really Want. Within the study, there is outlines for home buyers&apos preferences in regards to the home type, as well as size. Items like layout, design, kitchen and bath designs, window and door options, as well as outdoor features and accessibility, electronics and technology, as well as energy efficient options are all noted within the report.

The study was held by the NAHB&aposs Economic and Housing Policy Group in 2012, and was based on surveys taken of homeowners nationwide.

“This survey is a great resource for building professionals, as it provides an inside look at the things home buyers really want or don’t want in their homes,” said Rose Quint, NAHB’s Assistant Vice President for Survey Research, and one of the study’s authors. “With the housing market beginning to recover, and more consumers in the position to purchase a home, it is more important than ever for builders to be armed with this information.”

Of the most wanted features include energy efficiency designs and implementations, with 90% of buyers noting they were rather live in an energy efficient home. Prospective buyers also want organization and proper storage options, with a large majority wishing for a laundry room, a linen closet, as well as bath and garage storage. Many also noted they wished for a walk-in pantry.

The least wanted items were unnecessary lavishness, including elevators, high-density communities or golf-course homes, as well as shower stalls without tubs in the master bathroom.

After crisis through the late 90s and early 00s, Indonesia looking strong

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2013 -- Price Waterhouse Coopers and the Urban Land Institute stated that Jakarta, Indonesia is the top property market in the Asia Pacific region. The announcement came in November of 2012, and the market is proving them right.

The change happened suddenly, thanks in no small part to the difficulties that have been felt across the globe in other major markets. The fundamentals of supply and demand also play an important role as well. The office market in Jakarta is seeing an almost dumbfounding level of boom, with 94% occupancy, which spurs more interest in further office space. A grade space is now 98% filled to capacity.

The boom is an almost unheard of trend of building simply not being built fast enough to deal with the demand, causing shortages on space. That fact results in a 36% rental growth year-on-year.

The industrial land that is considered prime is also seeing a jump of 65% year-on-year prices, as the need for manufacturing and distribution space has reached a fever pitch. The expansion of such space cannot keep up with how fast companies are gobbling up land, and thus the rise in price continues.

Jakarta experienced its highest clearance rates in 2012, with 12,700 units. The middle and lower markets, as well as upper-class apartment market were all seen to be performing very well. Prices moved up as the need for residential housing property continued to encourage more and more development.

What caused this boom? To understand it, one must look to the financial crisis of 1997 and 1998, which continued to burden local and international businesses within the provinces. It took almost a full decade for trust to return to the region, but with a government overhaul, the economic potential of the country got back on track. With an almost wholly transparent economic system, the country saw continued benefit from international investors, who now are less inclined to play the wait-and-see game.

Local buyers are also an important ingredient to the country&aposs success, as they continue to drive the economy forward. Further growth is predicted thanks to both factors.

Analyst say overall rise is to be expected

San Francisco, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2013 -- Developers in China have seen their shares fall over the week based upon worries of the impact of government measures to take control of housing prices.

The announcement was made last week, and homeowners who sell properties will now have to pay a capital gains tax of 20% of profits, according to the State Council stated last week.

China had previously taxed homeowners only a 1% to 2% of the sales price.

The government has ordered the central bank to raise the down-payments for mortgage lending rates for the buyers of secondary or tertiary homes in particular cities. The government also told local governments to begin limiting the non-residents that are buying homes, keeping them to no more than a single home.

In 2011, the State Council established a minimum down-payment for the second home at 60% of the purchase price as part of the earlier effort to control property prices in general. That issue has become a sensitive one in China, and the authorities have looked to control them over the previous three years, creating measured that include restriction on extra housing purchases, as well as higher minimum down-payments and taxes in cities on multiple non-locally owned residences.

For Ply Real Estates Shares, developer Gemdale plunged by nearly double-digits, and analysts state the new measure have likely dampened sentiment toward the sector. The analyst hope it is a short term turn, but overall they believe homes will take an upward turn in the long-run and overall.

“Such policies will always have a temporary, noisy, and negative impact,” said Liu Ligang, an economist for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group in Hong Kong.

“However, they will not have much lasting impact... long-term demand will not suddenly disappear,” he said in a research note, citing China’s continuing urbanization.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/08/2013 -- The Jill Penman Group, a South Florida realty group specializing in Coconut Grove Real Estate, has achieved a milestone with one of its unique lifestyles video. The video, centered on one of their listings, has reached 1,000 views on the company’s YouTube Channel. This would be considered a significant accomplishment by marketing analysts, given the difficulty of attracting views in the heavily saturated real estate market.

The video focused on 3098 Blaine St, located in Coconut Grove. The professionally-made production provides a unique perspective into the amenities, features, and interior of the home. Aside from showcasing the property’s qualities and characteristics, the video also highlights the lifestyle of Coconut Grove, such as the recreational and leisurely activities of CocoWalk. The video is a part of the Jill Penman Group’s explicit goal of assisting clients in understanding Miami properties, communities, and living standards. Anecdotal evidence suggests that the use of videos is an innovative approach in this regard.

Notably, the property featured in the video closed shortly after it was launched, on February 15. Sold for $795,000, it was subsequently the highest sold townhome in central Coconut Grove Real Estate since 2006. The property came under contract comparatively quickly, after 19 days on the market. The home’s purchasers were reported to have interviewed 14 real estate agents before selecting Jill Penman. Arguably, the well-circulated video may have influenced this achievement.

As demonstrated in the video, the home on 3098 Blaine St had been fully renovated and was identified by industry analysts as being comparable to a multi-million dollar residence. Its amenities included copper glass beaded wall tiling, golden pearl wall coverings, palm Donghia and silk wall coverings, and an open floor plan that displays saturnia marble and Brazilian cherry hardwood flooring. It also features high-quality granite, millwork, and custom-built furnishings (such as floating shelves).

The well-known website on home swapyourhome.net discusses the advantages of going on a vacation through home exchange.

Bellentre, France -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/11/2013 -- The boom in home swap websites is inevitable. As more and more people find ways to avoid paying high hotel costs and saving upon vacations, the idea of swapping homes has become more attractive. Imagine yourself going to France without having to shell a dime for accommodation? Or choose homestay and pay a little? Vacationing has indeed taken a different turn and a lot of folks are warming up to the concept shown in the famous film The Holiday.

So what is exactly home swapping? It means opening your doors to people from around the world in exchange for you living in their abodes as well. It doesn’t matter where you are or where they are, the exchange is always possible.

Some people shun this idea but a lot more have realized that home swapping is a great way to travel and see the world from a different perspective. Second generation home swapper Jenny L. grew up vacationing in different parts of the globe with her parents. She says, “I love travelling through home swapping. I find it more enjoyable than staying in hotels. Home swapping allows me to experience the lifestyle of the place and enjoy the community and the people. Biking around a quaint city in France is a priceless experience.”

The business world has recognized the home exchanged concept such as echange maison france, as one of the great money saving tips in this time of economic crisis. Romain Arpin, founder of Swapyourhome.net, explains, “Imagine yourself enjoying free vacations for life. Isn’t it more than winning the grand lottery? At SwapYourHome, you save lots of money on your holidays. Instead of paying for expensive hotel rooms, you stay in a wonderful and comfy home.

Moreover, you can enjoy the place like a local.” The internet has made home exchange easy and people can get all the information they need before deciding on a place. One can always find an article on home exchange on the net as well. But although this information can be accessed through the websites, talking to the owner is still a good idea to establish a sense of link. Home exchange is about trust as well since you will be allowing people into your abode without you being there.

About SwapYourHome
SwapYourHome at swapyourhome.net is a community of people who has opened their doors for swap home fellows. Members wanting to go vacationing anywhere in the world can exchange homes for free or pay little for homestay.

Homeowners adding to their homes can easily include accessibility features when they expand their homes, says Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami. Certain features in entryways, doors, door handles and surfaces can make a home more functional not just for people with disabilities, but also for people who are not limited in movement, he advises.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2013 -- A doorknob is the kind of thing a homeowner may never think about twice. And then arthritis sets in. Or someone tries to get in the house with a bag of groceries in each arm. Or a young parent is toting a baby in one arm and baby supplies in the other while trying to open the door.

Christopher Noe, president of Venetian Builders, Inc., the leading installer of custom-design sunrooms, patio enclosures and pool enclosures in South Florida, said accessibility features intended primarily to help people with disabilities make life easier in all those cases.

“In Florida, accessibility is never a deterrent in the marketplace,” Noe said.

According to census.gov, 17.6 percent of the Florida population is age 65 or older. That’s almost a third higher than the percentage across the United States.

“Features that make a home easier to use and that don’t look out of place will make a home more desirable,” Noe said.

Noe offered tips on making a solarium or screen enclosure more accessible for everyone:

Door hardware: “Make doors as easy to open as possible,” Noe suggested. “A handle is easier than a knob to use, not just by a person with a disability, but also by that young mother or someone else whose hands are full.” Trying to unlock a door also can be difficult. “Consider keyless locking,” Noe said. “It works just like the automatic locks on a car – with the push of a button on a fob. It’s totally secure.”

Door entryways: “A good builder will know how to smooth the transition from outside to indoors,” Noe said. The flat entryway from a deck or walk into a patio room or sunroom addition promotes accessibility, Noe said. “Sunroom additions and patio rooms make great areas for people with disabilities to enter or exit a home,” Noe said. A ramp with handrails from an addition to the main house enhances safety for everyone, Noe added.

Door widths: “We’re selling more wide doors on sun rooms and patio rooms, and more double doors, because they’re easy to use,” Noe said. Wide doors make an entry more accessible not just to someone in a wheelchair or on a scooter, but also to someone pushing a gas grill or carrying pool toys, Noe said.

Surfaces: “Carpeting should be low pile,” Noe suggested. “Uncarpeted areas should be covered with nonskid materials, available in a wide variety of colors and patterns. Nonslip surfaces are especially useful in transitional areas off pool enclosures, where kids are always running around, sometimes with wet feet.”

The company further added that their experts in the mortgage and real estate industry are available 24/7 to answer any queries.

The media spokesperson of Rent 2 Own Assistant quoted on the current trend of rent to own or lease to own homes, “After the subprime mortgage crisis, real estate suffered a huge hit and selling or buying homes became an extremely difficult task. Rent to own homes was the solution created by chief economists to spring back the declining real estate industry in the country, an option that is a win-win for both the sellers and the buyers. Homeowners get an opportunity to sell their real estate or at least get a monthly income through the rent money which can be used to pay off the mortgage fees if any. Buyers, including the ones with poor credit score, get to test out the home and the neighborhood before making a long term commitment. We at Rent 2 Own Assistant have given many families an opportunity to buy a home despite their unfavorable credit. Our experienced financial specialists find out ways to make things work and create offers that are most suitable to home owning prospects.”

Many new home owners state that lease to own homes has turned out to be an excellent alternate choice and is even better than straight up committing to a home. The chance to test the home and the surrounding environment before purchasing it has been appreciated by many, who wonder why such a choice wasn’t their beforehand.

Rent 2 Own Assistant stated that now that sellers and major companies are having trouble finding buyers the real estate industry is tipped in favor of buyers giving them lucrative solutions such as the rent to own homes. However the company warned that any contracts or agreements should be carefully assessed before making a decision. The company further informed that their professionals make sure their clients clearly understand the contract and transparency is maintained at all times between the seller and the buyer.

Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, the leading installer of custom-design sunrooms, patio covers and screen enclosures in South Florida, is expanding its installation business into Hialeah Gardens in Miami-Dade County, Venetian President Christopher Noe said. The smaller homes of Hialeah Gardens will benefit from affordable square footage offered by Venetian sunrooms and patio enclosures, and from patio roofs and carport roofs, Noe said.

Miami, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/12/2013 -- The diminutive homes of Hialeah Gardens will benefit from the affordable square footage that Venetian Builders, Inc., Miami, is now offering homeowners there through sunroom additions, patio covers and screen enclosures, Venetian President Christopher Noe said in announcing the company’s expansion into the city of 22,000.

“Venetian Builders custom-designs every project, including its most economical sunroooms and patio covers, so they always meet codes, permitting and customer needs,” Noe said.

Hialeah Gardens is a working-class community of smaller homes, many of those homes challenged to supply the living space growing families need, Noe said.

“Hialeah Gardens lots are small, but Venetian Builders is experienced in the permitting process for all-sized lots,” Noe said. “Our experience helps us install an addition economically and efficiently, with as little time as possible between ordering and occupancy,” Noe said.

“A Hialeah Gardens screen room or patio room, because of the demands that arise from small lots, takes exacting work, and we know how to get the job done professionally, with the homeowner’s best interests in mind,” Noe said.

Homes in Hialeah Gardens lack garages, Noe noted. “For homes where a carport is possible, Venetian Builders can meet homeowners’ needs with extra-strong framing that doesn’t look much different from the framing they may see on neighbors’ homes, but with better wind resistance and better durability,” Noe said.

Solariums and patio rooms provide much-needed living space even in compact areas, Noe said, and on compact budgets. “Our estimators are trained to work with all homeowners to meet their budgets and build a patio or sunroom addition that meets their needs,” Noe said. “Estimates are free, written and detailed.”

Venetian Builders installs sunrooms, patio enclosures and screen pool enclosures not only in Hialeah Gardens but also in Miami, Stuart, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Davie, Pembroke, Miami Gardens, Homestead, Deerfield Beach, Cooper City, Weston, Hollywood, Boynton Beach, the Keys and communities in between.

Saint Louis, MO -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2013 -- With spring weather just around the corner, many will come out of hibernation and begin their journey to buying their first home. Spring is an excellent time to prospect for houses; within just a few weeks, buyers can inspect the outside condition of a house in two seasons. Some experts feel buyers should be particularly serious about buying a home now as interest rates are at record lows and national home prices are on the rise. Savvy shoppers can still find loans for those with good credit histories, stable income, and sufficient savings. Prudential Select Properties - Select St Louis currently offers one-on-one consultations with would-be home buyers.

Even though conditions are ideal for purchasing St Louis real estate , there are still many factors one has to consider. Closing costs vary from state-to-state and is often difficult to estimate despite the most thorough research. In addition, property taxes also vary depending on location and can be an unwelcome surprise after buying a house. Talking one-on-one with your realtor and lender often yields clarity to the confusion.

Insurance is essential to the home-buying process; not only does it protect from natural disasters, it protects from theft or in some cases, loss or damage during the initial move. Protecting the home and belongings early as well as budgeting for the expense is the best approach. Discuss with your realtor suggestions on local insurance agents which deliver reliability and guarantee professional service.

Finally, consider decorating and home maintenance expense; if one buys an older home or a fixer-upper, one should have some idea of the work and expense involved before-hand. Get professional quality estimates. A good rule of thumb is to "always assume it&aposs going to cost more".

As proven experts in St. Louis county real estate , a Prudential Select Properties realtor can help find the right home.  Spring consultations are available right now; in addition, buyers are welcome to attend  St Charles open houses or other neighborhoods in the area. For more information, contact a local Prudential Select Properties realtor by calling (866) 640-6397 or by visiting  http://www.discoverstl.com

Miami-based realtor Josh Stein has achieved a significant milestone in social media, with his Twitter account – Josh Stein Miami @ miamicondos – reaching over 3,200 followers.

Miami Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2013 -- Miami-based realtor Josh Stein has achieved a significant milestone in social media, with his Twitter account – Josh Stein Miami @ miamicondos – reaching over 3,200 followers.

Josh Stein explicitly expanded onto social media in an effort to engage with both existing and potential clients, as well as to better inform the wider community about relevant real estate news. This success in the utilization of a social networking platform is significant, as many industry analysts consider such venues as being vital to business growth.

The expansion onto Twitter is the latest in a series of online developments undertaken by Josh Stein. In recent months, the realtor launched a new section on his website, JoshSteinRealtor.com, which features luxury condominiums in the Miami area. Around 33 of the most popular residential complexes (such as the Continuum South Beach) are represented, each with a detailed profile compiled by both independent research and data provided by the MLS, a large electronic database of real-estate.

The listings are up-to-date and provide accurate information on asking price, date of listing location, property size, and other relevant details. The directory includes a variety of properties, ranging from condos to single-family homes. Most of these located in and around the Miami Beach area, and including communities such as Bal Harbor, Sunny Isles, South Beach, and more.

Additionally, the listing can be explored through an advance search feature that allows users to specify the specific property they are searching for. Clients can search by property type, asking price, and location. This feature allows prospective homebuyers to find the most recent property available that suits their preferences.

Similarly, the website also provides a list of the 100 most recent property sales. Information on home sales allows clients to learn about the local real estate market, which is particularly important for nonresidents interested in Miami properties. For example, users can determine what types of properties are popular, what kinds of homes comprise Miami real estate, and the health of the housing market. Like the aforementioned listing, this one also provides a detailed search option.

Josh Stein is based in Miami Beach and specializes in Miami Beach Condos and other Miami Beach Real Estate. He has been referenced by local and national media, and has featured in several real estate magazines.

Miami Beach, FL -- (SBWIRE) -- 03/13/2013 -- William Pierce, a South Florida realtor specializing in Miami Beach Condos and Miami Beach Penthouses, has received widespread media attention for being involved in a property transaction that has been identified as the largest condo contract in the history of Miami and Florida real estate.

Among the publications that have featured William Pierce are the Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Real Deal Miami. Additionally, the South Florida Business Journal and Miami Herald will each run a story on Mr. Pierce’s high-profile sale.

Mr. Pierce represented the buyer of two triplex penthouses that totaled $34 million. The penthouses are part of a recent and much-anticipated preconstruction development in Miami Beach. As the Wall Street Journal reported:

"The combined total living space of the two penthouses spans 16,162 square feet, with about 9,843 square feet of that indoors. The penthouses are located at the Residences at the Miami Beach Edition, a new condo project being developed by Ian Schrager on top of his new Miami Beach Edition hotel, which is replacing the old Seville Hotel and is currently under construction. The residential towers will have 26 total units when they are completed next April.

Together, the two penthouses have eight bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. One penthouse has views of the ocean; the other penthouse has views of Biscayne Bay and downtown Miami. Each penthouse has a private elevator that opens onto a rooftop with a pool, an outdoor kitchen and glass-enclosed dining area. Each penthouse also has fireplaces in both the living rooms and master bedrooms. There’s also a great room in each unit with 20-foot ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass windows. The ceilings are ten feet in the remainder of the condos."

“These penthouses are unbelievable mansions in the sky,” says Mr. Pierce, the buyer’s broker. Mr. Pierce declined to name the buyer beyond saying he was an American. Christopher Leavitt and Dennis Mangone of Douglas Elliman represented Mr. Schrager, the developer, in the transaction.

About William Pierce
William Pierce has received several awards in recognition of his performance as realtor. NRT Inc has ranked him among its top sales associates several times, while Coldwell Bankers has more than once awarded him the prestigious International President’s Circle.
