any predictions for the plymouth (devon) property market?

Property sales are down everyplace, but prices are up in some areas even though sales are down. I think this a buyers market. Buy low and sell when it turns around in five to ten. In general I think this always works.

If a tidal wave happens there will be a lot of vacant property for sale! Probably real cheap!

I am currently looking for my next investment property & have just returned from Bundy.  They have a new land estate called Branyan Park, depending on your price range, they have house & land packages from $250,000!  If you wanted to be a little closer to Noosa / Brisbane way then you may want to look at what's available at Cooloola Sands.

Some areas in Orange County are stable and in Irvine, I have seen a 3% increase in price near the Irvine Spectrum area. Other areas are sinking.\n\nRegards

That is a tough one to answer on the basis that you would not want to live anywhere, e.g. cheapest is probably next to a nuclear power station and I doubt you would want that.\n\nI would start by selecting the areas you like.  Then for each of these find out what the local property prices are.  One useful site to help find the recently sold prices is ourproperty.com.  I do not have any affiliation with them but find it a useful site to look up property prices that people have paid - not want estate agents ask for.\n\nGood luck with your search.

Keep in mind...........\n\nTimes and markets are changing!\n\nIn California with average homes selling well over $500,000, a 20% decline is $100,000! In any market 'timing is everything'! So, could you afford a loss of 25% of your investment all because of poor timing???\n\nThis last up cycle was 10 years in many parts of the country. The downcycle now started in CA, Wash DC, NYC, Vegas and other hot areas of the past are all soft and getting softer.\n\nFrom 1990 to 1996, the average home in San Diego lost 20% of its' value! The cycle we are now enterng looks like it could well exceed that on the downside!\n\nWith all the 100% financing, interest only loans, EZ qualifing etc...even a slight decline will cause many to be unable to sell for the amount due on their loans!\n\nFor some great 'insider' articles on the San Diego real estate market, which I believe will apply to any of the hot real estate markets of the past five years.....visit:\n\nhttp://www.downtown-san-diego-real-estate.com/san-diego-real-estate-article-index.htm\nhttp://www.brokerforyou.com\nhttp://www.san-diego-for-sale-by-owner.com\nhttp://www.la-jolla-ca-del-mar-san-diego-real-estate-encinitas-california.us\nhttp://www.brokerforyou.com/blogger/index.html\nhttp://san-diego-coastal-real-estate.blogspot.com\nhttp://sandiegofsbo.blogspot.com\nhttp://downtown-san-diego-real-estate-views.blogspot.com

Current inflation rates are a bit higher than the central banks would like to see, but not so high that they are affecting most peoples' habits.\n\nThe real estate market is actually experiencing a period of recession; many property values are dropping somewhat.  This tends to be somewhat localized though so it may or may not apply to your area.

Looks like I'm going to own beach front property! Land prices have sky rocketed in my area does that mean a lot of other people think the same thing?

I have been mulling over the same question. I have decided that the bubble is more hyped up then it should be and that if anything prices will drop a bit or rmain the same over the next year or two. I'm just going to bite the bullet and buy a half million dollar property, i'm probably going to buy in Glendale in the next two months.\n\nGood Luck finding the right house!

All real estate is local. Some local markets will most certainly see prices stabilize to fall. Coastal areas have been extremely HOT. Areas like Atlanta have only seen modest growth in the past.\n\nSo what you're likely to see is prices in coastal Florida show flat to decline, while metro-Atlanta will see flat to increase. \n\nRemember though, people have been saying Florida will decline for many years and many of us (including me) have missed great opportunities.

I would suggest the New Bern area.  Housing prices are now going up, but the people are friendly and the area is beautiful.

Dear Ortiz,\nNow that the housing market is finally looking up, it's the perfect time to seek out a new place to live. This summer you need to shake off that "lucky I even have my folks to live with" mentality, polish up your shoes, and explore your living quarters options! There are fun, flexible, fantastic places out there just waiting for someone like you!\nNow, get out there and pound the pavement. Beat on some doors until you latch onto that incredible tree house or fort you always wanted! \n(I heard the Blackhawk area is a great place to find a cardboard box near a dumpster behind the pizza joint?)\n-Noah

You should try to contact the land registry at \n\nwww.landregisteronline.gov.uk\n\nYou can also visit www.housepricecrash.co.uk, which has links to various sites about house prices.\n\nGood luck!

I think they will be getting worse because the market is softening.  its getting tough and agents will do what they have to do to survive.  I was doing an open house and an agent was trying to show off in front of  his client and made unprofessional statements regarding the lack of amenities in the house  that i was doing the open house at.  he said his listing which was next door would sell before mine.  he was trying to look good in front of his client.  in my opinion he just looked stupid.

Best way is to check recent sales prices of other homes in the area.  Try domania.com.  As for what it will fetch in another year from now, no way to predict.

not sure how anyone could advise you to buy based upon an online description. without seeing the property that is downright silly. the real estate market is currently at or near a top based upon all available data. read the newspapers, mortgage rates are going higher, sales are down, builders are offering big incentives to buy... that is usually the sign of a major slowdown.\n\ndon't know where you are located, but i would proceed with caution. the buildings across the street could overshadow your intended purchase and make your property worth less to a potential buyer down the road. i would never buy across the street from unknown construction. what happens if they don't finish the project and leave a shell across the street that scares people away. what if they build something that is ugly, or creates traffic problems. \n\ndid you check out how many town house units are owner occupied or rented to others? that is a major factor. renters don't treat the property the way an owner does.\n\nyou have much homework to do. good luck

Anywhere in the borough of Newham is likely to be a good buy - most especially Stratford, because last year we got the announcement that the Olympis is coming here in 2012. Prior to that we're getting a whole helluvalot of new building, new transport links, including a new link from Stratford into the Eurostar and a quick rail link that's supposed to be able to take you from the East End to the centre of London in something fantastic like 6 minutes.\n\nStratford's your best buy for the next six years. The values should soar.
