Download or read book Market Making in the Residential Real Estate Market written by Curtis G. Tenney and published by . This book was released on 2001-05-01 with total page 109 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This research investigates using a market maker mechanism in the 1998 Northern Virginia residential real estate market. Market maker functions are defined and described as they have been characterized in the literature. The benefits of having market makers range from shortening trading time and reducing transaction costs to transmitting information quicker and cheaper and reducing total selling costs and equilibrium prices. The market maker assumes risk from the seller and provides future liquidity to buyers. Real estate agents are not true market makers since they do not fulfill most market maker functions. Ideas from many authors are used to describe theoretical models of the existing and alternative market structures. Almost all sellers currently list their homes with a realtor using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), indicating that trying to sell their home on their own or becoming a landlord are unattractive options. Although for buyers there is very little difference, market makers make a big difference for sellers. Since sales to a market maker are immediate, there is no need to discount expected future revenues. The data for this study comes from the 1998 Northern Virginia MLS sales database. After the theoretical models are reduced using some basic assumptions about the real world market, regression analysis is used to estimate sales prices. Sales timing data is used to compute the probabilities of selling a home as well as the revenues and costs of the market maker. The final results are shown for several different assumed discount rates.

Lynn provides a framework for thinking about highly dynamic markets characterized by youthful populations, extraordinary demand, capital inefficiency and, most importantly, aspiration. This book will enlighten institutional investors and entrepreneurs alike. I look forward to another work by David Lynn addressing the frontier markets.” —Gary R. Garrabrant, CEO & Co-Founder, Equity International An informed look at investing in emerging market real estate Focusing primarily on private equity real estate investment in China, India, and Brazil this reliable resource develops a general approach to commercial real estate investment in emerging markets, and illustrates some common strategies and analytical methods that can be implemented within this arena. Filled with in-depth insights and expert advice, Emerging Market Real Estate Investment focuses on broad investment themes and strategies as well as economic and legal/institutional factors, rather than the minute details of local market analyses.

Outlines various real estate investment options and strategies for emerging markets such as China, India, and Brazil Discusses the main features of each real estate market, including real estate foreign direct investment (FDI) Analyzes several primary real estate sectors in each country: office, retail, residential, industrial, and hotel where applicable Written with both institutional and private investors in mind, Emerging Market Real Estate Investment will put you in a better position to excel in emerging real estate markets. Praise for Emerging Market Real Estate Investment: “Emerging Market Real Estate Investment is written with a top down strategic orientation. It presents an excellent overview for US institutional investors planning to invest in offshore real estate in general and emerging markets and China, India and Brazil specifically. It covers all the key points my firm had to address before investing in China. I wish it had been available then.” —Robert H. Zerbst, Former Chairman & CEO, CB Richard Ellis Investors “This book does for international real estate what Samuelson’s primary Economics text did for economics students—it finally provides a new discipline with its first Bible. As cross-border real estate capital flows are on the rise, and investors increasingly seek compelling risk-adjusted returns in emerging markets, this book couldn’t have come at a better time in the market cycle. It is rich in content and filled with practical insights” —Kenneth A. Munkacy, Senior Managing Director, GID International Group/GID Investment Advisers, LLC “With American real estate in the doldrums, more investors will be looking abroad. David and Tim's analysis of international real estate investment, focused on three of the world’s most dynamic economies, provides exceptionally detailed knowledge concerning what real estate markets are really like in China, India, and Brazil. It is essential reading for investors considering those markets.” —Anthony Downs, Senior Fellow, the Brookings Institution “David Lynn and Tim Wang have written the 'must read' book for all real estate investors in emerging Brazil, China and India. They comprehensively cover the landscape of issues—economic, policy, legal, markets, sectors, entry, exit and strategies. Of noted value is their sanguine assessment of the risks and opportunities of alternative strategies in each country. The first outlay for all should be their book.” —Dr. Raymond G Torto, CRE, Global Chief Economist, CB Richard Ellis "Emerging Market Real Estate Investment is a powerful tool for those engaged in foreign investment generally, as well as in China, India and Brazil in particular. It combines a broad general view of competitive strategy with local detail on costs and legal aspects. The book is an intelligent and practical guide to foreign real estate investment." —Bowen H. McCoy, CRE, Formerly Partner and Managing Director, Morgan Stanley

Download or read book International Real Estate written by W. Seabrooke and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-04-15 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real estate activity across national boundaries (investment, development and asset management) is firmly established as a major component of global economic activity. International Real Estate provides the understanding of real estate strategies and transactions that cross national boundaries. International organizations lament the narrow perspective of professionals in the real estate field, which stems from training that takes a parochial rather than international view of the practices and processes of real estate markets. This book takes an explicitly international perspective to the decision-making process leading to final 'accept' or 'reject' investment decisions. It will be the first to adopt an institutional approach that directly addresses the problems of how to identify and avoid the main pitfalls of cross-border investment in real estate. The key to understanding international real estate comes from understanding the impact on investment and management decisions of differences in the formal and informal 'rules of the game'. The authors define the key feature of international real estate as the institutions that frame, facilitate or impede investment in land and buildings across national boundaries.

Download or read book Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom written by David Lereah and published by Crown Currency. This book was released on 2005-02-22 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom? author David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, asks. We are experiencing a historic wealth-building opportunity. To ensure that your don’t miss out, Lereah provides the tools, information, and analysis you need to become a savvy real estate investor. And he shows how to integrate real estate into your overall investment strategies and financial planning goals. Among the information you’ll find in the book: How to become a master at dealing with real estate agents, brokers, and lenders. Which home improvements will result in the greatest long-term gains. How to identify the vacation homes and regions that will increase the most in value. How to finance a first-time home—with or without a big down payment. Why will the real estate boom continue into the next decade? Low interest rates are part of the story. Although mortgage rates have notched up slightly over the last year, they still remain historically very low. Technological advances from online real estate listings to automated underwriting to an explosion of financing options have reduced home ownership costs and simplified the process of buying and selling. Continued high demand from baby-boomers buying larger homes, second homes, and retirement homes, and a new wave of immigrants and “echo” boomers buying first homes, ensure that the boom will continue into the next decade. The long-term fundamentals for housing remain strong into the foreseeable future, claims Lereah. Far from a real estate “bubble,” what we are experiencing today is a phenomenon that takes place only once every other generation: a long-term real estate market expansion. Isn’t it time you started taking advantage of it today? Are you missing the real estate boom? Can you increase your wealth from it? For most people—including current homeowners—the answer is a resounding yes. But it’s not too late to increase your stake in the greatest real estate boom of our generation. Whether you are a first-time buyer or already own your home, Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom? will show you how you can dramatically increase your overall wealth. Author David Lereah, chief economist for the National Association of Realtors, shows why the real estate market is poised to climb higher over the next decade—and explains what you can do to profit from it. Lereah calls today’s market a “once-in-every-other generation opportunity.” Today's boom is not just driven by low interest rates—there are a host of demographic and economic reasons why real estate will continue to outpace other investments, from the growing needs of the baby-boomer generation and the rise of the “echo” boomer generation to the new ways real estate is marketed and sold. Are you a first-time buyer? A current homeowner considering whether or not to trade up? There has never been a better time to do so, Lereah convincingly claims. In Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom?, Lereah explains what to look for when you’re buying a home; which improvements add the most value to your current home; what to consider when purchasing rental properties; how to evaluate real estate investment trusts (or REITs); and the pros and cons of second homes. Full of detailed information on how to work with a real estate agent and a mortgage lender, how to analyze local markets and regional fluctuations, and how to best finance your investment, Are You Missing the Real Estate Boom? offers readers the seasoned advice they need to invest with confidence and reap outsized rewards.
