Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: China’s economy has been transforming rapidly over the last 25 years. As a result, Chinese conurbations have changed remarkably, with cities expanding both vertically and horizontally, and the physical environment acting as a medium for unprecedented urbanization. This has provided vast opportunities for investors, real estate developers, and service companies, but also presents huge challenges—as traditional city spaces have been reconfigured, environmental risks and the volatility of real estate markets increased. However, as engagement with China is becoming strategically important for many, forming a synthesized lens through which to read China across the vicissitudes of its real estate sector bears historic significance. By offering an insightful framework and structure for understanding China’s variegated real estate dynamics, players, and markets, Understanding China’s Real Estate Markets codifies the principles and practices of real estate development, finance, and investment in China and builds foundations for future academic research and practical knowledge in shaping and engaging the urban environment within China and beyond.

Download or read book Real Estate Finance and Economics written by Lucy Ogbenjuwa and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-01-23 with total page 310 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finance is essential to the real estate project development sector's success. However, there is still an enormous gap in the real estate sector. What seems to be required is a model that could guide managers in securing real estate project development finance. Findings have shown that no comprehensive framework is presently available. This book presents a toolkit to support real estate managers in securing real estate project development finance. The book will help managers to understand the different financing options and criteria required by financiers. The study includes case studies from developed and emerging economies, including Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States of America, China, Nigeria, and South Africa. The author concludes that the dominant challenges common to managers in both economies are access to land, collateral, and rising interest rates.

Download or read book Impact of Public Policy Measures on the German Real Estate Market written by Christopher Yvo Oertel and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-17 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christopher Oertel studies the impact of public policy measures on the German real estate market and confirms the assumptions, which imply that a city can influence its economic position in relation to nearby cities in the short run by making use of this tax instrument. His analyses begin with an examination of the German residential real estate market from a consumption good perspective. The findings indicate that the home-ownership allowance had a distorting effect by capitalizing into residential real estate prices, although at lower than expected rates. Then the author studies the German residential real estate market from an investment good perspective. Investigating an important amendment of the German tenancy legislation, there is a positive, yet insignificant relationship between the tenancy law reform act and the development of the cap rate. The analysis is completed by focussing on the German office market and investigating how its rental levels and gross purchase prices are affected by changes in the municipal trade tax multiplier.

Jan de Graaff therefore quantifies the impact of crime and migration on residential real estate prices and identifies the location choice preferences of Germans by applying innovative methodologies to unique German data sets.

Book excerpt: Bachelor Thesis from the year 2019 in the subject Economics - Macro-economics, general, grade: 1,7, University of Applied Sciences Frankfurt am Main, language: English, abstract: The main question which results through the theme is: “Are German real estates overvalued or can the development on the market be explained by macro-economic factors?” To be able to answer this question it is necessary to firstly define what a bubble is and further analyze general criteria which can lead to it. After that an analyzation of possible indicators which are linked to the two largest housing bubbles: the The Subprime Crisis in in the USA of the former decade and the housing bubble in Japan in the middle of the 90s will be done and a comparison of those crises will be given. Based on those findings the development of the current real estate situation of Germany and an overall evaluation of possible legal and political instruments which are supposed to protect from a pricing bubble will be done. The findings are based on literature review and include an empirical part with expert interviews when it comes to the risk of having a housing bubble specifically in Germany.

Download or read book The valuation of Real Estate in Germany written by Stefan Hocke and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2006-04-06 with total page 103 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diploma Thesis from the year 2006 in the subject Business economics - Investment and Finance, grade: 1,0, Heilbronn University of Applied Sciences, language: English, abstract: Real estate is one of the most important assets. This is expressed in Germany’s national accounts where net construction assets are 86% of total net fixed assets.1In addition the usage of real estate belongs to the basic needs of people. Consequently the disposition of real estate regarding construction and acquisition contributes strongly to economical development of net stock of fixed assets within a national economy. However, in the valuation of property particular difficulties appear that complicate rational capital disposition. Basically, property valuation methods are difficult to apply or even fail in respect of rental income forecasts, assessment of risk and market orientation. Other influential factors originate from the heterogeneous character of properties and the complex structure of real estate markets. This work aims for the examination of codified and international property valuation methods in terms of their theoretical structure, practical application and critical aspects that influence a precise property valuation. In the following, principles regarding property valuation are introduced. This is followed by a detailed description of codified and international valuation methods. Subsequently all methods are applied on a real world valuation example that illustrates the methods and their applicability. Afterwards some decisive valuation methods are critically reviewed regarding their methodology, applicability and marketability. In summary the reader is given a classification in form of a matrix that is based on the aforementioned criteria. Further, some favourable components are identified that are complemented with recommendations for the use in practice.

Download or read book The Financialization of Housing written by Manuel B. Aalbers and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Due to the financialization of housing in today’s market, housing risks are increasingly becoming financial risks. Financialization refers to the increasing dominance of financial actors, markets, practices, measurements and narratives. It also refers to the resulting structural transformation of economies, firms, states and households. This book asserts the centrality of housing to the contemporary capitalist political economy and places housing at the centre of the financialization debate. A global wall of money is looking for High-Quality Collateral (HQC) investments, and housing is one of the few asset classes considered HQC. This explains why housing is increasingly becoming financialized, but it does not explain its timing, politics and geography. Presenting a diverse range of case studies from the US, the UK, the Netherlands, Germany, Italy and Spain, the chapters in this book include coverage of the role of the state as the driver of financialization processes, and the part played by local and national histories and institutions. This cutting edge volume will pave the way for future research in the area. Where housing used to be something "local" or "national", the two-way coupling of housing to finance has been one crucial element in the recent crisis. It is time to reconsider the financialization of both homeownership and social housing. This book will be of interest to those who study international economics, economic geography and financialization.
