(As I keep on telling you since 2009…) It was spring 2008 when I restructured my company’s activities for the first time. The second (and final) one occurred in spring of 2009. It was announced to the media in a press conference back then, plus in the launching of my first book about Romania, in English language (you can watch the relevant video here. You can find more about the book here). At that time I kept on explaining that the retail and the commercial sectors would be the only ones in which transactions would occur: June 2009: “Properties which generate income will be the majority [...]

(part 2, to read part 1, please press here) This was the news on Thursday. Everyone was talking about it. A… “brave” Spanish investor decided to demolish his building, located at Calea Floreasca (Bucharest) and build a new project in its place.

Yesterday everyone was talking about this news. A… “brave” Spanish investor decided to demolish his building, located at Calea Floreasca (Bucharest) and build a new project in its place.

Since the beginning of the year, I have already talked to tens of investors. From the ones who search an apartment to buy for themselves, to directors of major firms, with millions (or tens of millions) to invest in Romania. I am referring to people who really want to invest, not to the ones who ignore Romania as investment choice, or simply continue “collecting information and properties”, without any real wish to invest in something. Psychology is different, but… We all say that “market is psychology”. And I would like to share with you that indeed the psychology has changed a bit during [...]

(part 1) Last week I analysed for you the situation after the new law for PUZ approvals in Romania, as it was presented by minister Udrea. We checked together the positive and negative effects of it, which you can remember here and here. But except the general analyses, let us check also the actual reality which is about to come during this year. Because, as plenty of you wrote in your emails, the most important of all is the actual effect of each decision in the prices, the supply and demand for properties. Limited stock of good properties, not many lands with PUZ approved Let us [...]

Hello and Happy Valentine’s day to everyone! Despite the clear commercial “direction” of this celebration (boosting sales during a “dead” period), it is obvious that it has become part of our capitalistic civilization. During the last years, it has become very famous in Romania too, leaving aside the local “dragobete”. So, enjoy this day (and night) and create something unique for you and your partner to remember! “I loved this property since the first moment I saw it” As this day is special, let me try to reply to something quite “popular” in your emails to me. There are more than 30 of you, [...]
