Real Estate Prespectives for 2012 – interview with Horia Halmagi, real estate agent Coldwell Banker
Question: How did 2012 start for the residential market in Brasov? HH: The start of 2012 brought a decrese in prices, especially for the old apartment segment, caused by the owners’ need for cash, because of different spending requirements, especially during the colder months (higher utilities prices) and, at the same time, because of the banking credits engaged.

Q: How has 2012 started for the real estate sector? I.Preda: For people in Bucharest, the implementation of the new system of the Cadastral and Real Estate Advertising Office caused some delays in the real estate field, but after the 16th of January everyone was able to smile again, when real estate transactions were, once again, on track.

This is why I decided to be media partner and support the first seminar about all these. In the last weekend of March [...]

Usually you read in the media about “funds”, “investors”, “venture capital” or other types of investors. But do you really know what it this all about? Too many people talk about all these, but very few of them really understand the meaning and even less know how to take advantage of the opportunities that are waiting them. This is why I decided to be media partner and support the first seminar about all these. In the [...]
