Real estate remains a profitable investment
For many Belgians , buying a home remains a safe investment. The current low interest rates make borrowing particularly cheap , while many subsidies promote energy efficient homes . In addition, a portion of the mortgage is tax deductible.
Claim ownership today is therefore not a foolish investment. But this may not last forever : interest rates begin to rise , while subsidies are declining and that the tax deduction will be abolished from 1 January 2015. In other words , who wants to buy a house should ideally do so in 2014.
In 2015, the end of the tax deduction : it is better to buy a house in 2014
End of 2014 , mortgages spend federal regional . The system of tax deduction is very expensive, it would likely disappear from 1 January 2015. So who buys, builds or renovates from 2015 will no longer qualify for a partial tax deductibility of interest . Deductibles are sometimes quite high, it can deal a severe blow to your projects.
If this system is not extended by the Walloon and Brussels regions, however, remain valid for buyers who entered into a mortgage this year and next year. And until the loan is fully repaid , of course. From 1 January 2015 , the regions should provide a new type of compensation , which remains to be defined. It was not until the second half of 2014 to be attached to this issue. One thing is certain : this amount will be much lower , so that build or buy a home will become even more difficult in 2015. However, buying a house in 2014 knows the exact amount that will be deductible for tax purposes.
Take advantage of low interest rates
Economic fluctuations will , they also make life difficult for potential buyers . Low interest rates make borrowing very cheap, certainly, but experts predict a rise in interest rates in the coming months. If you want to buy a house, so better use low interest rates to your advantage.

Miami is still dreaming the French
Miami won the French households. After their American counterparts, they are the ones who have the most accessed April BestBuyFloridaHome.com website to buy. The presence of real estate professionals in Florida National Exhibition French property held in Paris in April there is not foreign, according to the website. "The participation of the association (Realtors Miami ed) at international conferences such as the National Real Estate Fair was a great way to attract new buyers and foreign investors to the Miami real estate market" .
But if the French are so enticed by the "Magic City" in Florida, but also because it is now very cheap for its standard. Properties therein therefore are likely to be valued in the coming years, thus giving the opportunity to the owners to make gains in a short time. Which is not the case in France, where housing prices reach in some places, ceilings.
"Miami remains a real wise investment because the price per square meter is 2-3 times lower than cities such as New York or Paris and generally lower than that of French cities like Bordeaux, Marseille and Toulouse, 3000 euros per square meter for quality goods and 5-6 000 for premium goods, "stated there a few weeks the real estate specialist, Luxury Alexandra Dupont.
It should actually go back to 2007 to understand why property prices in Miami are also attractive. The subprime crisis has harshly affected Florida and prices there have been a precipitous decline. A catch-up effect is exerted since. According to local real estate professionals, there are still two years before prices return to their pre-crisis level. This means that time is running out for potential buyers.

Real estate prices in Miami. What will happen?
The property prices in Miami fell , then during the last year have risen. Now what will happen, will fall or rise ?
In recent months have reported an increase of between 15 and 20 % in the rates
Miami properties when compared with the same period last year. According to the report of Douglas Elliman properties located on the coast have increased 20.9 % in the second quarter of this year and when you factor in all villas Miami prices gained an average of 17.7 % over the same quarter the previous year.
Prices remain upwards due to reduced inventory of properties . The reason that the inventory is decreased due to lower sales of properties in bank gets , that because of the scandal known as robo- signing scandal that virtually froze sales of properties at auction . This happened in late 2010 when banks were apparently not complying with regulations when finished off a property at all sales in banking gets interrupted and have reviewed and amended procedures. In the past, the sale of properties in bank gets represented a high proportion of total sales ( 60 % last year vs. 40% this year ) and that part of the reduced inventory , who are selling now are owners who purchased their properties before the housing bubble, those who recently bought property in bank auction and those who can afford to sell at loss .
I predict now that most of the experts is that the banks will begin to reduce its inventory of properties (those who have mortgages on their books but have not executed to take the real estate ) and that could push prices back towards low. I can not say with certainty that prices will not go down but I anticipate that , with all other variables being equal , the prices in the real estate market in South Florida do not come down substantially when the banks put on the market their properties.
My observations come from being constantly on the street :
When you visit condo managers you realize that apartment owners with delinquent accounts with condominium associations have declined substantially . Usually owners who do not pay their bank loan not pay the maintenance fee of the building. Even some associations have been able to reduce their maintenance fees that have improved the collection .
Although there have been fewer bank shots , banks have improved their process of " short sales " ( selling short - the bank or the lender allows the property is sold for a lesser amount than is owed on the mortgage assuming a loss on the loan ) which has helped to remove some of the inventory that the bank needs to resume .
Once these properties enter the market at auction sale will be quickly absorbed because there is enough pent-up demand from buyers.
My biggest concern is given to the possible impact that may have on prices in the next two years due to sales that are currently doing projects in pre - construction. I recognize that most of these projects are demanding between 30 and 70 % deposit from buyers before the building is completed. However, between 2014 and 2015 there will be a lot of condos / apartments available on the market again.

Florida Real Estate: the market becomes a little less favorable to Canadians
The holiday is perhaps not yet complete, but Canadians wishing to purchase a property in Florida to take refuge in the winter should begin to monitor signs .
Two distinct trends over the past year had the effect of diminishing the purchasing power of Canadians in this American state for the first time since the recession : the decline of the one part , ten percent of the loon on the U.S. dollar and rising , on the other hand, about ten per cent on the price of homes in the United States.
Bargains are always possible in Florida , since the real estate market has not yet fully recovered from the stock market crash of 2008. There remains potential buyers should expect a much more competitive than in recent years market.
And data from the 2013 National Association of Realtors in the United States demonstrated . Home sales rose 9.1 percent, the best performance since 2006, while the median price of properties increased 11.5 percent, the largest increase since 2005.
At the same time , acquisitions of houses by foreigners fell last year . Figures for international transactions are not yet available but already in March 2013, the total sales stood at U.S. $ 68.2 billion, down from U.S. $ 82.5 billion recorded in 2012.
Canadians make up a quarter of foreigners buying properties in the United States . And Florida is a destination of choice, with 39 percent of transactions being performed therein . Arizona ranks second with 24 percent , followed by California, Hawaii and Texas.
An economist also said that trends this year would have consequences , albeit limited .
Statistics analyzed by TD Bank for The Canadian Press suggests that the decline in the Canadian dollar ten cents is not a mean annual decrease of 250,000 Canadian tourists in Florida. But the rapid growth of Canadian tourism in the state was so high that even a reduction will result in growth, however, will be more modest than in previous years developed.
In 2010, the number of Canadians in Florida rose 12 percent , followed by six percent (2011 ), six percent (2012 ) and three percent in 2013. TD Bank expects this year an increase of approximately two percent.
"I think that growth is slowing , but I do not think that spending and the presence of Canadians in the real estate market will decline to levels observed there five or ten years before the recession," said Vice President and Deputy Chief Economist, TD Bank , Derek Burleton.
