Most investors buying residential property, count on quick profits and are as follows: during the early growth of square feet they are buying one or more flats and selling them at the peak of growth. In this case, their income is between 40-50% (the percentage of growth, for example, 2002) and up to 100-150% (the rising cost of square meters in 2006). Thus, to predict how many will grow square meter is quite difficult. Often, experts forecast is wrong. Thus, according to experts the real estate market in 2006, housing was supposed to grow by approximately 15-20%. However, as it turned out, the increase was more than 150%. According to specialists AN "Bekar" one of the reasons for such a mad jump was delayed demand: the part of buyers awaited reduce the cost of housing, and from sellers who had expected the maximum price. Considering the year 2006 can be noted that most of the buyers bought the apartment for himself, about 25% - as an investment and about 10% - for the children .. In this case, it is no secret that not all investors have had time to "throw off" on the market square meters, thus starting in October for 2 months, the number of sentences increased by about 500 per week. Long-term investment "Yes, many investors of residential real estate oriented toward short-term, - says Elena Isaenko, Head of rental housing AN" Bekar. "- However, if the estimate turns out to much more profitable to hold in their own apartments and after a few years, a gain of 2 - 3 times, because the percentage of growth in house prices almost always exceeds the percentage decline. Take, for example, data on the dynamics of the value of residential real estate in St. Petersburg from 2002 to 2006. In 2002, the housing market a steady rise in the cost of apartments. And if in the beginning of the year, the price per square meter was about $ 600, by the end of the year it reached $ 900 (50%). the beginning of 2004 housing prices have grown by another 50%. Then came the period of the rollback in prices by 2-5% sample behavior of investors during this period was as follows: at the beginning of inflation (2002) they have bought the apartment, which was sold in late 2004. Thus, their income was about 100%. The next leap in the cost of housing, we have seen in the middle of 2006, when for half the price of apartments rose by 150%. The behavior of investors during this period was similar to the previous one: in the middle of 2006 they bought a house and the end of the year it was sold. Their profits in this situation was equivalent to increasing the cost of housing, ie 150%. "Despite the high yield, short-term investments have a major drawback: the market often behaves unpredictably. As a consequence, difficult to determine what will be the profit from the following times: 15% or 100%, - says Elena Isaenko. - It is so much more profitable to make long-term investments housing. Consider the following example: an investor bought an apartment in 2002 and did not get rid of it during the rollback of prices in 2005, and decided to sell at the end of 2006. In this case, its profit was approximately 350%. You can take a different period: from mid 2006 until the present time. During this period, the rising cost of square meters, as mentioned above, amounted to 150%. Experts predict AN "Bekar" small growth period (not less than 10% per year) will last about a year, after which you can again expect a spike in the price. "In this case, it is possible that it will be similar to what was in 2006," - says Elena Isaenko. Thus, investors who kept their homes, have a chance to get to the end of 2008 more than 270% profit. Many stops fact risk: if an investor from one city, and the apartment - in the other, then who can guarantee that it did not happen? "That's why it profitable to give your property in trust, as all matters of security and control over the apartment real estate company takes over, - says Elena Isaenko. - In addition, if the investor decides to lease his property located in the real estate it can at least cover the costs of maintaining and, as a maximum, to increase their profits from the facility.
