RE/MAX Realty Review - March 2014

REALTY REVIEW – March 2014

Congratulations first for successfully passing of the long pending bill of new state creation. It was a long pending one and due as well. I am sure it is question that whether it will be a good decision or not to invest or stay invested in the new state. The passage of Telangana Bill is being seen as a booster for the realty sector players in Andhra Pradesh and Hyderabad, both affected due to prolonged agitation for statehood. I believe it would provide momentum in Hyderabad and Seemandhra. The latter is expected to see development of new offices and residential projects will come up with the development of new cities. However, it will take time for the momentum to set in and may not see an immediate effect at least for another six months as more details on the restructuring are awaited. With both the State and the union elections only a few months’ away, political conditions can still be considered volatile and may remain a short term concern. Surge of the Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities will happen in the new states and better investment returns are guaranteed for a long term player. For Hyderabad, which will be the common Capital for both the new States for the next 10 years, the end of the stalemate would bring in stability. Till the election time, there will be some good raw deals will be available in the market thus giving an opportunity for investors and first home buyers. By keeping all the changing scenario in mind, RE/MAX International has gone for a change and bringing in sub divisions of the regions under the state. We are scouting for new region owners under the mentorship and looking forward for growth in all parts of Telangana and Coastal Andhra. Also inviting you all to be a part of our upcoming RE/MAX India Annual Convention 2014 happening from 12th April to 14th April and relish to be associate with us sooner. Way ahead for exciting times in the way real estate trends going to change with a flipped business mode. Love and Regards, A Balajee Kumar RE/MAX Regional Owner [email protected]

RE/MAX INTERNATIONAL NEWS RE/MAX Real Estate Agents Retooling for New Market

“A lot of things did change over the last few years but a lot of things did not change. Agents are information brokers who put data into context. The consumer wants to be informed, wants integrity and wants you to give them the best advice,” said Dave Liniger. “So, we need to ask ourselves what will make us better over the next 5 years and we need to challenge each other to make us all better.”

RE/MAX continues to adapt to changing market dynamics and take its business model to increasing numbers of countries around the world.

RE/MAX ANDHRA PRADESH NEWS

RE/MAX Andhrapradesh Participated in Franchisee Expo Franchising in India is estimated to be worth over $22 billion and is growing rapidly at 30% annually, "There is a lot of entrepreneurial appetite in the country and people have money to invest," says Rishikesha T Krishnan, professor of corporate strategy and policy at IIM-Bangalore. Franchising, where an entrepreneur replicates a brand's per-unit business model by giving a fee and a share in the revenue, is also favoured by companies across sectors and is now considered the most preferred gateway to a career in entrepreneurship.

RE/MAX is a global leader in real estate franchising, in fact the No 1 real estate franchise globally and has been expanding aggressively in India as well since 2009.


RE/MAX Andhra Pradesh recently participated in the leading franchising show by Franchisee India FRO-2014 in Hyderabad. Over 200 inquiries in the 2 days show were received for knowing the one of its first kind- real estate franchising.

Over a period what is becoming more evident is that big brands will inevitably increase their dominance in their relative sector and the future belongs to them. This is because big brands offer credibility and security as well as easy to understand systems, ongoing support and, most importantly, continual training — the key to all success.”


SOME REALTY TIPS & BITES - Vastu Properties - Wall Colors


According to Vastu Shastra, different wall colors have different properties. In general, green is considered to drive away anxiety, yellow improves memory, pink eases tension, and orange is good for the appetite.

Living Room Yellow, blue, green, and beige are suitable colors for the living room as lighter and brighter colors are preferred in spaces where guests are entertained. These colors promote better relationships and an active environment.

Dining Room Orange, peach, pink, green, and blue are the preferred colors for the dining room. Orange is the most beneficial of all for dining as it is said to improve appetite. Avoid black and all dull colors as it is a place for eating and digesting.

Kitchen For kitchen, white is the best color. It is the color of purity and cleanliness, the best of all floor and wall colors for cooking. It should also have a dash of red to symbolize fire. It can be in the form of utensils or decorations. Blue can also be used in kitchens.

Puja Room/ Meditation Room

The colors yellow, sandalwood, blue, red, and

green are all suitable for meditation and Puja

room. Yellow and sandalwood are the best

followed by all others because more sober colors

are said to promote concentration and focus.


Bedroom Pink, light green, light blue or yellow can be used for

painting the bedroom walls as these colors create a

tranquil environment and give good sleep. Pink is the

most preferred. Yellow can be used for the elderly.

Avoid dark blue and red for all bedroom interiors.

Children’s Bedroom/ Study A child's room should be colored green as

far as possible as green is the best color

for children’s activities like studying and

sleeping. Blue can be used if the child is

aggressive.

Bathroom White, black, white, grey and shades of pink can be

used for the bathroom. White is the best color

followed by combinations of black, white and grey.

Green drives away anxiety, blue cures

insomnia, red solves your over weight

problem, orange improves your appetite,

pink relieves from tension and yellow

improves memory. Some colors add zest

to life and give positive attitude where as

some colors act the opposite way.

Apart from these, Vastu also stipulates

certain laws on how to choose colors

based on the house owner’s zodiac sign

and direction or orientation of the house.

It is always advisable to seek the help of

Vastu consultants before making any

changes to your home.


9 Reasons Why You Should Choose Property Investment Although there are many options for investing, property investment is one of the favorites. There are at least 9 reasons why we should invest in property and not other types of investments: 1. The power of “Leverage” To invest in our properties have the option to not use 100% of our money, but by using other people’s money (OPM). One of the most common source is the money the bank loans. Depending on the country where we are, we usually can get a loan from banks ranging from 70% to 95%. In this case we only need to spend down payment of 5% to 30% of property price. This means leverage is nearly 3.3 to 20 times. 2. Relatively low risk In general, investment in property is not like investing in the stock market where prices in one day can go down and up quite significantly. Only in certain situations where the economy was bad, property investments may be affected slightly. When compared with other investment types, such as opening a business, saving money on deposit or invested in stocks, property investment has a lower risk than those investments. If we look at the risk compared with income potential, the property has a relatively low risk with good potential income from rents and capital gains. 3. Two sources of income: rental and capital gains Property investment offers combination of rental income and capital gains. Investing in property is not only going to give us a positive cash flow but also potential capital gains depends on property price increment 4. Full control to increase the value of property If you have a property, you have full control of how you will increase the value of the property. There are many ways that can be done to increase the value of property, ranging from very simple things like painting the property. Other ways are to buy a few accessories or cosmetics, and renovations. These activities are very important especially when we want to rent or sell property. Some people do small renovations to increase the value of the property so that owners can sell at prices much higher. 5. Safe and sure investment in the long term Property prices usually will not fluctuate so much. In general, it takes some time for property prices change over time. This is different from the stock market where prices can change dramatically in the evening. 6. Protection against inflation Unlike a savings or deposits where interest is given is usually much lower than the rate of inflation, property prices usually follow at least the inflation rate. In this case, investing in property is still a better option to protect them from inflation.


7. A good vehicle to achieve financial freedom Using rental income to generate positive cash flow, it is possible to achieve financial independence after a few years depending on the level of success of each person in the property investment. 8. Can reduce the tax burden Founded the company and buy property using the name of the company can save taxes. Rental property can be considered as income taxes and usually will apply only after deduction of all expenses charged. Buying property on behalf of the company will be more profitable than buying on behalf of individuals. 9. Become rich through property Property investment makes people truly wealthy. The key to wealth in property is through capital gains.
