Afghanistan property for sale is not for the faint hearted

Afghanistan property for sale or rent is a new region to the world of investing and is not without difficulties at this stage of the war torn region.

Private real estate agents are still reluctant to explore or invest in a market that a World Bank study reveals that even though local businessmen have poured in a whopping $250m in construction activities in the country since 2001, very little of the money has gone into building homes. Most of it has been invested in luxury commercial buildings, thus assuring returns in a country starved of quality commercial space. Generally residents are erecting dwellings with little or no permission and land ownership is not without issues.

Afghanistan is one of the world's poorest countries, yet has shown good signs of emerging from its great economic slump. Plans are even underway to redevelop Kabul where a new development, called the City of Light Development, will incorporate both commercial and historical elements of the city by revitalizing the old war torn buildings and protecting shrines and temples.

Commercial Property is viable in the Middle East

Commercial property is subject to the same market conditions as any other type of property. In economic sound markets businesses require office space from which to operate and reach their target audience.

International Property Developers can offer access to a wide range of commercial office space opportunities - especially from emerging markets that have, and do offer sound commercial reasons as to either opening up an operational office from or to simply purchase into a market where capital appreciation and high rental returns can be achieved.

Middle Eastern markets as well as Far Eastern Markets such as South Korea, Malaysia and China all represent growing markets from a relatively low base. As these markets mature the next decade or so could see these regions over run and exceed the costs and returns achieved in once what was the strongest markets worldwide. London UK, New York and Tokyo will see very strong competition from Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Mumbai and Shangai as in terms of attractiveness for business owners and investors.

Dubai Property Market continues to boom

The property market in Dubai is set to grow much faster over the next decade, compared to the past 10 years. Evolving regional stability along with planned new development initiatives will continue to attract regional and international investors to Dubai.

The decision to allow non-UAE citizens to purchase freehold property has provided a major boost to the property development sector, kick starting a diverse range of projects that have encouraged foreign investment. The UAE's political and economic stability, combined with a tax-free environment and the high rate of return on investment will continually aid the property market.

Driven by vision, the city is going to attract a lot of quality and knowledge workers to the Emirate which will drive future growth in the property market. Currently the supply seems to be less sufficient with the projected demand which is expected to cause high appreciation in the years to come. There will be continuous demand for real estate property at the mid to high segment of the market, and parallels phased growth schedules charted out by major real estate developers.

Cyprus Property Market Outlook

Cyprus changed their currency to the Euro in Janaury 2008 which is being seen as highly beneficial to the island’s property market and the change means that interest rates are likely to coem down as this will be seen as very beneficial to the local buying market as well as the expat and investor market.


Prices may increase by as much as 50% over the next year or so acoording to many analysts who have been predicting a dramatic growth in the property market of Cyprus. In that the island naturally has limited land space these predictions are quite likely to play out as larger portions of the nation are developed and less space is left for further construction projects to take place which in turn strengthens the market.
