Real estate platform and real estate tricks from Liveio? Liveio.com is a new real estate platform focused at helping real estate agents and individuals to sell real estate properties in Europe. We will also talk about some real estate business tricks mixed with some analysis of 2019-2020 real estate market trends in EU.
The interesting thing here is that Brexit is something that is more inside European investors than global investors coming from places like Asia or the Americas, for example. 83% of real estate professionals believe that there will be a difference in economic growth between the UK and the EU during 2020. In fact, more than 70% believe UK’s capacity to attract international investors will decrease after the Brexit date. Even though there is also social inequity, with the lack of social housing and senior care, this won’t be the main concern during 2020. Instead, the main focus will be on affordability as the prices are going up. According to PWC Global Trends Report, almost 50% of the interviewees believe prime assets are over-priced. This issue is especially relevant in markets like Spain and Portugal where the average wages are lower. However these markets remain pretty interesting for foreign investors as the prices per m2 are still lower when compared to it’s European peers.
Should you worry about low inflation when buying property abroad? Some investors ask about the lack of inflation and whether it still matters. Based on the understanding that we have always sold real estate on the following argument: because of inflation, your investment will always be protected — it’s a hedge protection. Today, however, we don’t have inflation or, if we do, it’s a mere few percent. When investors ask if it stills matters, the answer is yes. Inflation in the Euro area is currently at 1.3% as of June 2019, and is not expected to soar substantially in the coming years. If, for one reason or another, inflation were to recover further, real estate investors could benefit because, besides a potential rise in the value of their investments, rental contracts are generally indexed and reviewed upwards on a regular basis, as in the UK. A continuous, long-lasting lack of inflation would be bad news for a property investor. But in case of deflation, we also see a decrease of asset values, and that is no good news either. Inflation still matters, and we hope to have a return of a healthy inflation of 2% in the coming years – though, as ECB president Mario Draghi said, we must be patient.

Now let’s talk about several real estate tips for sellers: Book a photographer! A photographer can provide you with a great selection of high-quality photos; just make sure the one you pick shares your vision. The devil is in the details, so make sure all lights and televisions are on, and all wires are hidden. People are much more likely to buy a house when it looks absolutely perfect. Use the MLS wisely: MLSs are invaluable to the selling process. People often search for specific criteria (e.g. parking), so be honest and extremely thorough because people will call you out on misrepresentations. Take time to upload beautiful photos, and keep in mind that listings with over six pictures are viewed twice as often as those with less. Also be sure to respond instantly whenever you can.
Why settle for a platform that are just mainly constructed for the private buyer? Why not also design a service that include all partys at the negotiation table? And while we’re at it – why make distinction between the market place for selling and renting out? Liveio is a platform equally designed to meet the needs of the professional broker as the house hunting private individual. Motivated by the notion that the boundaries are nonexistent we added the opportunity for agents to pinpoint and establish contact with the right clients for the real-estate in question.
