The Year the American Property Market Bounces Back
The Weis Group, a Wall Street Fund, and specialists in buying distressed real estate, raised further recently growing hopes that 2008 could be the year that American property prices bottom out and begin recovering. Last week The Weis Group told U.K. newspaper, The Times that it was in talks with some of America's big banks, about spending its 1billion dollar investment fund on purchasing hundreds of properties that had been reclaimed by the banks, with a view to selling in 3-5 years.
Many analysts have already put their money where their mouth is and stated that they believe 2008 will be the year of the U.S. recovery, a massive property investment specialist like Weis Group confirming their research will make their statements a virtual reality in the eyes of international property investors.
Liam Bailey, head of international research for David Stanley Redfern Ltd gave us his thoughts on American property.
"I have been saying for some time of the great irony: that the buying frenzy triggered by the U.S. subprime crash, as the combination weak dollar and falling property prices had people from the U.K. and around the world taking the opportunity to get their dream home/investment property in the states at a bargain price, might actually start a recovery in the American property market, and it seems I may not have been too far wrong."
David Stanley Redfern Ltd took on American property just last year, on that very belief, that the American property market had fallen almost as far as it was likely to, and the beginnings of a recovery were just around the corner. DSR's client's who have invested in the American property, could in 3-5 years, it seems, be very glad they did.
Managing Director of the overseas property specialist, David Redfern had this to say:
"It is always nice when you make a move that some people may quietly think is risky, and some of your competitors may even have a sly snigger, and it proves to be massively successful move for both you and your clients. As our research department said a few months back, and has maintained fervently ever since, 2008 looks like being the year the U.S. recovery will begin, but there still looks like being a little time for investors to get in on the low priced action."
