Selling condominiums might have been a tough task a while back but there has been an increase of people purchasing them off late. Such has been the case in the Arizona Republic that recently saw the opening of Bridgeview, a luxury condo tower on the south shore of Tempe Town Lake. The 12-story tower has views of the lake and bridges (and so the name) as well as neighbouring towns and the mountains. The $140 million building is situated on the 17-acre Hayden Ferry Lakeside mixed-use site that also includes office space and retail. A luxury hotel might also be constructed here. A few features at Bridgeview are a lounge, a library with a fireplace, a business centre, a demonstration and catering kitchen, a dining room/supper club, a home theatre, billiards room, a gym with a sauna and steam r

Bangkok's luxury condominium market will become more active this year and the new supply will continue to be limited, according to leading international property consultants CB Richard Ellis.The high-end and luxury markets, which faced a slight slowdown in 2007 mainly due to the low market sentiment, will become more active in 2008. Last year, the main focus in the Bangkok condominium market was in the mid-range market where projects are located close to the skytrain or other mass transit system. This segment will continue to grow and become more competitive.Investors are aware that freehold land plots in prime central locations are very limited and the increase in land prices has resulted in a drop in the new supply of luxury units in these areas, whereas demand for downtown city living i

This last week we had 550 units showing as either Active or Under Contract, from which, 66.18% (364) listings were Active, 22 condos as new listings (4%), 39 condos as Continue to Show (7.09%).19 Condos (3.45%) showed a reduction in price, and 84 condos (15,27%) went under contract.The average median listing price this week was $441,244.It is interesting to take a look at the different Median Listing Prices. As you can see, MLP from high to low follows this order:Condos Under Contract (Sale Pending), Active Condos, Condos (New Listings), Continue to Show Reduced Price. I would infere from these figures that new listings show some more adjusted prices. Sellers seem to be adjusting their expectations to what the market is actually expecting: They priced their properties above those properties that already have offers (CTS - Continue to Show) and below what is currently on the market.Nestor N.

Though condos can built anywhere, perhaps one of the most appealing things about them is that they afford people a high quality lifestyle in expensive high-density areas. Million dollar luxury condos aside, condominiums in desirable areas are typically cheaper than single family homes. If you work and play in the city, buying a condominium can put you in the right place at the right time - all the time.CONDOS - HOW DO THEY DO IT?The term condominium refers to a type of ownership rather than type of unit. Condos can be low rise, high rise, lofts, warehouse spaces or ground level town homes. When you buy a condo, you own the unit as well as a share of all common amenities: shared spaces, facilities and services. In some cases, condominium owners also own the land the unit sits on.Essentially, what's shared and how it's shared defines the nature of condominium ownership. In contrast, single family homeowners are wholly responsible for everything themselves. This gives them greater auton
I have decided to add Las Vegas High-Rise pages to my Las Vegas Real Estate web site within the next month. In order to provide real information to my customers I will try to provide them with a grading system for Las Vegas high-rise condominiums. The grading system is as follows:Las Vegas is definitely not New York, Paris, London or Tokyo when it comes to transportation, so a prospective high-rise investor should be even more critical of the high-rise location when purchasing in Las Vegas. A subway system or complex mass transportation system is available in these other popular high-rise locations, where it is very easy and economical to get around. The only type of transportation available in Las Vegas outside of walking, cars and busses is a three mile monorail system. However, this system is often packed with the ever-growing need for an even larger mass transportation system. The most powerful location in Las Vegas, Las Vegas Boulevard which is better known as “The Strip”, mak

Mid-century elegance is the most apt description of the Decatur Condominiums on Seattle’s historic First Hill neighborhood.
Designed by the famed Space Needle architect John Graham Jr. in 1950, the Decatur is being restored and converted to condominium homes by the Wysong Group (e.g. Tobira, The Press).
The 13-story building at 1105 Spring Street (corner of Boren Ave) features 146 one- and two-bedroom homes. (map)
All homes include the following features:
Brazilian cherry wood floors in the entry & kitchen
Plush carpeting in the living and bedrooms
Slab granite countertops (dark or light) in the kitchen
Stainless steel electric appliances
Pedestal sinks and custom subway tiling in the bath
Octagonal rosette-patterned tile floor in the bath
There are four floor plans to choose from:
The Dean - one-bedroom units ranging from 520 to 560 sq ft (floor plan)
2-7th floor, $219,950 to $279,950
8-13th floor, $254,950 to $314,950
The Taylor - one-bedroom units ranging from 590-650
Stylish and affordable; a combination not found around the downtown Seattle core neighborhoods much these days. While many developers have their eyes set on building new landmark towers, the Wysong group has focused on providing comfortable, well-designed, moderate priced homes for the average person. Two recent projects are the Tobira Condominiums and the Decatur.
The Tobira Condominiums, formerly the Empress Apartments, is a 5 year old building situated at the cross section of the financial district, Pioneer Square and the International District at 108 5th Avenue South, Seattle. (map - note, the building is South of Yesler)
The project includes 88 studios, one-, one+den, and two-bedroom homes ranging in size from approximately 440 to 1,016 square feet. The preferred lender is Homebase Mortgage, a Countrywide company.
Tobira has set aside 14 units for the first release which are available now.
Studios - 4 units available, ranging from $179,950 to $234,950
One bedrooms - 8 units a
