 When you finally straighten out on an apartment that you are akin to, take time to investigate or do research the management company before signing on the dotted line. Be sure that the building manager will be receptive to all your needs and will pay attention to any problems as soon as they take place.

The collapse of the subprime market in the U.S. has made it harder for Japanese developers to borrow at the same time as building materials and land have become more expensive, Mori said. Sales volumes may extend last year’s drop and Japan’s slowing economy will make it harder to increase condominium prices. The government’s changes to building regulation last June produced a bottleneck in applications and sent housing starts to the lowest in 40 years in September. Housing starts started to recover this year, falling 5.7 percent in January compared with 44 percent in September. Japanese condominium sales may fall for a third year in 2008, according to the Real Estate Economic Research Institute, a Tokyo-based industry publisher.

Here’s an idea that is worth pursuing.  If you like to live in a no-neighbor zone, sea breeze running through your hair and the sound of romantic crashing watter… this one is for you.  According to plans for the lighthouses, the Cape Hatteras, Bodie Island, and Cape Lookout lighthouses will be sold by the state to be converted into waterfront condominium complexes. Access will be restricted to those wealthy enough to purchase a condominium on the property, although citizens can still “view the historic lighthouses from the road” according to the state.

The lighthouses were meant to be viewed from a distance anyway, as that was their original purpose of signalling ships far away,” said the state in a press release. The new plan to dispose of even more historic treasures owned by the citizens of the state was greeted with enthusiasm by at least one public official.

The Sophia condominium project’s receiver has begun sorting out which pre-sale buyers are willing to pay higher prices for their units to get construction back on track.

Their options are to agree to pay a price that is 90 per cent of current market value for their units, which in some cases is more than $100,000 higher than initial pre-sale contract prices they signed in late 2005 and 2006, or take their deposits back and walk away. Buyers can take their deposits back if they want, but the order authorizes Bowra to cancel contracts and sell units at current market prices if necessary.

Developer Bill Eden turned the project over to receivership at the end of February when some $4 million in cost overruns threatened to sink the 81-unit development.

Lets start with the bad news first. The median price for Seattle condos fell for the third consecutive month; it now stands at $305,000, a 3.3% decrease compared to October. And, as we�d expect with cyclical patterns, fewer condos were sold last month, though pendings transactions remained unchanged.

The good news? Overall, Seattle�s condo market performed very well in November. While the month over month figures show a downward trend in the median price, compared to a year ago, median price rose 2.5%, the 11th consecutive month that 2007 sale prices have outpaced 2006. Additionally, the number of closed sales increased 15.3% over the prior year. Buyers are still buying and sellers are still experiencing value appreciation.
