The list of the top greenest U.S. cities to live has been compiled by Country Home magazine based on the data provided by Sperling’s BestPlaces.
The survey was conducted among 379 major metro areas in the country where more than 80 % of America’s residents live and the rankings were based on several green parameters. The cities were derived from 24 data metrics in 5 major categories including air and watershed quality, mass transit usage, usage of green power, farmers’ markets, organic producers and groceries, the number of green-certified buildings and more.
Burlington, Vermont topped the list of greenest U.S. cities in America. Several green programs make this city the greenest place to live. Its 40,000 residents appreciate the importance of green living and the community, businesses and the government, have made green living their priority.
The second best green city in the U.S. – Ithaca, NY, has over 16 % residents who walk to work – the highest percentage in the country. This along with bike riders, mass transit users and home office workers makes Ithaca’s commuters the greenest in the nation.

Generally, Europe has fared better than the U.S. in real estate market troubles over the last three years. France is an excellent example, with a market that, though down, did not experience the depth of price and demand drops evident elsewhere around the globe. Recently, Dr. Robert Shiller, noted co-founder of the Case-Shiller Home Price Indexes in the U.S., was quoted as saying “France’s Real estate Economy has performed markedly better than most international indexes. France and Germany are leading the the European rebound.” He went on to comment that the 10 year prospects for real estate in France looked quite upbeat. A recent report from the FNAIM, the national association for real estate agents in France, indicated that prices may be stabilizing, with lower drops by a third in August than those in July. The same report stated that prices over the last 12 months dropped 7.2% for apartments and 8.9% for homes. This was less volatile than markets in the neighboring UK and Spain. Other positive news: * Athena Mortgages, with offices in London and Paris, reports that there has been a significant rise in inquiries from investors about financing property purchases in France. Sextant French Property Agents reports a 30% rise in inquiries and a 15% rise in sales in August over July’s numbers. John Luke Busby, director at Athena Mortgages has this to say: “There’s a feeling among prospective buyers of French property that we’re now in the bottom of the trough and that if they don’t make the move soon, they will lose out on some of the most competitive prices to be had in a long, long time. This is reflected in the growing number of estate agent inquiries and mortgage applications.”It’s not just residential market improvement, as the commercial French real estate sector seems to be doing better as well. The commercial market was static the first quarter of 2009. This followed two years of reduced sales and valuation declines, and appears to have signaled stabilization in the markets. Three big recent deals show that the market may be on the mend: * A major Paris retail outlet at Rue du Faubourt Honore was purchased. In the summer a German firm snapped up offices in Lyon. Another Parisian store, in the famous Boulevard Haussmann, has been bought. The big picture in French real estate is one of improvement and brighter prospects going forward than markets have exhibited over the last two years.

Moscow, the Russian capital, is the most expensive city in the world for cost of living followed by London, UK and Seoul, South Korea in the second and third position. The findings are based on the annual Cost of Living Survey conducted by Mercer Human Resource Consulting. Moscow tops the list for the second consecutive year while London has moved up from its third place last year.
The survey covering 143 cities across six continents compared the cost of over 200 household items in each city including housing, transport, food, clothing, household goods and entertainment. MNCs and governments use this cost of living survey to determine compensation allowances for their expatriate employees.
Here are the top 15 most expensive cities in the world for cost of living, according to the survey.
1. Moscow, Russia
2. London, United Kingdom
3. Seoul, South Korea
4. Tokyo, Japan
5. Hong Kong, Hong Kong
6. Copenhagen, Denmark
7. Geneva, Switzerland
8. Osaka, Japan
9. Zurich, Switzerland
10. Oslo, Norway
11. Milan, Italy
12. St. Petersburg, Russia
13. Paris, France
14. Singapore, Singapore
15. New York City, U.S.
Of the six continents, Europe dominated the list with six of its cities in the top ten and about 30 in the top 50 rankings. Asian cities also figured mostly in the top 10 most expensive cities, lead by Seoul, South Korea. Five Africa cities were placed in the top 50, lead by Douala, Cameroon in 24th place. The least expensive city was Asuncion, the capital of Paraguay, for the fifth consecutive year, among the 50 cities ranked by Mercer. But none of the cities of Latin America or Canada made it to the top 50. U.S.A had only two cities – New York City and Los Angeles (42nd rank) featured in the top 50, owing to a weak U.S. dollar.
If you are interested in buying a home, condominium, or any other type of real estate in any of these cities, be sure to contact a local Realtor who can advise you about local market factors.

The best place to invest in Europe Real estate Romania has proven to be a safe place with high capital appreciation especially in the Bucharest area. Romania is currently undergoing major infrastructural developments which will see further capital growth all over the country. “The growth trend is expected to carry on for the next 5 years” says Damien Thiery from Romanian Properties Ltd, who adds: “Romania joining the EU January 1st 2007 along with the development of tourism on the Black Sea coast and in Transylvania, will prove that Romania in the years to come will have one of the fastest growing economies in Europe”. The “Super Highway” between Constanta and Budapest which will go through Bucharest and Brasov will be a critical element in securing Brasov’s role in Eastern Europe on a long-term basis. Not to mention that low cost airlines will soon fly to several cities in Romania lead by Wizz Air who has announced scheduled flights from London Luton to Bucharest in January 2007. British citizens are increasingly purchasing properties in Romania – Romania property either as investment in Romania or holiday homes.

Where to buy in Romania

The scenery in Romania is stunning and unspoilt, the cost of skiing is very low compared to the rest of Europe, the coast is superb and the Romanians are very welcoming. As a pure investment or even as a holiday home or apartment, Brasov in Transylvania offers one of the highest potential returns as its location near the ski resorts, its infrastructural developments (new airport to be completed in 2008, “Super Highway”), and its lovely traditional town center makes Brasov one of the most sought after locations in Romania. Romanian Properties Ltd currently offers the opportunity to purchase off-plan apartments in Brasov built to Western-European standards at 900 Euro/sqm. The coast and its sandy beaches will see a high development of tourism from Western Europeans who are only starting discovering the beauties of Romania. The investments in Bucharest (shopping centers, off-plan, resales) started a few years ago, and as such the prices have already gone up in and around Bucharest. The potential, though still substantial, needs to be assessed very carefully. Prices are very cheap in rural areas but you need to be prepared to spend some time and to have renovation expenditures for your property for sale in Romania to achieve British standards.

Steps to buying in Romania

Doing your research as well as finding a well-established agent based both in Romania and in the UK are key when purchasing in Romania. No capital gain tax when selling your property 3 years after the purchase of your property makes your investment in Romania worth while. You will need to raise the cash as mortgages are currently not available yet to foreigners. Should you wish to buy a villa or a plot of land in Romania, you will need to set up a company which is a very simple process – your estate agent should assist you with it. Purchasing a new or off-plan apartment can be carried out in your name without requiring a company formation.

Dubai… A great place to live and property investment!

The Dubai Properties and Real Estate Blog is a resource center for international property investors. Being the commercial hub of the Arab world, Dubai saw property boom since 2002 when the government had permitted foreigners to invest in Dubai properties in order to boost Dubai and as well as the whole UAE real estate market.. For a few years now, some have been saying that the Dubai property bubble was about to burst and that a property crash was just around the corner. Yet, prices kept increasing and such doom mongering proved unfounded. The Dubai property market is unique in many ways, and as such doesn’t follow the general rules of other property markets around the globe and other Middle East property markets. The current rate of return on UAE property investments is in the region of 10 – 15 percent per annum, with this rate expected to continue for the foreseeable future, and rental yields in excess of 10% are further evidence of strength in the property market. The growth in the tourism industry of Dubai has been phenomenal with the 3.4 million visitors in 2001 expected to rise to over 6 million in 2010 – from a standing start the area is becoming a magnet for overseas visitors. Many of Dubai’s property developments set out to emulate the most prestigious residential addresses in the world. However, the less glamorous middle-income gulf or Middle East real estate market is increasingly drawing the attention of savvy investors. Dubai Properties is one of the biggest and has said it will deliver 5,000 units to the freehold market in 2008 which is not nearly enough to meet surging demand. Abu Dhabi property market will not deliver a single new real estate unit this year, and deliveries will only start late in 2009, and that creates additional demand in Dubai.

The Mediterranean island of Malta has recorded the strongest growth in property prices from countries in the European Union, and recent news could help see property inflation in double figures for the next few years. Malta is not only a tax efficient location with beautiful costal properties for sale or rental, but its warm climate, beautiful sea and days full of sun will help you relax and retire in a friendly and safe environment for Mediterranean property investment. Sustained property inflation at levels seen in Malta are rarely seen in other countries, but new economic activity on the island could see property demand at good levels for some years to come. The introduction of low cost flights to Malta from the UK will open up the possibility of more international real estate investors looking at the island for holiday homes that could be used for long weekends, and the Malta hotels industry could reap the benefits of the 3 and 4-day tourist seeing the island as a viable place to visit. After some years of wondering how Malta property market would fit into the modern world, property agents, hotel owners and the Malta holidays industry are beginning to see the future with some optimism.

Due to the gains in housing equity in the past 20 years, more people have been seeking to invest in housing, rather than other forms of investment. In the UK there has been a rise in the number of private buy to let investors. Similar to an increase in the buy to let sector, there has also been an increase in demand for houses from oversees property buyers. This has had a significant effect in boosting real estate demand, especially in London. In terms of land mass the UK is an incredibly small country yet it attracts amongst the highest levels of immigration in the world. the supply of property is always restricted in the UK and that exaggerates price swings and ensures a recovery. Those more patient buyers from Arabia will find themselves well rewarded.
