BREAKING NEWS -- New Condos Online has recently begun a new campaign to increase exposure into our Latin American and Mexican markets by contacting fantastic new developments and featuring their projects on our site. We then take these great new projects and create pay per click advertising programs and optimize their listing to have a high organic search presence in yahoo, Google, and MSN respectively. New Condos Online has been making a specific push in these areas because we have seen a dramatic increase in traffic due in part to our continued high ranking listings but also due to the fact that New Condos Online is starting to gain momentum as a world wide resource for advertising new for sale attached housing, including -- lofts, townhomes, condos, condo hotels, condo resorts and row homes; New Condos Online recently began a special promotion for listing Single family homes as well.

Macro effects of foreclosure

Thimble — Wed, 14 May 2008 00:34:18 +0000

I read recently that foreclosures are becoming more and more common these days. Yes, that was sarcastic. Foreclosures, from what I have heard, are not fun to deal with. From getting a huge drop in your credit to not being able to ever buy a condo or home again for 7 years, foreclosures don't seem to be something that I would ever want to deal with. With that said, how are other people dealing with your foreclosure? More specifically, how are people in your community being affected by your misfortune? A large part of living in a community like a condo high-rise or a new home community is the fact that you need to pay certain "dues" each month. These dues can be a little as $75/month and can range up to $2500/month. Dues are used to keep a community running. For example, pools, trash, taxes, workout facilities, janoritorial duties and anything else your community requires needs extra money, known as "dues" to operate. What is now happening, is that neighbors and residents are forced to pay more as their neighbors are foreclosing on their new condos and/or new homes. This is just another example how the distressed housing market can and will directly affect your pocket. Beware and make sure that you budget enough for the following years!

Buy in a mixed-use development and save gas!

Thimble — Sun, 04 May 2008 12:37:21 +0000

So, Chevron - that somewhat big gas company - recently posted a little over a $5 Billion profit. That's $5,000,000,000.00!!!! With gas prices extremely high and with no notion of going south, consumers are looking for ways to save time in the car. I read about Chevron and I thought to myself that owning in a mixed-use condo development in a hip area would be a very smart idea. Think about how much gas you waste driving to the grocery store, drug store, coffee joint, gym, restaurants and whatever else, you use your car for. Now, just think if you lived in a mixed-use new condo. Many of these new developments possess the intangibles that are really starting add up. In San Diego, for example, many mixed-use San Diego condo developments are saving many residents of this city tons of money on gas. My friends who live downtown in a mixed use developments are seldom driving unless they are driving to and from work. They never use their car during the weekend as they have everything they need within a few floors from their condo. Even if you're not living in a mixed-use development, but living in a condo downtown, you're going to reap the benefits and hopefully not contribute to the wealth in the Middle East. Not to get poliitcal, but the majority of our oil comes from the Middle East. If you don't wish to contribute to this, then I would suggest the following, move to a urban area where you don't need a car. If you are in desparate transportation, by a bicycle.

Trump Ocean Club Sets New Standards in Panama

Frogman235 — Thu, 01 May 2008 09:59:41 +0000

Panama is one of the fastest growing real estate markets in the world; and Trump Ocean Club – one of the first luxury projects to enter the market, is “sailing” to the finish line. Utilizing strategic marketing and offering a quality product, this gorgeous landmark is half-way built and almost fully sold-out. Not all Panama City buildings, though, have the guarantee of Trump distinction and quality, which has resulted in an influx of marketing “tricks” to boost slow (or non-existent) sales.

One element of Trump Ocean Club’s success has been the team’s avoidance of short cuts or ploys, and a constant focus on creating (and delivering) the best, most exclusive and unique project in Panama. TOCs competitors have used all kinds of silly methods to save their projects, such as paying a celebrity to say they are "owners", throwing million dollar parties, giving away cars, etc. The buyers have been smarter than that – they simply want the best product on the market, and they found it at Trump Ocean Club. In reference to the recent celebrity tales heard around town, celebrities that buy in a Trump building know they will never broadcast their information. TOC respect’s their client’s privacy immensely, that's what make it so exclusive. The proof as they say is in the pudding – Trump Ocean Club has made constant sales each and every month, often tripling the numbers of even their closest competitors.

Luxury Condos in Costa Rica

Frogman235 — Thu, 01 May 2008 09:55:17 +0000

(February 21, 2008, Miami-FL)-Wyndham Resorts has set its sights on Costa Rica for their latest and most luxurious condo project; the real estate experts have chosen Jaco Beach as the grounds to create their exclusive and ultra modern property. Surrounded by stunning beaches and mountains, Wyndham Resort & Residences Jaco Beach offers the finest amenities combined with the world’s most breathtaking sights. Jaco Beach is one of the most desirable locations throughout Costa Rica for families, business travelers, and surfing aficionados alike. Yet, until now, options to own a luxury beachfront property in this “urban oasis” have been limited and sub-par. Wyndham Resort & Residences Jaco Beach will create a new model for luxury living and vacationing through their magnificent beach front condo-hotel in Jacó, Puntarenas.

Jaco Beach’s nightlife will be revolutionized by the chic Rooftop Sunset Bar atop the resort featuring breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. The bar will be the first of its kind on the beaches of Costa Rica. A plethora of activities will cater to the whims of everyone from surfers and fishers to golf enthusiasts with the area’s consistent waves, top sport fishing areas, and beaches. Of note will be the 18 hole golf course located less than 5 minutes from the property, as well as a public Marina for the avid boater and yachtsman. With such nearby activities and Costa Rica’s natural beauty, Wyndham Resort Jaco Beach will be a perfect destination for second home buyers, couples, and families.

Palmetto Bay Resort at Maya Beach will shine in Belize

Thimble — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:29:59 +0000

Belize is quickly coming onto the radar screen of many North American’s minds and is establishing itself as a popular ecotourism destination. The country which until recently was part of British Honduras, enjoys English as the official language, a strong, stable democratic government and a dollar that is fixed 2 to 1 against the U.S dollar. Real Estate in Belize is also becoming more popular due to Belize being the most affordable real estate in all of the Caribbean and the beautiful, un-crowded beaches. In fact, nearly 70% of Belize is either designated as National Park or is undevelopable. New Condos Online is excited to be working with an exciting project located on the Placencia Peninsula in Southern Belize.

Palmetto Bay Resort at Maya Beach is nothing short of spectacular. With 16 miles of white sandy beach clashing with the extraordinary Mayan Mountains and lush tropical scenery, owners will be in heaven in their new residence. The first phase of the gated resort, which is currently under construction, will be comprised of only 36 whole ownership, contemporary beachfront condominiums ranging from approximately 1,100 to 4,500 square feet, each with unobstructed views of the Caribbean Sea and extensive outdoor living space. Prices will start in the high $200,000s USD. I recommend that you check out Palmetto Bay soon!

Florida Condos Stealing Hotel Business

Frogman235 — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 09:28:01 +0000

As we have all heard, the strength of the Euro has improved European travel and spending in the United States. It has also kept certain real estate and condo markets afloat while others have been struggling. New York condos have continued to sell to wealthy Europeans and is a great example of a marketplace supported by the strong euro.

Investment is Florida condos has slowed while buyers wait to see what happens with the pending recession and the decline of the housing market. We are at or near the bottom and many realize that it is a good time to buy condos at a great value as long as one plans to hold onto the asset for a while. The Florida housing market may not be benefitting from European buyers as much as it was a year or two ago, but the condo rental market is strong. Many buyers have their homes, vacation condos, and investment condos up for rent. Some of the best renters out their now are Europeans. Florida is still a great place to live and a hot travel destination despite the economy. Europeans tend to stay longer than a few nights and come here to spend money!

Last quarter in some areas of Florida, condo rentals outperformed hotel occupancy. Vacationers enjoy the privacy and beachfront locations of many of the vacation condos up for rent. Most of the time, condo rentals in good locations have been much more expensive than hotel rates but that is not the case anymore. Owners want to ensure they have some rental income to assist with the mortgage payments...some is better than none!
