		Given the boom in the property market over the past few years, at the very least house-buyers betting on further rapid house-price gains are likely to be disappointed.
		Third, a decline in property prices also leaves some households with homes worth less than the amount they have borrowed, so housing busts have a greater effect on banks, which are typically heavily exposed to real estate.
		Within the next year or so those bubbles are likely to burst, leading to falls in average real house prices of 15-20% in America and 30% or more elsewhere over the next few years, in line with average price declines during past housing-market busts.

	A Costa Blanca guide - buying a property in Spain
		The bubble does seem to be on the point of bursting and property prices are falling - regardless of what some estate agents tell you.
		Many people rent out their properties whilst they are not being used which then covers the cost of their mortgage, using one of the many property management companies to handle to contracts, collect the rent, pay the bills and generally keep an eye on the upkeep of the property whilst the owner is away.
		Check whether any infrastructure changes are planned in the area, many individuals have found that soon after buying a property, they loose half of their garden due to a compulsory purchase by the local authority to build a new road (see our article on the land grab act L.R.A.U).

	British Perspectives 2006 - Part Three
		British bosses try to overcome this deficit through an increase in the burden on the shoulders of the working class in the shape of stress, long hours and speed-ups.

	British property bubble - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		British property prices were at an all time nominal high in the late 1980s due to a prosperous economy (though both the prosperity and the property boom were highly restricted to the very South of England), the increasing quality of housing through an increase in newly built housing stock and newly leased right-to-buy council housing.
		Property prices fell by 30% through the early nineties due to then chancellor of the exchequer, Nigel Lawson, hiking the interest rate to discourage 'overheating of the economy', as he called it.
		Some property bears believe that a house price crash may actually lead to a serious economic crisis, in part due to the amount of debt that is currently underpinning the property market.

		Property prices in the MENA region will continue to hold steady and the real estate sector would witness sustained stable growth through 2006, as it was a developing sector catering to the huge shortage of family residences currently existing in the MENA and Indian sub-continent, said Mr.
		Alabbar explained that property in the MENA region is still a developing market and is not directly interlinked with the financial markets, as in mature economies.
		He however suggested that there could be a slowdown in the US property market if the proposed sudden rise in the country’s interest rates was implemented, leading to a fall in the value of the dollar and making Japanese and European imports into the US more expensive.

	Wikinfo \| Real estate bubble
		A real estate bubble or property bubble (or housing bubble for residential markets) is a type of economic bubble that occurs periodically in local or global real estate markets.
		It is characterized by rapid increases in the valuations of real property such as housing until they reach unsustainable levels relative to incomes and other economic indicators, followed by decreases that can result in many owners holding negative equity (a mortgage debt higher than the value of the property).
		In attempting to identify bubbles before they burst, economists have developed a number of financial ratios and economic indicators that can be used to evaluate whether homes in a given area are fairly valued or not.

	How healthy is the British economy?
		British capitalism's dependence on the rest of world's capitalists means that it has done well in the boom years.
		At the same time, rich property owners are using their wealth to buy more property to rent out to the poor.
		British capitalism's future has never been so closely tied to the movement of stock prices on Wall Street and the London Stock Exchange and on the 'confidence' of the speculators.

	Buy Property in Dubai!
		At the moment those looking to buy property in Dubai will see that local interest rates are far below what the economic state of the emirate suggests, furthermore inflation is relatively high and property prices when compared to the dollar equivalent are affordable.
		Apparently the realities of a common currency for property owners in Dubai are an upward surge in the value of their property following a revaluation of the local currency against the dollar of between 10 and 20% overnight.
		Naturally enough all of the excitement in the Dubai property market is causing a flurry of activity which is causing short term gains, depletion of property stock, intensification of demand and property investors with well placed assets are already benefiting from the speculation surrounding the common currency.

		The expiration of intellectual property upon the death of the inventor is incentive to kill inventors.
		My own view: The "ideal" system of intellectual property protection would have all the pros, and would either have laws to prevent the cons from occurring, or powerful economic arguments to prove that the cons could never occur, or powerful ethical arguments to prove that the cons were worth putting up with.
		Intellectual property should give the creator of an idea the exclusive (but transferable, sublicensable, etc.) right to make copies of that idea for other people (whether they are temporary copies, like radio broadcasts, or permanent copies).
