Europeans and professional chefs have known this awhile, but induction is finally catching on in the States.

also, I’ve had clients who are afraid of gas and CO poisonings — mainly Europeans..Good luck

These complexes do sell though mostly to European and Chinese investors (who’d have thought that !!??).

The US will follow the European model - first time home buyers may be unable to afford a SF in the suburbs, so their first purchase will be a condo.

Other sources are Berkadia which puts out a report recapping the past year and forecasting the coming year for most major markets.

I am Eastern European and I never ever, ever trust what someone tells me until I verify 3 times, but guess what, this time I took it and even applied for very appetizing finance. ( No payments for 24 months and after the 25 month if the $6k is not paid, it turns into a loan with 17.99% interest. ) Oh, I also received a Gift Card for $75, ain't that nice?

The Golden Visa program offers residency permits to non-European Union citizens who invest in Portuguese real estate, opening the doors to European living and travel.

@Aly Vizcarra @Douglas SpenceJust FYI if you ONLY use Airbnb to get bookings (as opposed to other sites like VRBO and Booking.com) you'll never have to worry about remitting any taxes as they collect and remit on your behalf (in most major markets, I imagine SD would be included on the list but look into this).

But TV and Twitter still say it is hot so it must be...Prices are still climbing in most major metros, but not Boston, and most people overestimate the level of appreciation seen here: http://www.zillow.com/blog/housing-confidence-inde...More towns, even very good ones, are seeing more places dropping the price to actually sell and more closings falling through as buyers realize that maybe paying $50K over asking while waiving all contingencies is well kind of a dumb thing to do: http://www.boston.com/real-estate/news/2015/07/28/...Foreclosures are up have and petitions have been going up by leaps and bounds for 16 months now.  

Come join us in that area :)Main St is getting a European style make over.
