Real Estate Investment in PEI for Fun and Profit

Article by Ron Wesley

Investing in real estate, whether in PEI or elsewhere is surely a good investment in the long-term (and sometimes the short term too) as real estate, land, in other words, is the one thing that, while there is truly a constant requirement for more, is in all practical sense available in a finite amount. There is no new land being created (well in very special circumstances land is created).

However, while all real estate markets may in general go up over the long-term, some of the “hotter” markets are more volatile and the ride much wilder. These markets may not be for the “faint of heart” or more accurately those who do not have the extra money to be able to ride out lows in order to be positioned to enjoy the benefits of the highs. Remember if you buy a property today at $ 100,000 and tomorrow the market price goes down and the property is worth say $ 90,000, you may think you lost $ 10,000. However if you don’t sell you have lost nothing in actuality and quality real estate will always bounce back and appreciate in value. If, however, because of the need to realize capital you sold at $ 90,000, then you would actually have lost the $ 10,000.

That’s why if you are playing in the big markets you must have sufficient capital to “hang in”. PEI however offers a much less volatile market, with good potential for gains while minimizing the down-turns. Rate of return on most PEI real estate investments is a stable, moderate increase with one exception. Waterfront property is on the rise as indeed it is everywhere, however PEI can still boast waterfront properties priced well below other markets such as those on the eastern US seaboard.

Within the waterfront real estate market here on the island there are a variety of possible investments. You can buy summer homes ready to move into, existing subdivisions, simply buy a fully serviced lot and build, or you can still find tracts of undeveloped waterfront land that you can develop as subdivisions. Obviously the latter involves the most work and expense but also has by far the highest potential for returns.

However residential waterfront development is not the only area that is open to investment opportunities. Charlottetown, PEI’s capital, and Summerside, PEI’s second largest city, are both waterfront cities and both have ports as well as hi-tech infrastructure in place and, based on recent reports, more to come. Companies will locate to these cities as they see the benefit of an available and motivated workforce as well as commercial properties well below the cost to be found in other areas and with them they will bring employees to jump-start their businesses. Many of these people will stay and with the increased employment that industry will bring there will be an escalation in housing costs. So our workforce, coupled with available land and property, both residential and commercial, will be the attraction to bring industry to the island. Those who are well positioned now in these real estate markets could well stand to be in “on the ground floor”.

Perhaps you should check out the PEI real estate market. You can research online, then contact realtors that you find who handle the type of investment properties that seem the most likely to be profitable.

Learn about Anne Arundel County Real Estate

Article by Benicio Brown

Anne Arundel is a beautiful county based in Maryland, USA. The name actually derives from the UK, from the Anne Arundell, a member of the Arundells family. The capital of the state is actually Annapolis, which is one of the most popular places in the area to visit. It is a quiet and peaceful place with some wonderful views making it a real hotspot for real estate purchases. A lot of the homes that are purchased or rented are for vacation and get-away purchases, as the area is a great country retreat.

Anne Arundel County is home to over 500,000 residents, a population that has increased at a rapid rate over the last decade or so. Both Baltimore and Washington, D.C are easily accessibly, which means that it is not only a good place to live, but the potential for a professional career is just a short trip away. What gets most people that visit the area is the vast coastline. The country actually boasts over 500 miles of beautiful coastlines, which is adequately premium waterfront real estate, which is in extremely high demand. If that’s not enough, then there are plenty of activities available within the local community for all ages. The most popular include the likes of sports and extreme water sports, all kinds of fishing, crabbing and swimming.

For the younger people in the area there are two major skate parks which offer both fun and excitement. For the older people in the area there are over 70 country parks which work well with the nature reserves that are also open to the public on a daily basis. Anne Arundel caters for almost all ages and interests, so it is understandable why it is so popular for both residency and vacation related visits.

The only problem with the area is that if you visit, it is likely that you won’t want to return home. Don’t think this is a place for a ‘party’ retreat, but instead look at it as a place that embraces the good aspects of life. For instance, most mornings the 13-mile Baltimore and Annapolis Trail is a great place to visit. Here you’ll meet a range of hikers, joggers, bicycle riders and of course horse riders. Bird watchers are also a regular occurrence here. This is mainly due to the fact that there are a huge range of rare birds spotted on a regular basis such as heron, egrets and eagles.

If you are looking at purchasing real estate in the Anne Arundel County, then all of the above will aid the decision. If you are looking to move based on jobs and family based activities, then the following will definitely interest you. The local area is jam packed of action filled days and weekends for children and adults alike. There are camping weekends for youths as well as football and baseball home teams, that have had some decent success over the last couple of years. Of course, every year there is an annual Bay Bridge Walk, which is an experience not to be missed.

On the employment side of things, it is just as positive. Over the last few years the growth of employment in the area as been huge and has been recognised as one of the strongest in the state. On the flip side, the unemployment rate is also one of the lowest compared with surrounding areas. This makes it both a great place to purchase real estate and an extremely stable place to be employed.

Because of the desire to live and visit the area, residential and commercial investors are jumping on the real estate ladder. You’ll see a range of properties that have been developed to an extremely high standard. A lot of the properties that have been redeveloped by real estate professionals are available to rent for vacation rentals or even long term rentals. Quick research on local property sites will see the high demand that the area gets. Property prices are steadily rising and as the local residents develop the area to become even more active, it is likely that property prices will see a sharp rise over the next few years, regardless of the economic downturn.
