It would appear another warning shot has been fired over the bows of the American high-end property market. Following on from The First Wall Street Bonus Casualty of 2008, it appears another high end property may be joining the bargains available in Florida.
Well, it’s certainly nice to know this blog is being read by those in the know. Following Ahmed’s predictions that Panama is a bubble about to burst, the Panamanian government has obviously come to the same conclusion and decided to step in and do something about it.
The first warning shot has just been fired across the bows of Manhattan’s high end property sector. Douglas Heddings, of New York real estate blog, True Gotham has just reported:
“Well I knew that the day would come when a voice on the other end of the phone would say, “We’re in a holding pattern because my bonus wasn’t anything like I thought it would be.” That day has indeed arrived as one of my team members informed me that he received just that phone call last week from one of his buyers who was in line to purchase a $2,900,000 property at The Rushmore.”
What’s hot, what’s luke warm and what’s looking chilly in the property investment world for 2008?
Ahmed firmly believes Panama is a bubble about to burst and is to be avoided in 2008, Spain needs selling ASAP and the U.S offers some opportunities in select markets.
The ‘House of Patels’, which is one of India’s largest conglomerates has come to an arrangement with Parsvnath, a renowned Indian developer to promote PRIDEASIA

Dubai. First trip this year is to get my Dubai properties registered. If, like me you have purchased property in Dubai recently, it is important to register the purchase with the Dubai Land Department.
A massive change in the value of the dollar, combined with soaring building costs is changing the face of the international property investment markets. We highlighted a few likely markets recently in “The Top Ten Property Investment Hotspots for 2008,” but thought another look around the world’s investment property markets was in order. Ahmed believes the Panama property bubble is about to burst, but my feeling is there are a few more good years to be had from this market and properties such as the Trump Ocean Club under construction in Panama City will be a good earner. My feeling is the Hotel/Condo arena is the way to go in emerging markets. And with a few exceptions down in Florida, anything with “The Donald’s” name on it is a good bet. Of course, when we talk about Panama real estate, we are talking about Panama City only. The rest of the country has yet to see the sort of infra structure needed to support these sort of developments.
As a professional overseas property investor, I am only too aware that I am constantly one mistake away from bankruptcy – that’s all it takes – one investment gone awry, one condominium building that didn’t get built, a sudden unexpected drop in the market, a burst real estate bubble, and I am back to washing dishes. Well, maybe not quite that bad – I might have to sell one of the Bentleys, which would be almost as much of a disaster.
