"History, real solemn history, I cannot be interested in.... I read it a little as a duty; but it tells me nothing that does not either vex or weary me. The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars and pestilences in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all - it is very tiresome." Jane Austen spoken by Catherine Morland in 'Northanger Abbey' ​

Observations by Martin Armstrong on Global Real Estate

"The high end has been bought by Europeans and Chinese trying to get off the grid."




Edited & bulleted from July 12, 2014 armstrongeconomics.com

  • U.S. real estate market remains very diverse.
  • U.S. high end bought by Europeans and Chinese trying to get off the grid. 
  • Chinese biggest buyers on price of U.S. real estate.
  • Canadian biggest buyers on quantity of U.S. real estate.
  • Prospects of bail-ins coming in Canada.
  • Texas & Florida property cannot be seized even in a court judgment.
  • Hawaii topping the list of U.S. price advances.
  • Europe's real boom was clearly in London real estate.
  • Germany’s house price rises slowing, yet are still positive.
  • South German house prices are extremely cheap.
  • Germany’s overall house price index slowed for 7th consecutive month at April 2014 after the September 2013 high.
  • Lithuania’s demand for, and new construction of, property is recovering gradually as its economy has produced growth. 
  • Copenhagen and Denmark experiencing a real estate boom as prices rise and may soon surpass pre-financial crisis levels.
  • Armenia’s property market recovering gradually following several years of falling house prices and now being driven by the inflow of wealthy Armenians from Russia and ethnic Armenians from Syria trying to escape political turmoil.
  • Chinese average prices of new homes in 100 major cities fell 0.3% M/M (April-May 2014); the first decline since June 2012.
  • China’s share markets peaked in 2007 and the bulk of domestic capital moved into real estate causing a great worry that banks would soon be overstretched with bad loans to developers as many projects were left vacant.
  • Shanghai has a (low) supply problem. Demand keeps rising sustaining prices at high levels. 
  • China-style housing bubble is concerning.
  • China's weaker real estate market means less cement being poured and less copper being purchased and that impacts the commodity prices in the West, which have declined. 
  • China's real estate market is similar to the land boom in the 1830's USA more than the 2007 bubble created entirely by bankers.
  • Macau’s property prices continued to dramatically surge even after double-digit annual prices rises in recent years. 
  • Macau residential property prices skyrocketed about 50% Y/Y in 2013.
  • Myanmar’s property prices and rents have surged with new government allowances since 2011 and from a sharp increase in overseas investors and persistent land and building shortages.
  • South Korea’s house prices are rising after more than a year of falling house prices and a 2014 recovery of robust economic growth.
  • Singapore’s house prices now starting to fall from the problem of hunting expats by Europe and American governments despite a reasonable rate of economic growth.
  • Malaysian house prices continue to rise even following anti-speculation measures.

    History, Charts & Curated Readings

    "Progress, far from consisting in change, depends on retentiveness. When change is absolute there remains no being to improve and no direction is set for possible improvement; and when experience is not retained, as among savages, infancy is perpetual. Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it." George Santayana Vol. I, Reason in Common Sense
