NEW YORK CITY-Residential sales prices, among the most battered of economic fundamentals during the downturn, continued rallying this spring, with S&P Dow Jones Indices reporting the biggest gains for its S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices in years. Average single-family and multifamily home prices increased 11.6% and 12.1% for the 10- and 20-City Composites, respectively, in the 12 months ending in April. Month over month, the two indices rose 2.6% and 2.5%, respectively.
“The recovery is definitely broad based,” David Blitzer, chairman of the index committee at S&P Dow Jones Indices, says in a release. “The two composites showed the largest year-over-year gains in seven years,” while both composites also posted “their highest monthly gains in the history of S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Indices.” As a result, home prices are now back at early-2004 levels, according to S&P Dow Jones Indices.

Here comes the next boom and bust housing market cycle
Here comes the next boom and bust cycle. Wall Street Stocks have Money flowing in that needs to be placed. With out regard for the impact and consequences to the local markets.
"The last time the housing market was this hot in Phoenix and Las Vegas, the buyers pushing up prices were mostly small time.
Nowadays, they are big time — Wall Street big."
Large investment firms have spent billions of dollars over the last year buying homes in some of the nation’s most depressed markets. The influx has been so great, and the resulting price gains so big, that ordinary buyers are feeling squeezed out. Some are already wondering if prices will slump anew if the big money stops flowing.
“The growth is being propelled by institutional money,” said Suzanne Mistretta, an analyst at Fitch Ratings. “The question is how much the change in prices really reflects market demand, rather than one-off market shifts that may not be around in a couple years.”
Wall Street played a central role in the last housing boom by supplying easy — and, in retrospect, risky — mortgage financing. Now, investment companies like the Blackstone Group have swooped in, buying thousands of houses in the same areas where the financial crisis hit hardest.
Blackstone, which helped define a period of Wall Street hyperwealth, has bought some 26,000 homes in nine states. Colony Capital, a Los Angeles-based investment firm, is spending $250 million each month and already owns 10,000 properties. With little fanfare, these and other financial companies have become significant landlords on Main Street. Most of the firms are renting out the homes, with the possibility of unloading them at a profit when prices rise far enough.

Average Home Size growing due to several Factors
For the past three years, the average size of
new homes has been on the rise. The median new-home size in 2012 reached
a record high at 2,306 square feet, according to newly released data
from the Census Bureau. That is an 8 percent increase from 2009.
Some consumers are choosing to buy larger because they have more people under their roof. Lennar offers homes known as Next Gen, which feature separate suites for a mother-in-law or college grad who has moved back home.

First TRC in Croatia. Excellent Referral and Networking Source
Discovering a TRC in an Undiscovered Destination.
The TRC network has gotten a little broader with the addition of Vida Kolobraric, a luxury home specialist from Zagreb, Croatia. Lacking the structure of an association, Vida is working to connect with professionals through European groups and luxury home specialists. "I would like to be recognized as a professional and respectable agency which provides an individual approach to each client," says Vida.
Discover Croatia.
Whether the Istrian peninsula in the northwest with its Tuscany-like
countryside or the southern Dalmatian coast with inhabited islands Brac
and Hvar and the UNESCO World Heritage City Dubrovnik, overseas buyers
find lots to love in Croatia. Many foreign buyers first discover Croatia
as a tourist. Between Jan. and Aug. 2012, almost 10 million tourists (a
4.2% increase over the same period 2011) visited the country. Data from
the European City Tourism Monitor shows that Zagreb saw a 17% increase
in international overnight visitors for Jan.-Apr. 2013. Germany sends
the largest number of visitors (21.3%), followed by Slovenia (12.9%),
Austria (9.2%), Czech Republic (8.4%) and Italy (5.7%).
EU Membership.
Croatia is set to become the 28th European Union member state on July 1, 2013. Since Croatia applied for membership in 2003 both the country and the EU have experienced an economic downturn. EU membership could, in the short-term, worsen the situation for Croatia, although Croatian president Ivo Josipovic is confident that the resulting EU trade and investment will outweigh any downsides. In a recent speech EU Commissioner Štefan Füle outlined the positive impact of trade between new and old EU states and the resulting job/market growth
