Real Estate / Poland Real Estate 2013 -drops in offer prices, lack of liquidity indicate market crashing [39]

Honestly I also was thinking its not a crash,just last week I offered 1 mil that was in market for 1.2 mil and I got counter offer for 1,020000 from the seller, second one was in market for 2.1 mil and I offered 1.7 and the seller offered for 1.8, and now I'm confused.the sellers are dropping 100/300k pln in just one counter offer, making me think it probably is a crash not a decline.and if this continues Poland will be great plaice to invest and make over 10% ROI.another factor I noticed is those properties that are dropping there prices so hard had not exchanged ownerships for a decade or more.

Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

Warszawski agreed 100%,even though the advertising prices haven't changed but actual selling prices have.i am saying that with first hand experience.sellers who are rigid about the prices are simply not selling,I know 3/4 properties personally which are in the market for over and year( for example there is a property in nowe bemowo rented by fresh point,being still advertised for 1.230mil the owner will accept 9.5 ,still not worth it,another is in sadiba rented to Polska poczta asking 2.2 owner will take 1.65, still all advertised for orignal prices) these are good rental yields of about 10% and over but there rental agreements are not good and property if vacated is worth 1/2 the price..but again they might find some stupid English teacher who thinking 10% yield is good and buy it without doing his home work.i am now in process of buying one at almost 50% less advertised price with my conditions,and this one is not even advertised at all by the realtors.

Law / Looking for investment ideas/options in Poland 150k-200k CND [6]

Since you haven't been to Poland almost a decade you will not know the current business climate in Poland as it has changed and changing drastically.then again depends how much work would you like to do with that type of investment and how much return would you want for it.the investment return can vary from 1% to 40% depending on the type of input.

Law / Looking for investment ideas/options in Poland 150k-200k CND [6]

Delphi lets do some factual math..... Cost of renting a warehouse minimum 12 k plus vat a month plus utilities,securities insurance etc will be around minimum 50 k pln,cost of product at least 50 k,cost of staff maybe 20 k plus taxes,then transporting costs,poor guys will have to survive atleast a year to even start seing some cash flow?you think he can?lol and like u mentioned that product( jack 3d) is banned during the process?

But it sure is a good idea for a prospective financial suicide:)

Life / New To Warsaw. Where can i buy household items, bedding etc? [25]

Without knowledge of Polands life style and geography I would suggest you go to carrefour in galeria mokotovwhere they sell it all and cheap brands.used pots and pans,silverware they also have some cheap quality stuff to last you ,and wont hurt you to leave them behind aswell.bazaars if any around there by pualska might cost you same or very close as well.
