Post subject: Bulgaria's Economy In Trouble
Reply with quote

Just read an interesting article about the Bulgarian economy which is alarmingly predicting a financial crash which will start in May. Is it the right time to sell or buy? Judging by the article probably best to do neither. Then again the rest of Europe is in a similiar position, so whats the worry.

I would say definitely the time to BUY. Plenty of houses on the market, and NO buyers around - here, anyway

So you think the people who refuse to buy are stupid? But maybe they have good reasons... Wink You can buy shares of an almost bankrupt British bank as well. Believe it or not: Plenty of shares on the market. Laughing
To hope for an economic turnaround in these days is more than risky. But I would expect it for Britain more than for Bulgaria because of several reasons. We´ll see...

No, Pirol, that is NOT what I said. What I said was that it is a buyers' market -plenty of choice and prices will fall because of it . Same as the situation in the UK at the moment - we have had plenty of experience of this, but I appreciate it is a new concept in Bulgaria.

Depends on lots of factors and personal circumstances.

Looking at Foreign exchange - A general rule of thumb for any case like this is 50/50. And depending on your circumstances move 10% either way.

If you read Moneycorp's daily/weekly updates they will pretty much advise this practice every time.

Looking at Banks - is there a safe one anymore? Look at guarenteed limits etc. Also some banks in BG have accounts for GBP, which may be attractive to you?

Either way, as they say 'a nice problem to have' Wink

Good luck Laughing

It all depends on the question whether there will be enough buyers after the crisis who are ready to pay more than you would have to pay at the moment. Otherwise prices won´t rise and you sit on your property forever. Of course: if it´s a nice property which you want to use for yourself you don´t have to care.
