The UK based overseas property portal
Rightmove overseas has released figures indicating that, Bulgaria, Cyprus,
Madeira, Turkey and India could be the sought after destinations for international real estate buyers.

The report from Rightmove overseas seems to indicate that
the regions that are being researched by potential buyers are seemingly holiday
destinations.
My experience operating Homesgofast.com has shown that the overseas property sector is strongly
aligned to holiday destinations. Foreign buyers often sample the life in the
region as a holiday maker and fall in love with the location. Investors tend to go where the transport links are good
and house prices low.

Interest in Cypriot property is up. It comes as no surprise that buyers have
been curious about Cyprus and that searches are up for Cypriot property The
combination of the banking crisis and house prices falls,  buyers will looking to see what
they can get with their money. We all love a bargain and buying below market value can often mean a profit is made on the purchase!
 

A property search at international portal
Homesgofast.com reveals that Paphos, Larnaca, Limassol, Famagusta and
Nicosia regions are all offering great
value for money. You can find a cheap holiday apartment for less than 125,000
GBP is this the time to buy?

The Portuguese Island of Madeira also saw a
substantial increase in interest with searches having risen 105% month on month
and Turkey has risen to 11th most popular destination, replacing Germany.

Property for sale in United Arab Emirates saw
increases and so did Bulgaria and India.Will Dubai see the huge demand of previous years?

Bulgarian regions Varna, Burgas, Dobrich and Sofia remain
places of high interest Homesgofast.com feature several houses in need of
repair for under £10K!

My thoughts are that the previously boom regions of the world are still attractive destination and that there will be pent up demand for international
real estate. Investors and lifestyle buyers will want to move on with their
lives and their plans to buy abroad.

The trend for overseas buyers with a desire for
Spanish property appears to be one where they head for the Spanish islands. Proof of this is that Mallorca features
in the Rightmove report as the most searched area in Spain by buyers.

‘March saw a record 5.4 million searches
conducted on Rightmove Overseas. Traditional relocation destinations such as
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa all fell in activity and emigration thoughts
turn to summer holidays,’ said Shameem Golamy, head of Rightmove Overseas.
