Foreign Direct Investments (FDI):
Declined in 2009
Declined in 2010
No sign for serious increase in 2011
Usually since the moment money enters, we should count
12 – 18 months in order for the money to spread in the real
economy
2011. Not positive forecast
How this indicator can be connected to a better Real
Estate Market as well :
From the moment we see FDI rising, we should expect
better moments to come in 12 – 18 months.

EU Funds:
Low level of absorption in 2009
Low level of absorption in 2010
Hopes for better results in 2011
Usually since the moment of approvals, we should count
6 – 18 months in order for the money to spread in the real

Major Public Works:
Very few in 2009
Very few in 2010
Without PPP, no serious hopes for much better results in 2011

12 – 30 months in order for the money to spread in the real
economy.
2011. The forecast is related to politicians.
How this indicator can be connected to a better Real Estate
Market as well :
From the moment we see Major Public Works being agreed and
signed, we should expect better moments to come in 12 – 30
months.
The main indicators that show us
the future of Romanian Real Estate Market
Banks:
Too many problems and most of activities blocked in 2009
More problems and unpaid loans in 2010
“War” between clients and banks.
Consequence : Banks even more defensive
2011 is expected to be the most difficult year of the banks
in Romania, for plenty of reasons.
Are we going to see many foreclosures?
Are the banks going to un-freeze loans for Real Estate
Investments (don’t bet on this scenario).
2011. The forecast is negative.
Exceptions confirm the rule.

Banks (2) :
2011. The forecast is negative.
Exceptions confirm the rule
How this indicator can be connected to a better Real
Estate Market as well :
Either when we see many transactions from banks’
portfolios, or when we see many transactions financed by
banks, it means that “the engine has carefully restarted”.
The financing of several retail projects, where the tenants
provide strong corporate guarantees, just allows the market
not to cease.
The main indicators that show us
the future of Romanian Real Estate Market
Foreign Investors :
They were the “locomotive” of the Real Estate Market’s
explosion during 2004 -2008.
Almost ....”disappeared” in 2009.
Extremely careful and selective in 2010.
90% of them search opportunities, also ask the banks for
possible “liquidations”.
10% of them slowly invest on real values, even when the
price is “more than nothing”
They will remain defensive in 2011.
Very few people realize that except the major investors, it
is vital for the market to re-gain the thousands of
“smaller” investors, investing 100.000 – 1.000.000 Euro
on properties.

Foreign Investors (2) :
2011. The forecast is negative
How this indicator can be connected to a better Real
Estate Market as well :
Without more and determined foreign investors, the local
demand is not sufficient in order to revive the Real Estate
Market next year.

Business Environment / :
(Political instability)
4 months of 2009 were “lost”
New measures were announced in 2010, while thousands
of rumours were spread.
Many small problems damage the business environment of
Romania, without any visible solution at the near future.
2011. How will Romanian politicians behave?
How this indicator can be connected to a better Real
Estate market as well:
If measures and solutions will be implemented, then in just
6 – 12 months time the business environment will be
drastically improved.

the future of Romanian Real Estate Market
Europe / World:
Crisis started in 2008
It continued in 2009.
It got worse in 2010.
Romania is connected to Western economies and it targets
to their revival, in order to rise as well
2011. The forecast is negative, except Germany
How this indicator can be connected to a better Real
Estate market as well:
From the moment we see Western economies exiting the
crisis, Romania is expected to follow after 9 – 12 months.
The main indicators that show us
the future of Romanian Real Estate Market
Mentality / Business approach:
Things were unbearable in 2008.
A small minority “woke up” in 2009..
This minority increased in 2010, but not enough..
Too many people still search for “easy money”, no matter
how they will obtain it, regardless the damage they might
create.
2011. More citizens will realize that 2011
has nothing to compare with 2006 – 2008
The main indicators that show us
the future of Romanian Real Estate Market
Mentality / Business approach (2):
Is it possible for a critical mass of people to improve its
attitude towards each other?
How this indicator can be connected to a better or
worse Real Estate market:
- If tomorrow morning the market gets unblocked and the
same people start playing the same games, searching for
idiots to trick, the prices will sky rocket in just few months
and everything will be blocked for some more years.
