Follow on Google News | Bulgaria - from Investment Hotspot to Lifestyle ChoiceAs Bulgaria morphs from a world ranked investment hotspot to a lifestyle choice for thousands, a new advice and assistance website service is launched at www.bulgariagateway.net
By: Bulgaria Gateway Because of the financial stability and positive GDP established over the past decade, Bulgaria has managed to withstand today’s global economic challenges better than just about any other country in Europe. That said, the property investment bubble of the past few years is now well and truly burst and the housing market has returned to its proper position - namely, thousands of village houses, city apartments and resort properties for sale at realistic and sustainable prices. In short, there are still few other places in the world that offer the same sort of housing and lifestyle opportunities as Bulgaria In their recently published Market Overview for H2 - 2009, Colliers International noted a number of key local factors, including: • average monthly salaries increased by 3% in Q1 2009 • at 7.1%, year on year unemployment in May 2009 was just 0.8% up • year-on- • property sale prices fell by an average of 10% The overall projection of the report was that, given the moderately positive outlook and the fundamental health of the Bulgarian economy, the residential market is expected to start recovering in the first half of 2010. In other words, the people of Bulgaria are currently enjoying a relatively comfortable financial position, reasonably stable employment opportunities and rising income levels. Add the foreign buyers purchasing homes for emigration into this equation and, despite the impact of the global economic downturn, it’s easy to see why Bulgaria’s residential sector is currently outperforming that of most other European countries. It is no longer the dream of a holiday home in the sun that is driving property purchase. The trend to buy a home abroad has now moved to a new level with more and more people buying with the intention of emigrating. The number of Britons living in Bulgaria has doubled in the past year, with more than a thousand British families given long-term residency here. And for those who may be thinking of joining them, there is now a new website service available at http://www.bulgariagateway.net. While there is a wealth of detailed advice available about finding and buying the right property in the right location in Bulgaria, there is very little information about what life here is actually like. So, whether you are planning a trip for a relaxing holiday break, a travel adventure, a property purchase - or if you are thinking of moving here permanently - Bulgaria Gateway offers the ideal starting point with accommodation, resources, services and a single source of advice and assistance for everybody visiting Bulgaria. # # # About Bulgaria Gateway After five years of permanent residence in Bulgaria, the British directors of Bulgaria Gateway Ltd operate the website at www.bulgariagateway.net as a single source of information, advice, assistance and support for those considering moving to Bulgaria End
