Where our vanished: the Russians are buying property abroad to be at home

The interests of Russian Realtors have not limit themselves to one-sixth of the land. Our compatriots in the past drawn attention far beyond the cordon of investing in real estate Montenegro, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, or at least, and even more readily than in the "native" square footage. And thanks to the notorious crisis procedures weaken the faith in the stability of Moscow prices, many potential buyers shifted to a more robust "import" the proposal, increasing the already rather big Russian stratum in preference. As reported by metropolitan agents wishing to invest in the growth of overseas property has increased in comparison with 2008 year by 32%, amounting in absolute terms, 17 000 transactions only within the agency "Miel". Needless to say, some states have become so familiar, not only for our tourists, but also for permanent residents with Russian passports, which almost lost the status of "abroad". Brothers-Slavs, despite a minority, hysterically demanding a real estate "and that no Russian within a hundred miles!" Yet, as a rule, try to stick together. And one of the touted advantages of the country can become not only the loyalty of the indigenous population to a Russian, but also a development of the Russian community. It is interesting to trace what the country most meet this criterion. Simply put, where is the most mysterious "we" of the proverbial "lost" more than anything, and how it affects the investment attractiveness? If you believe the statistics, the largest domestic real estate agenststva "Miel", recently Russians most willingly part with their newly gained honestly in favor of saving cherished squares in Spain, Montenegro, France, Germany and the Czech Republic. It is in this order lined up the top five most popular countries to buy property abroad. In the back of the leaders breathe Turkey, Bulgaria, Finland and Israel. Perhaps even ignorant of human geography, it is clear that all these countries are long-lived-in and confidence of our countrymen. At first glance, the exception to the rule can only make Spain the way, has won, including silver and honorable place in the top 5 countries that are attractive to buyers of commercial real estate with a score of 1.4 billion euros in turnover. But only at first. In fact, the Russian diaspora in Spain, according to recent data, has about 30 thousand people. Of course, by Moscow standards is nothing, but for Europe, with its distinctive mini-Town, rather like a village - population mean of the town. In Spain, acting officially registered association under the compatriots of Alicante, built Orthodox churches, and even touring ensemble of Saragossa "Kupalinka." Other countries included in the ratings, do not even need proof of the existence of its large Russian interlayer. The same Montenegro became a second home to many Russians. As early as 2003 census found that more than 1% of the citizens of Montenegro - Russian by nationality. Today, in many cities, especially in the resort, the Russian one in five. Over 7 years of "silent conquest", held with universal arms - hard currency, the Russian put Montenegro apartments and other property of the country more than 400 million euros, coming on top of the list of foreign investors. This has been facilitated not only the cultural unity of the Slav peoples, but also a favorable tax and regulatory climate, as well as some fashion, the steady in recent years among national "migrants". France, Germany, Israel and Turkey - a country familiar to our people since ancient times, if not, then long for sure. For many cultural and economic ties have led to the fact that, for example, the Israeli or the Turkish streets of Russian speech sounds almost more national. Yes, and Finland, as our immediate neighbor, and even before he was visited by the Russian Empire, so did not claim the title of Terra incognita. Conclusion is not very comforting to the exotic countries: even taking a decision on the settlement in a foreign country, even buying real estate there and letting the roots of our people still seeking the mother, a Russian. If we move, we do not radically - as if on the next street. After all, Israel is not much more, is not it?
