For most people buying their home is the biggest investment they will make in their lives. For others real estate has become a commodity with which to speculate. In some regions of the world the two concepts - of housing as a necessity and housing as an investment - are colliding, a result of the astounding increase in real estate values worldwide in recent years.
House price inflation has priced millions of people out of the housing market, indebted others to record levels and created an excess of surplus property in many countries. Others, including many non-speculative investors, have grown increasingly wealthy from the worldwide property boom. Many are now paying the price as property values tumble and credit dries up worldwide.
The aim of landsnatch.com is to bring these issues to light across a broad, global perspective. Our news coverage and reports are intended to be of assistance to both the real estate investor and the family trying to pay off their home loan or acquire their first property.
In essence, we aim to dig the dirt on the reality of real estate worldwide.
