Information block (ee24 Daily):
Disturbances in Turkey at Taksim Gezi Park will not tell on local real estate market. Kemal Tufan, director of the Turkish leading real estate & consultancy agency Tufan Properties, is sure about that. According to him, the rapid rise in property prices in Turkey will continue in the future due to long-term construction projects. http://ee24.com/expert/turkey/turkey-investments-urban-real-estate-will-bring-big-dividends/
Another stable real estate market in Europe is in Germany. The German chancellor, Angela Merkel, is intending to restrain interest rates in order to win the election in autumn 2013.

Quite different problems worry the Spanish government that is going to attract big foreign investments in exchange for a residence permit.

Apart from Spain, there will be changes regarding the rules of obtaining a residence permit in Malta.

Vendors are not intending to lower the prices disregarding this challenging time. http://ee24.com/news/france/france-prospects-real-estate-market-until-2017/.
Meanwhile, a mansion in Carlton House Terrace in London has been put up for sale for £250 million (€293,7 million). The building, situated in the exclusive area of Westminster, is the most expensive property in Great Britain. That’s where the crisis does not seem to exist! http://ee24.com/news/england/velikobritaniya-vystavlen-na-prodazhu-samyj-dorogo/
