Real Estate Slump and Mortgage Mess Creates Greatest Investor Opportunities in a Generation

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (BusinessWire EON) August 23, 2007 -- "Only fools expect that they can hop on the MLS or deal with a real estate agent and stumble on the right opportunity in the right area. It's still very possible to lose money by owning the wrong product in the wrong pocket of any area, even the super strong Charlotte area" says Dennis Keefe, long time investor from Alameda, California, himself a realtor. "It's incredible how many people buy crap thinking they are getting a deal based on comps and pro forma rents. Convergent knows how to develop or acquire just the right brand new stuff in just the right neighborhoods for maximum results" he enthuses. "My family and I have bought eleven properties from Convergent. We couldn't be happier and I'll continue actively referring investors to them. I expect they will be our vendor of choice for the next ten to twenty years."

Convergent, a research powerhouse, concentrates its developments in Charlotte for many reasons: the super strong diverse economy, the growing demographics in all the right sectors: affluent retires, knowledge workers, creative class, and middle and upper middle class relocations from other parts of the country fuel one of the most rapid population growth patterns in the nation. North Carolina has just passed New Jersey in population, and Charlotte is its hub.

"We feel it is a mistake for investors not to consider the ballast that large cities offer to real estate values. Charlotte is not only among the top one two or three in economic strength of the 269 largest cities in the country every year according to Policom studies, it is the only city with a MSA of over one million people predicted by every credible demographic study (including the Charlotte Chamber of Commerce and the US Census Bureau) to virtually triple in size in just the next twenty years. You don't have to be a Wharton School of Business graduate to figure out what that kind of growth means to real estate values" says Nick Sabardin, president of Convergent and a graduate of the prestigious Sorbonne University in France and a San Jose MBA.

New Realty Trends Emerging In Inner Loop Houston Neighborhoods in 2008; Mortgage mess, Erratic Economy Change Buying & Selling Tactics
Luxury homes in Houston's Inner Loop (IH-610) should hold their prices in 2008, but risk of falling values, according to a study, is possible in 2009, says Steven Kleiman, CEO of Oakington Realty, Inc. The mortgage meltdown, uneasy stock markets, unsettled economy and declining prime interest rate are all radically reshaping the way brokers and their clients will market expensive homes, condos and lots, says the REaltor whose firm handled $40 million worth of high-end properties in 2007, up 25% over 2007. Home prices will increase at only 5% over the next two years, with buyers wanting upscale locations close to their places of work, as well as "suburbs in the city -- and more of them narrowing their choices online first. Sellers will have ...
