Optimism In the Air
Howard Manley, Senior VP REDEV Properties

Have you all felt it? There is a lot of optimism on the air waves, newspapers and political grandstanding . I believe we are in the start of another upswing in Commercial real estate. You ask me why I make that statement well I guess the proof what is happening. I have always said we can sell any of our properties ant any time ,BUT  timing is the most important factor. We have just placed two more of our properties under due diligence contract at a great return to our investors. When everyone else is trying to keep afloat due to bad management , prosecution and whatever,we are going forward. Our latest project Ellerslie Landing and Shoppers Drug and Giant Tiger partnership has been received with great interest and is selling fast. If you are interested go to our web site www.redevgroup.com  and listen to the 45 minute presentation on this project or call your representative for more information.

Smart Ideas, Smart Interventions
(March 23, 2010 Blog Entry http://investmentsincanada.blogspot.com/ )
Here is a transcript of my latest chat with our media consultant.

I just read what the National Association of Realtors came out regarding the US housing situation, and they've stated that more than one in four housing transactions in the US, paid for their purchases on an all cash basis, which means no mortgages. 100% bought by cash.
And then there was a separate survey, also according to them, where they found that investors are now jumping into the US buying these empty homes and apartments.
From November to January, this year, buyers buying homes jumped to 17% from 12%. And when asked in the survey what those people are doing with those units, the answer was "renting them out."
Now I am a little puzzled by why they would be renting them out. There is a glut of apartment units on the marketplace, today in the US. If you have a glut now and people are buying more units to rent out, what happens to rent?
My only guess is that if you oversupply, you'll have a drop in rent. So where is the investment in this case?
In Canada, there is still some concern about a potential housing bubble and the Canadian government, through Canadian Mortgage and Housing, (CMHC), has been talking about raising guidelines to make it harder for home owners to buy.
That is a good approach, being proactive! Canada does not need to see any failure or share a similar fate as to what happened in the US.
With Redev Propeties, we continue to meet our goals on our income growth, commercial investments. It works for us. We focus on cash flow, income growth along with value add. That is what we do best.

We have a proven performance record that speaks for itself. We stay focused and ahead of the crowds. We stay away from trends and do what we do best. Go to our website and you can see what we do, at www.redevgroup.com.
Yours truly,
