Hello Again, World!
Welcome to Good 2004 and Bulgaria Realtor. This is the first post on the new setup here at Bulgaria Realtor. What we are doing is combining the original website dating from 2005 and the blog from 2007 into one happy package. This should mean that there will be more content for your reading pleasure and – of course – your information as well, and all in one place.
Well, that’s about what it’s about, so maybe we should start blogging! 
Наздравици! (cheers!)

Hi there,
I was looking at a French national TV channel’s report of a visit to the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast last night. I won’t name it – but it’s French and the number comes right after one. I was not surprised – it was “confirming” the typical and predictable French opinion of the Bulgarian scene – and proceeded to report that “all” the large hotels on the Bulgarian Black Sea Coast are owned by the Mafia (Bulgarian or Italian, they didn’t say). Then they showed that the resorts were empty, and then they showed some 60% finished apartment units and ran them down as well. I have to admit, I was not surprised by the totally biased reporting (if you can call it that) and I reflected that it would be nice to see a balanced report about “our” coast at least one time on tv, but I guess that won’t sell air-time.
What really bugged me though was that they then – in the same program – switched to the (French) Côte d’Azure and proceeded to show how wonderful it is. With all the fancy Italian sportscars and all the fancy almost-naked models. Never mind that at least as many large hotels (and many more of the fancy girls) there are owned by the Mafia (French or Italian) as in all of Bulgaria, they speak French and that makes it okay. Did you ever swim there in the summer? Yuck!
Ciao for now

Hi there!
I just read this little bit on a blog – I’ll tell you where in just a minute, but please read this first:
“According to one source, [farm]land values have gone down 20% already in other countries, which would suggest the U.S. is lagging in a farmland price correction. Prices are down 18% in Brazil, 12% on the Canadian prairies, 20-35% in Russia and Bulgaria, and 70% in the Ukraine.”
This is a contrarian approach to the populist theory that farmland is a safe investment. The rationale? Farmland prices are being held up primarily by speculation, and as the speculator goes, so go the prices. Also, the theory that farmland will increase in value as the world population increases MAY be an ultra-long-term truth, but speculation in commodities can also kill that on the short- to long-term.
For me, the only reason to buy farmland is as an investment that you are going to work as a farm! And that comes with it’s own large family of speculation attached. Not a sure thing!
Oh – the quote comes from a blog called “Seeking Alpha” and you can find it at http://seekingalpha.com/article/148224-13-agriculture-myths-busted-this-bubble-is-ready-to-pop. It makes a fun read as long as you’re not heavily invested in farmland. :-D
