Real Estate Puts Stocks and Shares in the Shadows as Safe Bet, Says Obelisk International

Real estate investment companies are looking forward to a bright future, as today’s investors are increasingly favouring real estate above the stock market to maximise their returns. According to a recent poll conducted by NBC News/Wall Street Journal, 80% of Americans deemed real estate a safer investment than stocks.

The trend towards purchasing property purely for investment means much of this money is moving overseas to the emerging markets, such as Eastern European countries such as Bulgaria, Romania and Poland. Investment experts at Obelisk International are examining the reasons behind this ongoing movement.

“We have all heard of investors making huge cash sums within a short period by dabbling on the stock market”, says Kevin Prior, head of sales at
Obelisk International. “However, we also hear stories and have witnessed the historic examples of investors losing everything by doing exactly the same thing."

Respected NY Times journalist, Motoko Rich, and David Leonhardt of Kellogg School of Management point out: "Beyond the shelter it provides, the biggest advantage of real estate might be that it protects people from their worst investment instincts”. This is why, amongst many other reasons, companies such as
Obelisk International are seeing increasing numbers of people looking to make a safer investment with their money.

Investors are realising the advantages of real estate investment and the increased financial power it can bring. For example, a few thousand Euros invested in an off-plan villa in Turkey or Bulgaria essentially gives control of a tangible asset worth much more than the initial capital outlay Investors in stocks do not have that luxury.

Kevin Prior says: "Real estate is considered a safer asset than stocks. For a start, property and land aren't generally traded as quickly and easily as stocks and aren't liquid assets. Real estate investors tend to behave more calmly than their counterparts on the stock market, so the real estate arena is less subject to the effects of panic selling than stocks and shares."
