There is a spring in the step of buyers, sellers and real estate professionals.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">So this is a great time to take stock, look at the months ahead and keep a weather eye on international indicators. Like never before the health of local real estate markets \u2013 especially in the luxury sector \u2013 is linked to the health of the global real estate community as a whole.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">North America and the UK have seen an upturn in financial fortunes over the past few years \u2013 particularly through lower employment and greater GDP. The confidence this has brought to the real estate market in these regions has been significant. But in the UK this year with a general election in May, and in the US in 2016 with a presidential election, we can anticipate periods of low pressure and associated turbulence which will affect activity and possibly slow growth. This is to be expected and is just part of the political and economic cycle.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">When once asked what was the greatest challenge for a statesman, post war British Prime Minister, Harold Macmillan, responded, \u201cEvents, my dear boy, events\u201d. And it is events that are one of the greatest challenges for real estate around the globe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Russia\u2019s weakened currency through plummeting oil prices, international sanctions and political concerns has influenced the flow of international property buyers from that country. In Europe and the Euro Zone some debt-ridden member countries hamper growth across the continent. One feels that all this could dampen real estate interest: plus many individuals who wanted to invest in safe-haven real estate markets elsewhere in the world have done so already.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Yet, paradoxically, despite these events many real estate markets continue to flourish, exemplified by New York and London. For many London\u2019s real estate market is seen as the world\u2019s reserve currency and the same can certainly be said of New York. Influenced by these cities other regions and neighbours benefit.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The year ahead will no doubt throw many unwanted and unexpected events at us. Sometimes they will be minor and sometimes, as in Paris recently, they will resonate around the world. But appalling and heartbreaking as many of these events are, the desire of individuals to house themselves and their families and to invest their money wisely is stronger than the activities of terrorists, despotic leaders and rogue nations. Nature is stronger than man. But it is man\u2019s nature to provide and improve. Which is why, despite events, the real estate market in most of the developed world will remain a dynamic one through 2015 and beyond.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><span style=\"color:
