A report from CTV Regina in Canada. "It’s a buyer’s market in Regina right now as house prices across the city continue to drop. Realtor Craig Adam has been showing more homes lately, since it’s getting more difficult to sell a home in the Queen City. 'There is a lot of inventory and the time on the market for houses to sell (is) taking a lot longer than (it) used to,' Adam told CTV News."

"Buyers have more choices as prices continue to drop and sellers aren’t getting what they paid when they originally bought the home. According to Adam, sellers only received 70 per cent of the assessed value on 72 per cent of the homes sold in the last 30 days."

"'When the assessments were done in 2015, that was certainly at a high point in the market,' Adam said. 'Now that our market has declined, a lot of houses are selling less than what the assessed value is.'"

The Daily Telegraph in Australia. "Rents are dropping across Sydney because more rental properties are sitting vacant than at any time in the last 13 years. Figures released by SQM Research this week revealed 19,114 rental properties in the Harbour City were without a tenant — 2.8 per cent of city rental stock."

"This was well up the 1.9 per cent vacancy rate at this time last year and was the highest since SQM began records in 2005. SQM Research director Louis Christopher said vacancies increased in Sydney due to an oversupply of rental properties."

"'Sydney is increasingly becoming a tenant’s market,' Mr Christopher said. 'We expect to see further falls.'"

"Data from the Real Estate Institute of NSW showed vacancies were rising in middle and inner suburbs where developers have released large quantities of new housing stock. Institute president Leanne Pilkington said properties were staying on the market longer than usual."

"'We have seen a steady and relatively consistent rise in vacancy rates across Sydney as a string of developments reach completion creating an oversupply,' Ms Pilkington said."

From Domain News in Australia. "While renters in southern capitals such as Sydney and Melbourne worry about how to pay each week – let alone how to save a home deposit – Brisbane tenants can affordably rent within cooee of the city. Domain Group data shows that there are 14 suburbs in the Brisbane City Council area with median rental prices of just $400 per week."

"'Developers were so intent on letting out their properties because they had rental guarantees … that incentives came into the rental market for residential property for the first time in as long as I can remember,' said Ray White New Farm’s Haesley Cush. 'That put downward pressure on mum and dad investors with older units to compete with a brand-new unit where the developer not only has a better product in a lot of ways, but they were also offering incentives.'"

"Mr Cush said the new competition resulted in rents falling by about 30 per cent in New Farm."

From Stuff New Zealand. "There's one real estate agent per 1.2 square kilometres in Auckland. The Auckland residential housing market has slowed down and with it, so has the number of jobs for agents. According to online job site Seek, the real estate sector of the jobs market shrank by 27 per cent in the second quarter of 2018 and there was a 30 per cent increase in the availability of candidates for advertised jobs."

"Former agent Leilani Sell said when she left the industry in 2017, it was already clear where things were heading. 'There are way too many agents for the greater Auckland area,' she said. 'It's getting harder and harder to sell and I just thought there were better things I could do with my time.'"

From Daily News Egypt. "Chairperson of the Presidential Advisory Council for Economic Development at the Egyptian Centre for Economic Studies (ECES), Abla Abdel Latif said that there are some indicators that refer to an imminent real estate bubble. In addition, she added that developers are currently providing substantial facilities to their clients, and that these facilities are excessive."

"Abdel Latif statement came during a seminar held in ECES named 'Is Egypt approaching a real estate bubble,' where she elaborated that the New Urban Communities Authority has turned into a land trader through offering highly priced lands."

"Furthermore, she noted that the government has launched more than 20 new cities’ projects where their target population is much higher than Egypt’s actual population increase. In addition, Egypt’s resources are limited so launching such similar expensive projects is taxing the country’s resources."

"Hussein Sabbour, founder and chairperson of Al Ahly for Real Estate Development said, 'the government is a dealer in the market and I see that it can’t be a competitor but should be a supervisor. I confirm that a real estate bubble is imminent and God help us.'"
