This year's REBEC in its conceptual and development program has confirmed the validity of it’s orientation. Analyzing the variety of speakers and topics that they have presented on 13 panels on the current situation of the Real Estate market in Serbia and the region, confirms the conclusions spelled out some time ago. After just a month of the end of REBEC 2011th topics related to retail, hotel development, project management, sustainable construction and energy efficiency with the standard and expected interesting topics on housing construction, development of business activities on the valuation of real estate, actualize the new information much faster and better than expected. Although it’s the summer period and the holiday season, it is obvious that the time has come for the ultimate realization of certain activities and procedures. As confirmation of this on the market have emerged the uncontested facts and information about new projects and ventures. "Association of Appraisers of Serbia" is formed , and it will offer education and licensing procedures of local appraisers of all kinds. This process in its further development will ultimately define the scope and content of local standards for the evaluation of assets and capital that will absolutely correspond with The International accepted standards.  One of the specialized companies that manage project with domestic and foreign denomination has decided that in the framework of its activity appear as a general contractor for one foreign investor, this is not a novelty in the world .Also, another company decided to establish in Belgrade it’s regional center, which will cover the geographical markets of the countries that are already in the European Union.  In terms of themes related to energy efficiency and sustainable construction are more numerous announcements and maintenance of specialized courses of authoritative associations, which will provide its students by acquiring and adopting new knowledge, also some kind of certification of this knowledge. In the retail market in Serbia, which is mainly related to "trade" and not production, just before REBEC 2011th started the project in Novi Sad from 30.000m2. Also it is announced the beginning of the development projects of the same purposes in Central Serbia, as confirmed by an investment partnership for a chosen location in Sabac with foreign partners. At least three mix use project are being developed in Belgrade, the retail is the center around which the content will appear as "bower" develop the use of other purposes such as offices and apartments But right now, certainly the most valuable information related to the development of hotel industry in Serbia, is a confirmed information that a prestigious hotel chains like Hilton and Merriot have selected local partners and locations for its first project in Belgrade. On the stretch from Slavija to Kalemegdan these chains will now have one its structure,Hilton will be a complete greenfield venture and Merriot will be implemented through the adaptation and reconstruction of the existing building. Bearing in mind that very soon will restart the project of reconstruction of Metropol and the start of reconstruction the hotel Yugoslavia. In addition to the hotel industry started construction in Block 11a in New Belgrade and hotels in Mostarska petlja, with the expectation that construction of yet another hotel in New Belgrade next to Arena will start. All this represents yet another confirmation that this years two panels linked to the development of hotel industry on REBEC in 2011. has confirmed expectations that the hotel industry at this moment is the most recommended and most attractive type of property that is in these times of crisis can develop unhindered.  As for the housing sector in turn its development will essentially continue to be conditioned by potential economic powers that rule this moment in the market and are related to potential buyers.  Greater offer opportunity to attract more customers able to overthrow the potentially serious encourage the purchase price of the square. Banks with still restrictive policy conditions that each entry of entrepreneurs to interested investment banks to support the development of larger blocks or housing projects or prospects in a way still solvent to obtain the loan.  The only advantage that is now ruling the market of real estate development, is the fact that the price performance over the previous period and continues on a downward mode, but the amount of the price that this segment is not sufficient to lower the overall price per square meter. Prices of equipment location remain the same but still benefits from the current 50% for advance payment of utilities and there is an insufficient number of entrepreneurs who are able to arange it. Also the current market situation is not enough "hard" to serious investors to reduce the projected margin sales price per square meter of residential construction, so it may be acceptable.  It just means that there comes a time when all participants in the development of this segment of real estate may jointly define a new business conditions. These will be some new requirements in all areas that touch and reflect the development of real esate absolute and / or fully edited. Then the other segments of the market and in particular those related to industrial and retail real estate, these segments further encourage investment.  It remains to be seen in late summer when the current rules be re-analysed, confirmation or negate all of the above, but in October at the upcoming EXPO REAL 2011th Fair again be able to compare the situation and potential development capacity of real estate in Serbia.
