Prime central London rents increased by 0.1% in April, but landlords should not expect a rapid rise in the next few months, Liam Bailey, Head of Knight Frank Residential Research explains:

Prime London rents increased in April for the first time in six months according to Knight Franks Prime Central London Rental Index.

Although the rise was just 0.1% and followed falls totalling 0.8% in the six months to March, rents have now risen by 1.2% over the past year.

But landlords should not expect a rapid rise in rents in the next few months, as demand is currently failing to keep pace with supply.

Although new property instructions were up 56%, and new tenancy starts were up 40%, in the three months to April compared to the same period in 2011, new tenant registrations were up by just 5% and property viewings up by 15%.

Further confirmation of this gap comes in the form of the ratio of new applicants to new instructions, which last year stood at 4.3 and this year, to date, stands at just 2.9.

This can be explained by the continued lull in the City employment market and restricted budgets, both individual and corporate. It can also be attributed to the continued strength of the sales market in prime London, which is encouraging some to buy rather than rent.

Within the prime market, there are differences in performance. Belgravia for example saw prices rise by 1.2% in April while Hyde Park saw a 0.9% fall. And while some two- or three-bedroom houses in the ?1,700 to ?1,800 per week price range in Knightsbridge, for example, are failing to attract attention, properties in certain developments in the area are proving quite the opposite and achieving good rents.

Our view remains that we will see a modest growth in rents (1%) in 2012, before a more sustained recovery in 2013.

If peace of mind and staying HIV Negative is one’s goal, Paul Angelo, the gay matchmaker from Miami has a new controversial program that every HIV negative gay man should hear about.

This new controversial program is only available for Angelo’s current customers. Readers may visit Angelo’s website by clicking on the link below:

http://www.PaulAngelo.com

Staying HIV negative can be challenging for a sexually active gay man over 40. Nearly 20% of gay and bisexual men in 21 large U.S. cities are HIV positive, but more than 40% do not know their status, according to study findings described in the September 24, 2010, Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report.

According to Angelo, “To remain HIV negative – a typical gay man endures fear and uncertainty that leads to anxiety about sexuality. Sex is not fun any more.”

“Barebacking is now the norm rather than the exception. Porn movies will not sell if actors use condoms. HIV Poz men also go “all the way” and rebel against all norms for healthy sexual behavior and venture out into fisting, large sized dildos and the use of poppers.

“What used to be unthinkable is now demonstrated in porn movies, gay bath-houses and eventually makes its way home.

“Safe sex is a joke too. The popularity of barebacking has taken over the gay world and no one is safe any more. Bathhouses in Fort Lauderdale such as “The Club” or “The Slammer” put out at least 20 new HIV Poz men on Saturdays,” says Paul Angelo, the gay matchmaker.

“More and more Hiv Poz Men lie about their status. As an example, a gay man on Craigslist will say he is Hiv Neg when his viral load is undetectable. And the NSA (Non Strings Attached) sex is a metaphor for ‘HIV Poz Sex.’” says Angelo.

“Why is this important and why someone should talk about it? Because if a 23 year old or a recently divorced dad who is 45 year old goes out into the gay world, they have only a 30% chance of remaining HIV neg. In some cases they are guaranteed to turn HIV poz,” says Angelo, the gay matchmaker.

“In the 70s, sex was fun and easy. And today sexual contact is now associated with diseases, fear and emotional stress.”

So, how does a person remain HIV negative forever?

Paul Angelo, Miami’s gay matchmaker introduced a controversial coaching program where he teaches gay men over 40 how to remain HIV negative and how to relax and enjoy sex again.

“First, we know that if a man is a “feeler” from MBTI personality testing, he is more likely to get carried away and engage in unprotected sex. A man who is a ‘thinker,’ someone who decides mostly on logic, will stop and choose to have safe sex even though he is having a great time.” says Angelo.

“Basic personality testing and behavioral testing is a must to determine one’s ability to control behavior at times of pleasure. Hoping for the right decision at a time of an emotional ‘high’ is a prescription for becoming Hiv poz,” says Angelo.

Because of the controversial and graphic nature of this coaching program, Angelo is unable to provide further details. For more information, readers are asked to visit Angelo’s website at:

Prudential California Realty, the fast-growing Northern California real estate brokerage, announced today the ability for consumers to make a ratified offer on any for-sale property on the companys http://www.PruCA.com website. Prudential California Realty is partnering with RealtyBid (http://www.realtybid.com), a specialized provider in the expedited sale of real estate through an innovative online bidding platform, to power its new Make an Offer feature. The new feature is located on every property details page, and allows consumers to make a no-hassle offer in three easy steps. Prudential California Realty is currently the only real estate brokerage in Northern California offering potential home buyers the ability to make an online bid on a for-sale property.

Like other popular bid sites, we see our Make an Offer feature as a way to break down barriers, remove the physical limitations of geography, time, presence and space, and open up the listings to a global audience, said Gretchen Pearson, President of Prudential California Realty, Pearson Properties. We are the first, but think this method will soon become the industry standard for making offers, and that others will fall in lockstep, as it is in line with consumer demand, saves time and makes it easier for everyone in the process.

According to the National Association of Realtors, nearly 90 percent of consumers start the home buying process online, and 40 percent first learned about the home they purchased on the Internet.

Consumers can search through thousands of homes for sale in the Bay Area and Sacramento, all of which have a Make an Offer option. Once clicked, they are guided through a three-step bid verification process, and then digitally sign the offer online, making it bona fide. From that point forward, offers are presented to sellers in the same manner that they typically would be. Buyers benefit from the service by being able to make an offer at any time and from any place. Sellers benefit because they now get their home exposed to a worldwide audience of buyers who can make offers on their home online.

WebThriftStore, the first online thrift store platform for charities, today encouraged children of all ages to give their mothers the gift all mothers have been asking for, for years: Clean Up Your Stuff!

As everyone scrambles to buy that special mom the perfect gift, why not give Mom what she has asked for countless times? Many not living with their mothers are still sharing space with them: the birds have flown, but the nest is not empty! What every mom would really like for Mothers Day is to have her space back: a clutter-free basement, attic, garage or extra bedroom. And what mother wouldnt be proud of a child who finally cleans out that spare space and donates good things to charity in her honor at WebThriftStore?

Isnt it time to take care of all that forgotten clutter in Moms house? Doing so costs nothing, and donating it even results in a tax break. Plus, mothers hate when their children throw away good stuff. Here is a chance for all children to show their mothers how well they were raised: by cleaning, donating good stuff, and encouraging re-usenot throwing away good stuff and turning it into refuse.

Doug Krugman, WebThriftStore Founder and CEO, is leading the charge. This past weekend, Doug visited his mom on the East Coast and spent hours in her basement reliving memories and collecting items to post on WebThriftStore. It felt great to let go of some of my treasured items that havent seen the light of day in many years. I know that they will become treasured finds for someone else, and that Ill be helping charity in the process.

Krugman finally came to terms with the reality that, after 15 years of trying, hes not going to convince his wife Lynn to let him setup his audiophile system in their apartment. That means hell never set up the Oracle turntable for which he paid what seemed like an astronomical sum, and hell never listen to his old records again. Both the turntable and some precious vinyl (from esoteric labels like Chesky Records, Sheffield Labs, Clean Cuts and Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab) are listed on WebThriftStore at prices that are steals for collectors. Since hes leaving that world behind, Doug just wants an easy, hassle-free way to see that they go to someone who will be thrilled to have them, and that the money will go to a good charity.

Krugman has also listed a pair of KEF 103.2 speakers, some art pieces picked up in his travels, college books, the coolest Sony Walkman ever made, and beautiful hand-painted childrens furniture from artist Jane Keltner. His mother is very happy to be getting her basement back.

WebThriftStore enables any registered charity to create an online thrift store to which supporters can list items for sale to benefit the charitywithout having to pick up the items, or having supporters drop them off, forcing the charity staff to fill up their own moms basements, spare bedrooms, and attics. With an estimated $ 700 billion of stuff cluttering homes throughout the U.S., WebThriftStore offers an easy way to support non-profit organizations, by creating an online thrift store where supporters can shop and donate. Prices on WebThriftStore are set by donors, and once items are sold, donors receive acknowledgment letters to substantiate 100 percent of their value as charitable contributions for tax purposes. Donors also receive free, prepaid mailing labels online, to print and affix to packages shipped for free via The United States Postal Service, or they can arrange local delivery of purchases directly with buyers. All purchases are backed by WebThriftStores 30-Day Buyer Assurance Guarantee.

WebThriftStore encourages all good children to clean out the basements, attics, garages, and extra bedrooms in their mothers homes this weekend. Remember: roses last a week or two, and moms doctor says she shouldnt eat so much chocolate anymore, but a good child is a joy forever. WebThriftStore also invites friends to share stories and photos of cleaning up for Mothers Day on the WebThriftStore Facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/WebThriftStore

WebThriftStore features a variety of newly posted items on a daily basis that can serve as the perfect gift for Mom, or for everyday shopping. Shop, donate, and help support charities this Mothers Day.

kw.com Hello and welcome to This Month in Real Estate, I’m Jay Papasan Our Top Story a recent study reveals the most popular updates sellers made to a house prior to listing it with an agent. But first, the numbers … And now, our Top Story. Recent research reveals the top three updates sellers make in preparation for listing their house … • Painting the house came in at number one • Flooring came in at number two • And the third most popular update was to the light fixtures Surprisingly, sellers spend almost twice as much money updating their house while they lived in it than they do getting it ready for sale. For more, we turn to News You Can Use. Staging your house the right way is one of the most important things you can do to make sure your house sells. According to a recent survey, a properly staged house sells faster and for more money. From the moment a buyer steps on your property, they are trying to envision their life in the home. So start where the buyer starts — with curb appeal. Some things you can do yourself include trimming trees and bushes, planting annual flowers, and re-painting the front door. Inside, make sure the entryway is spacious and inviting. Your real estate agent knows that most buyers depend on their impression of the entryway, the kitchen and the master bathroom to make their decision. Lastly, a word about depersonalization: think of your house as if it were a hotel room. When you check in, you don’t want to think of the other people …

Ellen searched everywhere for the funniest real estate listings she could find — and she found them! A misspelling in one of these listings put an entirely new meaning to having a good time at home!
