Category: Real estate, Posted:06 May 2010 | 06:00 am

As the Euro hits a one year low on the fringes of an exchange rate of USD$1.30 to the US dollar the real estate market is poised with uncertainty over the trickledown effect.

Back of continued worries over the Greek bail-out, stock markets around the world included the Dow Jones saw jitters. Bizarrely enough the Thai baht despite an economic pounding by political upheavals has continued to stay at exceptionally high levels.

For developers looking to move up sales pace, there major overseas currencies look to be a hindrance rather than help for the foreseeable future.
