  • India is scrambling to replace canceled Russian gas deliveries, driving GAIL India to pay $ 40 per million BTUs for LNG.
  • That's the most expensive LNG cargo to ship to India in history, traders told Bloomberg.
  • It's also a sign India is struggling to fill the hole in Russian supplies after a Gazprom branch was seized by Germany.

India is scrambling to replace canceled Russian gas deliveries, causing one gas company to pay for the nation's most expensive liquefied natural gas cargo in history.

GAIL India, the largest gas distributor in the country, purchased three LNG cargoes last week for over $ 40 per million British thermal units, traders familiar with the matter told Bloomberg on Monday. Those are record prices for any LNG cargo to be delivered to India, more than doubling the prices paid last year.

It's also a sign the country is struggling to fill the hole in Russian supplies, as competition with energy-strapped Europe has driven natural gas prices to sky-high levels.

India has become one of Russia's largest fuel customers since the invasion of Ukraine, but some of those flows have been interrupted as the result of Germany seizing a local branch of Russia's Gazprom, using that plant to direct supplies to Europe instead ahead of winter. 

The plant, which was renamed as Securing Energy for Europe, told GAIL that it no longer had supplies for India, and is currently paying a small fine for not delivering promised LNG shipments in October.

GAIL attempted negotiation with the plant last month, according to GAIL chairman Manoh Jain, but no new deal has been announced yet.

Jain claimed last month that failed deliveries from the plant only affected 10%-15% of India's gas supplies and were not significant, Reuters reported, although he noted that the company was concerned about securing gas supplies in the long-term.

In November, California reportedly crossed the 500,000 threshold for electric vehicles sold in the state since 2010. Months of strong US sales in 2018, preceded by a strong 2017, are starting to show a trend: electric vehicles are selling well, especially in places where there are strong monetary and non-monetary incentives to buy them.

According to Veloz—a group of electric vehicle industry stakeholders that includes GM, Honda, Nissan, Pacific Gas & Electric, Uber, and Lyft, among others—electric vehicle sales in California hit a cumulative 512,717 since 2010.

“Overall, this year has seen exponential growth in electric car sales,” Veloz wrote. “Electric cars accounted for 7.1 percent of California car sales in the first three quarters of the year, with fully electric, zero-emission car sales outpacing plug-in hybrid sales 4.1 percent to 3 percent respectively.” Veloz’s data tallies not just fully battery-electric vehicles but also plug-in hybrids as well as the much rarer fuel cell vehicles. The group gets its data (PDF) from the blogs InsideEVs and HybridCars.com as well as a market-research firm called Baum & Associates and estimates from the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Smart-lock outfit Yale’s parent company is buying August Home, in a move that may consolidate some of the smart lock market. Sweden-based Assa Abloy will pick up August Home for a cool $ 60 million, and the regulatory bodies involved are expected to approve the purchase by year’s end. “August Home strengthens our residential smart door strategy with complementary smart locks, expansion into video doorbells and comprehensive solutions for home delivery,” ASSA’s executive vice president Thanasis Molokotos said in a statement.

“We have always admired the design and quality of Yale locks,” August CEO Jason Johnson said in a press release. “This is a great opportunity for us to work with the world’s largest lock and access company.”

While this might be good news for August, customers now have to deal with a potential oligopoly where a few firms control the entire space and innovations therein.

Homeowners who appeared on the TV show “Fixer Upper” are cashing in on the success of the HGTV program.

“Shotgun House,” which appeared on a season-three episode of “Fixer Upper” in March 2016, was bought for $ 28,000 and renovated by co-hosts Joanna and Chip Gaines, according to Curbed. The one-bedroom property in Waco, Texas, has now been put on the market for $ 950,000 by its owners. It has 1,050 square feet of space and is listed with Briggs Freeman.

The Gaines have been fixing up dilapidated homes in Waco since November 2015 and now have a cult following. In fact, the show has become such a hit that it’s transformed the town of Waco into a full-fledged tourist destination.

This has meant that many of the “Fixer Upper” homeowners are renting their houses out on Airbnb and taking advantage of its popularity.

Take a look around the incredible and miniature “Shotgun House.”

This compact, one-bedroom home, known as “Shotgun House,” appeared on season three of the TV show.

The house was originally bought for $ 28,000 by couple Cameron and Jessie Bell. It’s now being listed with realtor Briggs Freeman for $ 950,000.

The house had been abandoned when they first found it. It was also located on a plot of land that had been sold. It was then moved to another location. 

The couple currently lists the house on Airbnb for $ 325 per night, excluding tax and service fees.

Buying a home can seem especially daunting if you’ve never done it before.

A house is not just the biggest single purchase most people will ever make, it’s generally many times more expensive than the next closest thing. Make a mistake, and you could end up facing serious money problems, a miserable living situation, or any number of other predicaments.

The good news is that you don’t have to worry about making mistakes, because I’ve made them all. Over the past 20 years, dating back to before we got married, my wife and I have purchased eight homes. We’ve owned houses, condos, a co-op, and a manufactured home that we just bought as a rental property.

Over the course of those deals, we’ve made some major blunders and learned some things that have made each successive purchase easier. Our advice can’t take all the fear out of what may be your only six-figure purchase, but it can allay those fears somewhat and help you avoid some of the mistakes we made.

1. Don’t spend too much

While your mortgage company may stop you from spending way too much, it may not stop you from stretching your budget further than you should. When deciding how much to spend on a home, there are two main considerations. The first is how much you’re willing to sacrifice in order to have the home you want. The second is whether you’ll be able to pay the mortgage if your employment and/or income changes.

Be conservative in both cases. You don’t want to eat ramen noodles for a decade, even if it seems romantic at first. You also don’t want to risk losing your house if you lose your job or take a pay cut.

2. Don’t spend too little

When my wife and I bought our first few houses, we ended up moving within a year because we were too conservative. We thought about price more than we did about being happy with the home. Once we realized how much room we had in our budget for bigger mortgage payments, we ended up looking for something else.

And of course, moving every year has its own costs. Simply moving your stuff from place to place is expensive, and there are all sorts of fees and taxes involved with a move, as well as real estate commissions when you sell.

3. Flush the toilets and run the water

While you’ll eventually have a home inspection, there are ways of looking for problems when you first see a home. An obvious one is to simply run the faucets and flush the toilets to see if they work as they should. Had I done that when we bought our first house, we may have noticed a poorly flushing toilet that the home inspector missed.

As it turned out, there were vines growing into our pipes — that was a $ 600 fix up front. We then found out the pipes were made of laminated cardboard and at risk of collapsing, which would have required us to dig up the living room. The outdated and compromised plumbing was the main reason we moved out.

4. Look at the basement

basementslgckgc/ FlickrMuch like flushing the toilets can tell you a lot about the plumbing, looking at basement walls can teach you a lot about the home’s structural integrity and flood resistance. Water stains suggest flooding, but there are also more subtle clues. If the current homeowner doesn’t have anything on the floor itself — for example, if appliances are sitting on blocks and cardboard boxes are kept high off the ground — then that’s a potential red flag.

5. Work with a realtor you trust

In both the places my wife and I have lived in the past decade, we have been lucky to find realtors we trust. Our first realtor helped us navigate buying our first house (after we had owned a co-op previously). He listened to what we wanted and what our capabilities were. Because he took the time to listen, he steered us away from homes that needed work or ones that wouldn’t be good for our then-future child.

It’s OK to meet with more than one realtor to find someone you like. You’re not obligated to work long-term with the first person who shows you a home.

6. Listen to your realtor

A licensed realtor knows the market. If he or she tells you that a low-ball offer won’t be accepted, odds are he or she is right. The same is true if your realtor warns you about a property or a section of town. Ours saved us from some deals that seemed great to us but would have been disastrous in the long term.

7. Be prepared to get a mortgage

The hardest part of buying, aside from finding the house you want, is getting a mortgage. You should start preparing to get one long before you begin looking at houses. That means getting your finances in order, having your two most recent pay stubs ready, and digging up your tax forms and W-2s from the past two years. You will also need to share bank statements from at least two months.

8. Get your credit in check

Aside from income, your credit score will be the most scrutinized piece of data mortgage companies look at. As soon as you even think you may want to buy a house, learn your credit score by going someplace like MyFICO.com and seeing your reports and scores from all three credit bureaus. Check for mistakes in your report and look for areas where you can improve. It’s possible to raise your credit score by doing a number of different things, but an obvious one is making sure you pay off your credit card balances.

9. Join a credit union

When you apply for a mortgage, you’ll want to pursue multiple options to see where you can get the best offer. In some cases, the best deal will be a local credit union. Some credit unions have more discretion about loaning money than traditional banks.

10. Trust the appraisal

house homeFlickrBefore a mortgage lender will actually write a check, it will order an appraisal, in which a professional appraiser determines the value of the property you plan to buy. The value is not what you’re willing to pay, but what comparable homes have sold for.

If the appraisal comes in much lower than what you’re paying, the mortgage company will want you to come up with more cash in order for your down payment to give you whatever percentage of equity you have agreed on. A low appraisal is also a warning sign that you, and your realtor, misjudged the market. That means you may be paying too much, because no mortgage company will accept that the house is worth what you agreed to pay.

11. Try to avoid PMI

Private mortgage insurance, more commonly known as PMI, is insurance on your mortgage that only protects the lender. It’s an added fee that in no way benefits you, and it’s generally mandatory if you have less than 20% equity in the home. Paying 20% down may not be easy, but if you can manage it, it’s worth it just to avoid PMI.

12. Always have a home inspection

Sometimes sellers will offer a home “as is,” meaning they won’t make any repairs or adjust the price if a home inspection finds anything amiss. In many cases, that means the eager homebuyers decide to skip the inspection altogether.

That’s a terrible idea. Even when buying an “as is” property, make sure you have the right to break the deal if an inspection — which you should insist on — turns up a problem you don’t want to deal with. That could cause the seller to reject your offer, but if that’s the case, you’re dodging a bullet. It’s important to know what you’re buying, and an inspection is the only way to do that.

13. It never hurts to ask for more

When you make an offer on a house, it’s not crazy to ask the owner to include an unlisted item in the sale. Maybe you love a chandelier or a kitchen table. The seller could refuse the request, but they could also agree to it in order to close the deal.

14. Remember that kids get older

When my son was very young, we lived in a three-story house with the laundry facilities in the basement. It was a hard house to make baby-safe, and we decided to move when he began walking.

In looking at houses to move to, we only considered ranches with basements that had doors we could lock from the outside. The idea that our child would ever handle stairs seemed impossible.

A few years later, of course, that seemed ridiculous. We could have saved money on that purchase and bought a different model in the same condo development, had we been open to stairs. It sounds silly, but as first-time parents we made a decision in the moment that we suffered for financially for years to come.

15. Think about resale

After my grandfather died, my grandmother turned her three-bedroom house into what was essentially a one-bedroom. She turned one room into a makeup room and another into a sort of office making for a massive master suite. It worked for her, but when it was time to sell the house, the pool of buyers who wanted a large, basically one-bedroom house was fairly small.

It may be tempting to buy a unique house that has quirks you really like. But if other buyers won’t like those features and you’re not entirely sure you will never sell the house, then buying an offbeat house may be a bad idea, as it makes resale much harder.

16. Do a final walk-through

Even if your home inspection was only a few days before closing, you should still do a final walk-through before closing the deal. Look for any damage done while the seller moved out, or anything that contractually should have been left behind but was in fact removed. If you don’t check these things before closing, it becomes much harder to remedy the situation after the seller has your money.

Toronto real estate had a sudden surge last year, and we’re finally starting to get a better picture of what happened. New statistics released by the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) once again confirm everyone didn’t just wake up to a shortage of land overnight. Instead it appears that speculators saw a gold rush, adding pressure to prices that sent emotional buyers into a bidding frenzy.

Sold In Less Than A Year

A surprising number of properties in the city of Toronto have been bought and sold in less than a year. In 2016, TREB said it was “less than 5%” but stopped short of giving a number. In just the first five months of 2017 however, it accounted for 7% of transactions. TREB called this “a very small share,” but to give it context it’s about twice as large as Toronto’s luxury market. Also probably worth noting here that Toronto’s luxury market is considered one of the hottest in the world. In case you didn’t catch that, 7% of the properties that were sold *this year* were bought less than 12 months ago – right around when prices started taking off.

Foreign Buyers Are A Smaller Segment

Foreign buyers represented another “small share.” From the third quarter of 2015 to the third quarter of 2016, 4.9% of transactions were conducted by “foreign buyers.” These aren’t the foreign buyers looking for assignment flips, and guaranteed cap rate investments like in Vancouver. In 2016, 91.5% of these buyers bought their home to move into, likely implying many of these were immigrants. Less than 1% had mailing addresses outside of Canada, and TREB found the majority of addresses were in the United States.

Domestic Speculation Running High

Most of the larger brokerages in Toronto have been telling us that domestic speculators are a larger segment than foreign buyers, and TREB just confirmed that too. In the Greater Toronto Area – Hamilton economic zone, 6.2% of homeowners own more than one home. Not 6.2% of transactions in the past few months – 6.2% of all homes. This is in line with the number the Ministry of Finance released just a few weeks ago.

Screen Shot 2017 06 15 at 3.08.45 PMBetter Dwelling

Sure, some might be informal landlords, but the cap rates don’t make economic sense. If you’re not familiar with the term, that means home prices in Toronto can’t be made up with rental income in an efficient way. Most purchases return around 2% in rental income, which means you’ll lose money on a mortgage annually. These are either extremely dumb business people that can’t do math (not likely), or people holding empty to flip at peaks. Tenanted properties are more difficult to sell than untenanted ones, and even easier if they’ve never been occupied before. Toronto’s vacant home situation starting to make sense? Perfect.

Speculative pressure is fleeting, and usually results in prices caving very quickly once the incentive gets removed. Prices are still creeping up in Toronto, but at a smaller rate than they previously were. Meanwhile listings are soaring, as people try to exit. Toronto needs to continue building to prevent an actual housing crisis in the future, but if you still think land became scarce in Toronto overnight, good luck with that.
