Insurance premiums, climate exposure and condominium assessments now shape the monthly cost of owning a home at least as much as the purchase price does - and they vary enormously from one ZIP code to the next.

Sri Lanka′s property boom gives Chinese developers hope. But familiar risks linger (SCMP)
|
|
|
A Chinese developer behind one of Sri Lanka's biggest projects has reason to celebrate as a luxury property boom lifts sentiment in the South Asian nation and fuels optimism about the market's prospects.
Analysts, however, cautioned that a string of disappointing Chinese overseas property investments over the past decade underlined the risks of speculative excess that could lead to a boom-to-bust scenario, particularly in a country where regulation remained uneven.
