1. COST OF LIVING IN LADERA RANCH IS DOWNRIGHT ATTRACTIVE

2. The cost of living in Ladera Ranch hasn’t exactly exploded, however most families are watching it carefully anyway. Whether the wolf is at the door or not, caution is the word of the day in spite of the slow rise of consumer optimism. Frivolous spending has definitely becoming somewhat rare.

3. Bloomberg Business recently quoted UBS, which is the most massive wealth management firm in the world, as well as a giant in the field of financial services globally. Now, bear in mind that UBS was never known for its modesty. This is obvious by statements on their “About Us” web page where they call themselves “the best global bank” and the “best bank in Switzerland”.

4. Not surprisingly, the top two costliest cities were both in Switzerland, Geneva and Zurich. In fact, the Swiss Central Bank did away with the currency ceiling recently and that caused the franc to jump to a record high vs. the Euro, leaving the assumption, of course, against the dollar and all the rest of the currencies in the world.

5. If you take the cost of rent into account, it really should be number one, which makes the report seem somewhat suspicious and possibly just based upon the Swiss being incredibly proud of being the most expensive.

6. All we know is that it costs an average $4,320 monthly for a NYC apartment with two bedrooms in comparison with the same piece of real estate in Zurich for only $2,390. When computing simple baskets of goods, as UBS did in the horizontal bar chart, that monthly $3,500 each for all three cities in the study is totally wiped out by the massive rental costs in Manhattan.

7. In any case, all of this could be enough to make you feel really good about the cost of living in Ladera Ranch, as well as the potential bargains to be had in Ladera Ranch real estate. So, give me a call for more information about what’s currently available.give me a call
