There comes a time in every real estate writers life when you have to stop beating about the bush and that time at Amberlamb is now! Yes, it’s true, we believe in Brazil and what’s more, we believe in Brazilian property and here’s why…
For one thing, Standard and Poor’s have upgraded the nation’s credit rating to ‘investment grade’ – really at this point we need say no more…but we will! For another thing the rate at which the population is expanding in Brazil represents increasing demand. The population is also slowly but steadily enjoying an expansion of personal wealth. Then there’s the oil, the housing shortage, the booming tourism industry and the amazing economy…
At the Reuters Real Estate Summit in New York last month, Brazil’s property market got a massive boost in the form of direct and sustained investment commitment from General Electric Real Estate which is one of the world’s largest and most diversified commercial real estate investors and a company that property investors the world over watch and learn from.
GE Real Estate’s timing is impeccable as they are buying in just at the point where international commercial investment interest is intensifying in Brazil and what’s more, their commitment will undoubtedly now draw other investors to begin examining the Brazilian real estate market - which means that if you were wondering when the time to enter the market was, it could be right about now…
Brazil is still considered an emerging nation largely because economically speaking it has been a nation in turmoil for many years. The devaluation and renaming of the currency has been a regular activity in the years since the end of World War II for example, and this has meant that any investment that came to the nation was high risk and usually fleeting.
However, all that is slowly, steadily and sustainable changing for the better and all of a sudden there is a new way to profit from property in Brazil beyond marketing real estate for sale or rent to international tourists or holiday home seekers…if you’re an investor seeking an exciting way to profit from a relatively new market, read on!
Brazil has presented a more stable and attractive investment climate to foreign investors over the past few years thanks to a number of strategic reforms and prolonged periods of stability that the nation has enjoyed. As a result the nation’s real estate market has come under international scrutiny and property prices in the most attractive, accessible and popular parts of Brazil - from Florianopolis in the south to João Pessoa in the north for example – are rising rapidly.
Prices are being fuelled by the influx of overseas residential and commercial investors, multinational corporations as well as developers who are all keen on buying land or real estate in this rapidly developing and improving, beautiful nation. If you’re already listening to the broad media debate about Brazil and you believe that it’s the next market about to boom beyond all expectations, here’s what you need to know to buy property in Brazil safely and successfully.
It’s becoming well known that property in Brazil is affordable and attractive and that depending on where you buy you can bag yourself a property in a place where the sun is nearly always shining, where you can access your real estate from overseas quite easily and where you can target a growing tourism base if you want to buy to let in Brazil.
So, if you’re quietly contemplating an investment into property abroad in a location where you can comfortably afford to buy and where your rights as an investor are well protected and Brazil is therefore of appeal to you, you’ll be interested in our top tips relating to how to save money when buying property in Brazil…
The results of an innocent online survey on OverseasProperty-Advice.com which were released last month surprised many in the media. The survey was simply aimed at individual property investors and it asked them about which international property markets they were looking at in 2007.
The results should not be considered indicative of where investor interest is headed this year, but rather which markets have peaked investor interest sufficiently for closer inspection - and Brazil made it into the top three countries under consideration. The results of the survey led many media sources to question why investors are looking at investment property in Brazil – so here are a handful of reasons that we can think of just off the top of our collective heads…
Significant and lasting policy changes affecting the economy and currency in Brazil have been effected in recent years and now a situation has been established where the economic climate is ripe for Brazil property investment interest to rise.
We predict that 2007 and 2008 will be very exciting years as far as the emergence of a new wave of interest in Brazilian real estate assets is concerned.
Despite two months of lower than expected retail sales figures, Brazil’s retail property market is showing great potential for institutional investors and as a result a number of big name players are opening up specialist funds targeting this emerging, expanding and exciting Brazilian property market sector - meaning that individual investors can find a way to tap into the potential as well.
At AmberLamb we highlight strategic and significant developments affecting emerging markets’ economies to allow international property investors to make key and informed decisions about which countries and which property market sectors are worth considering for the development of their portfolios - this article about Brazil property is no exception.
There has been a flurry of positive news coming from Brazil recently which has translated into good news for property for sale in Brazil; so much so that experts researching for the forthcoming UK based Property Investor and Homebuyer Show are tipping Brazil as an emerging country poised on the verge of a property boom.
