Panama Property

The Panama property market is receiving intense international interest from property developers and investors alike.  All are trying to position themselves in the market as it booms ahead of the proposed expansion plans for the Panama Canal as well as a series of other planned changes and developments which will see the economy of Panama boosted to the tune of almost twelve billion US dollars.

Panama City is witnessing an explosion of construction activity in particular, and property prices are actually booming across the nation.  Real estate experts on the ground in Panama are predicting that this intense period of growth could last for another decade while even the more cautious international observers of the property scene predict that this emerging market has legs to run for at least another five years.  All in all the Panama property market is booming!

Donald Trump is leading the construction frenzy in Panama City with Trump Ocean Club International Hotel and Tower; his local company are also involved with other residential and commercial property projects on Isla Contadora for example as well as elsewhere in Panama’s main tourism hotspots.  Donald Trump has inspired others to develop impressive high rise buildings in Panama City which will soon be home to the tallest building in Latin America, and a number of Spanish backed property development firms are making their mark on the city market with residential property construction projects.

Fuelling the demand for property for sale in Panama are the US baby boomers who are choosing to move south to escape the restrictive living costs experienced by those in retirement in the US.  Furthermore local demand for apartments and condos is heating up as employment prospects and wages in Panama are improving.  European property investors, expatriates, retirees and those looking for an affordable and attractive alternative to the overheated European property markets are also looking at their options in terms of Panama property.

In future the demand for property for sale and rent in Panama will be boosted following the expansion of the Panama Canal, the development of an oil refinery by US based Oxy and the construction and development of one of the largest ports in the world close to the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal.  So while the current interest in investment property in Panama is strong, in the near future the demand could far outstrip supply and force land and property prices in Panama even higher.
