Belize property: could now be the perfect time to buy?
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007“Belize: buy before the Europeans!” is the headline on the International Living December 2007 Magazine.
By late 2008 it will be possible to fly direct to Belize City from Europe. This is big news for Belize and its real estate market. The Europeans, armed with their strong currencies, will start to arrive to this English speaking country in numbers. They will no longer have to transit through the US.
They will come for the classic Caribbean experience, the world class diving, the jungles and rainforests, the Mayan ruins, the waterfalls and rivers. And the real estate dollars will follow close behind.
We have seen the effect of new flight routes on real estate markets before. Dubbed the “Ryanair effect” (Ryaniar is a major European low cost airline). Wherever Ryanair has started flying, the Irish and the Brits have followed and real estate markets have flourished.
There are also rumors that direct flights from Canada will also start.
Timing is everything in real estate and right now could be the perfect time to take a closer look at this stunning country - while property prices are still well below regional benchmarks.
