Real Estate in the Cayman is an Opportunity

Sunday, December 5th, 2010

As a British overseas territory with virtually no crime or poverty, a sophisticated infrastructure and a reputation as one of the cleanest and most well connected luxury destinations in the world, it comes as no surprise that the Caymans are enjoying astonishing capital growth and a buoyant real estate market. With all freehold land plots located on or close to the waters edge, all offering sea views and all zoned for residential development – there really couldn’t be a better time to make an investment.

In launching the newest and most luxurious range of premium land packets yet, real estate agents are offering an exclusive opportunity to purchase upwards of 10,000 square feet of tropical island paradise in one of the worlds’ safest, friendliest and most prestigious locations – The Cayman Islands – from US $45,000- with 0% Interest payment plans. To make a successful investment you need to look at a market, identify trends and focus on areas where demand is increasing and the infrastructure is improving. In some cases, this is easy to see. Yet, there are areas where activity and future potential is not so obvious. In these instances, yields will be greater due to the starting price being lower.

The booming development and real estate market in the Cayman Islands is on an upwards spiral and has tremendous room to grow. The 2 sister islands, only 14 miles long and 1 mile wide are at the beginning of a new evolution. With the extension of the International airport, a new marina, advanced infrastructure and an expected population growth of 50% over the next 2 years, if there was ever an opportunity to make a sound investment, this is the time. Take advantage of these low land prices and help you purchase ahead of the market. Where else in the civilized world can you buy Freehold Building Plots of Land from US $45,000. There are still a few remaining prime plots available with excellent 0% Interest payment plans. The purchase price includes roads, electricity and planning permission to build a residential Villa.

Cheap Property in Italy

Monday, October 25th, 2010

Foreign investors seeking to buy property in Italy have traditionally headed for Tuscany — and in particular hotspots such as Cortona, Florence, Lucca, Pisa and the Chianti region. This has led to a surge in prices that has put large swathes of Tuscany beyond the reach of the typical buyer and driven them to look for property cheaper regions of Italy such as Calabria and Abruzzo. However, there are still undiscovered parts of Tuscany where real estate prices remain surprisingly affordable. Principal among them is an area called the Maremma. The Maremma is at the southern end of Tuscany and has a striking, rugged landscape very different to the rest of Tuscany.

And the Maremma is proving just as popular with investors seeking cheap Italian property. In picturesque towns such as Manciano, it is possible to find an apartment for just EUR50,000. In nearby Sorvana, a three-bedroom semi-detached villa can be yours for just EUR200,000 while you can expect to pay just EUR250,000 for a detached house. In comparison, if you head for Siena just two hours away, prices rocket to two or even three times these figures.

Monte Argentario, for instance, is an island attached to the mainland by three narrow fingers of land and is also home to some of Tuscany’s most attractive beaches. This is among the Maremma’s most highly prized areas among holidaymakers and real estate investors, who are drawn by the high rental returns. This has led to it having a much slower turnover of properties, with owners understandably keen to stay put for as long as possible.

Other beautiful medieval towns and villages in the region popular with visitors and worth considering for property investment include Abbadia San Salvatore, Bagni San Filippo, Castel del Piano and Scansano, famous for its Morellino di Scansano wine. But no-one visiting the Maremma should leave without attending one of its palios — its unique medieval racing contests. While Siena’s renowned event features horses, in Roccastrada they use donkeys. And the townsfolk of Paganico gather every September to cheer on…racing frogs.
