Moon sur and sous merIn 1946 George Orwell wrote an article in which he described his favorite pub which was called The Moon Under Water. After outlining all the features that made it perfect (including, believe it or not, that it sold loose tobacco as well as cigarettes) he ended by revealing that it did not actually exist as it was too perfect.

Outside the tourist season, it is empty and even when it gets busy there is usually enough space to stretch !!!!!

Is this not the same.....ALL OVER THE WORLD.....in tourists areas ????

I am afraid it is. Smiles


But......but...but...in some areas, not all, the noise of motorboats is prohibited.

Finally if for a "modest" house it cost US$ 1.3 million, then there are hundreds of better places around the the world in emerging nations, where it will barely cost HALF of such an amount. Such as in the Dominican Republic, Thailand, Vietnam, Tunisia, Morocco and many others countries.
Especially knowing the Brazilian Mortgages Rates, US$ 1,3 million is quite expensive. And that price is...AFTER the recent Brl depreciation, meaning it was closer to US$ 1,9 million just 5 months ago !!!!!!

For US$ 1,3-1,9 millions there are LUXURIOUS large houses....in ACAPULCO......and in many Mexican tourists resorts areas !!!!!!!

Conclusion : Brazilian Real Estate is in a BUBBLE PHASE !!!!!
Well

Well Fitzpatrick, this may well be so, as you say, "wonderful land". However although the nature here in Brazil indeed is wonderful, it is always totally spoiled by:
- primitive brick houses
- no sanitation (so faeces goes directly into sea/beach in 99% of cases)
- favelization - a guy usually just says to himself "hey I want a house here", pays R$ 2000 ("para fazer uma laje") to a local pedreiro e presto! here it is! - a "house" (actually a third-world hovel)

All in all, I'll pass. Yes nature is beautiful but the people spoils everything. Just my 2 cents.

There are many inexpensive houses and villas being built on Cape Verde Islands, much closer to Europe (4hour flight) much more affordable, and much more secure. Google for CABO VERDE REAL ESTATE

People in every country take the business loans in various creditors, because it's comfortable and fast.
