Sunday, November 1, 2009

People looking for Brazilian property will find new bargains as can they can get a home for £40,000 and be in with a chance to win tickets to the Olympics and the World Cup.

With Brazil now hosting the world’s two biggest sporting events in the space of just two years - the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2016 Olympics - UV10 has released plots for property in Brazil's Natal Ocean Club Resort & Spa starting from £40,000 for 600 sq m or more and as a bonus all new buyers will be entered into a draw to win three pairs of tickets for each tournament.

The area is planned to become one of the most sophisticated private beachfront resorts and the flagship Brazilian resort for upmarket hotel group Preferred Hotels, Natal Ocean Club Resort & Spa provides some equally sophisticated homes and price tags to match with a fantastic limited opportunity to purchase 600m² -plus Estates from as little as £40,000, is making true luxury accessible for even those on a limited budget.

Meanwhile, Samantha Gore, sales and marketing director for UV10.com, commented: "The lowest priced Beach Cabana now available direct from the developer is £308,000 but, taking the self-build route, this price could be slashed to £181,000 fully furnished with the added benefit of having until November 2011 to begin construction."

Brazil property getting cheaper due to currency movements

Wednesday, February 18, 2009

Brazilian property is getting cheaper as currency movements over the course of the past few weeks have put Brazilian property investors in a favorable position, it has been claimed.

Deane Roe, account manager for Foreign exchange specialist Moneycorp said that The Brazilian Real is currently being weakened and the currency movements over the past few weeks have been huge and it all works in favor of the US and British buyers. The dollar was worth 2.269 real (£0.70) on the Brazilian Mercantile and Futures Exchange at the opening and when it closed on Friday, this was worth 2.264 real. According to Emerginvest figures, Brazil's economic market posted returns of 13 per cent in the last quarter compared to the US's 4.87 per cent decline

In addition, Industry analysts are claiming that no proper conclusion by the G7 may have exacerbated the problems and this could potentially increase the value of foreign investment in property in Brazil. Dow jones cited a recent poll and has predicted that the real will fall to 2.30 dollars before the end of the year, which could be good news to those looking to buy a home in the country.

Brazil property could become main area of potential investment in 2009, after it was revealed by Kevin Brass, writing for the International Herald Tribune's properties blog raising the Roof, says "huge money from around the world continues to flow into the country" which will assist the real estate market.

Price should not be the overriding factor in Brazil

Sunday, January 11, 2009

Low prices do not necessarily mean a good investment in Brazil, according to an analyst.

Dan Johnson, director at TheMoveChannel.com has said that shrewd property investor can get benefits by investing in right markets. Inexpensive, easy to buy and freehold nature of properties don't mean that it is right purchase. He added that there are top parts of the market and there are bottom parts of the market and price should not be the primary concern.

The first thing to consider when buying in Brazil is exactly where and why you are buying the property. Fortaleza is one of Brazil's favourite holiday destination and it ranks 23rd in crime.North eastern Brazil has perfect climate but the property prices are cheap. Some parts in Brazil has real winter and others are painfully hot. So the prosspective expats should do their homework.

Alex Pegley, director of financial advice group Calculis, stated that foreign nationals should get to know the region they are looking at before committing to buying a property. He said this would familiarise the area and see if they like living there full-time.

Overseas property investors should look reputable companies and ensure that they choose an independent lawyer with proven Brazil experience. European investor's have already recognized the benefits of Brazilian investment. Sellers are often offering incentives for buyers and residency is readily available for foreign investors in Brazil.

He concluded that a gradual resumption of credit is taking place due to the measures that are adopted, such as the reduction of mandatory deposits by banks, the injection of dollars into the exchange market it is wise to keep an eye on the situation. BuyAssociation revealed that Brazil's banks have healthy cash reserves in place and the total level of borrowing in the nation is far less compared to other countries.

Mortgage reforms boost Brazil property

Monday, October 13, 2008

The steady growth of the Brazilian economy means property prices are likely to carry on rising, a market expert has said.

According to The Motley Fool, the average mortgage in Brazil covers just 60% of the value of the home, compared with 90% in US. This means less risk for lenders who would therefore be more likely to lend. Interest rates in Brazil have plummeted from 25 percent in 2003 to 11.5 percent in 2007, which is mainly due to its raw material export-driven economy and huge trade surplus. According to Brazilian Association of Real Estate and Savings Institutions (Abicep), Brazilian mortgage reforms in 2005 are paying dividends today in the solidity and growth of the country's property market. The government has introduced a set of reforms aimed at increasing liquidity in the debt capital markets.

The reforms are aimed at the country's long-term economic growth as well as increasing its gross domestic product. The clear objective of the government is to broaden access of housing to the middle and lower middle class by promoting private sector participation in mortgage lending, encouraging institutions that supports secondary mortgage market and reforming public agencies involved in mortgage lending. The president also announced the "growth-acceleration package." which includes housing and infrastructure investment of US$236 billion.

With Brazil has become one of the top market destinations for overseas property investment, the increase of more sturdy domestic demand is also stimulating property prices. Consequently, with interest rates likely to decline even further, Brazil's "competitive currency" and the transformation of the mortgage process, Brazil's housing market seems set for a vibrant future.

Friday, September 12, 2008

ANBA has reported that foreign direct investment (FDI) for the first seven months of 2008 has reached $19.94 billion and the amount of FDI in Brazil totaled $3.24 billion in July alone, showing a considerable growth per cent from the same time last year. The expectation for the entry of foreign direct investment this year is expected to $35 billion and FDI in 2007 was twice that of 2006. According to a report released by the Central Bank of Brazil, the services sector had received the largest volume of funds which suggests that tourism in Brazil is booming.

Altamir Lopes, the head of the economic department at the Central Bank said that Brazilian property sector is in a healthy state and one of the key contributors of the rising FDI. Meanwhile, the central bank's predicts Brazil's economy will prosper further as it increased its projected economic growth from 4.66 per cent to 4.69 per cent. This suggests that the country's booming economy is more competitive and the financial buoyancy will continue in the future.

The FedEx economist Kellie Maske tipped Brazil as one of the "most dynamic" economies for growth potential and despite the "huge economic growth" currently underway in the nation property prices there still remain low.

This comes after the news that Standard & Poor ratings have placed the country in a group that presents low risk to investors.

Brazil has Caribbean climate and stable rentals

Saturday, June 21, 2008

A growing number of foreign nationals are encouraged to consider purchasing a residence in Brazil, it has been reported.
Carrebean climate
Real estate professional, Robin Barrasford, said that Brazil offers the fantastic Caribbean climate and a consistent rental market. Brazil also offers numerous lifestyle attractions that are highly conducive to a relaxing and pleasant vacation. Recent reports indicate that rental incomes, property values and yields in Brazil are all on the rise.

The relatively low cost of living, and what's more, the perennial glorious weather attracts more tourists worldwide. The one thing that is consistent about Brazilian weather is its year-round beauty. Temperatures are almost always moderate with very little seasonal variation. As a result, demand for rental accommodation will increase and yield higher returns for property owners. The infrastructure improvements in recent years such as good quality housing, services, amenities and good transport links means that Brazil property is "worth a look".

Many property experts consider that although it may take time before there is any considerable increase in a property's value, the enduring growth means it still offers the potential to produce good returns for investors. Property website Homes Worldwide revealed that already the property activity is just beginning to hot up in the South American country. The figures from Homebuyer Show North and Property Investor indicate that Brazil has seen capital growth of around 20 per cent.

Brazil property market considered lucrative among first-time buyers

Monday, March 31, 2008

According to a recent trend noticed among British buyers, most of them are considering to purchase their first property abroad.

A property website, BuyAssociation, offers impartial advice on overseas properties. Now that it is getting harder to get on to the UK property ladder, most first-time buyers are turning towards more profitable markets, such as Brazil.

The Property Editor for BuyAssociation, Paul Collins, said "The prices of properties abroad are lower, and in a few countries, it is a lot easier to actually climb on to the housing ladder. A few of the markets are growing at a fast pace, so that you can make a good deal, fairly quickly in these markets, and hopefully, that will help in climbing up the property ladder in UK."

According to a study report by UK National Savings and Investments, it has been found that 84 percent of those in the younger age group (18yrs to 30yrs), believe that purchasing a property abroad, is a more profitable option, than purchasing it in Britain.

During the past five years, the prices of properties in Brazil have risen by 20 percent, and in the year 2006, this has even surpassed a few areas in the North-East.
