Brazilian Real in Free-Fall; 5 Brazilian Beach Homes for $125,000 USD and Under in Natal!

Why is NOW the right time to buy Beach Property in Natal/Brazil?

 1) The US dollar/Euro and Pound are at a 13 year high and have appreciated nearly 55% to the Brazilian real in the last 24 months making property here effectively 55 % cheaper for you the overseas buyer.

When I bought my first beach property here in Natal in 2004 the real was 3 to the dollar.When I sold it 3 years ago it was at 1.8 so I cashed in and with the appreciation value made a 400% profit.This happened in large part to the exchange rate difference and this is why it's such a great time to purchase Brazilian Beach Property in Natal.

 2) European property owners of attractive beach properties are feeling the pinch back home and offering big discounts to off-load their second homes..see just 5 of these offers below. 

3) A new international airport opened here just over one year ago (June 2014) and is located within a 45 minute drive of the 5 properties you see below.

4) The beach property market here in Natal has tailed off in the past 2-3years.We believe demand/prices will start to pick up again from this year onwards as a direct result of the above factors.

High Expectations for Foreign Property Investors in Natal,Rio Grande do Norte

High Expectations for Foreign Property Investors in Natal,Rio Grande do Norte

 A return to the boom years through foreign property investment ?

Given the current scenario of the national economy and the drop in mortgage lending, one of the ways to revitalize the local real estate market is the resumption of attracting international investments. That at least is the opinion of  entrepreneur Renato Gomes, president of the Association of Real Estate Companies of Rio Grande do Norte Real Estate (Secovi / RN). He said the devaluation of the real against the major foreign currencies such as the dollar and the euro,will cause the housing market to once again become attractive to investors from other countries, similar to the levels of eight years ago, when Natal and other municipalities experienced a real estate boom, through what was called at the time "second home tourism".

Renato says "With the financial crisis that the country is experiencing, and the devaluation of the Real, the market has the obligation to pursue new opportunities. We had a very good time in the not too distant past, when international investors saw Rio Grande do Norte as an excellent investment opportunity. In the current reality, entrepreneurs and the government should promote our potential and go abroad to seek these investors, "advocates.

For Gomes, the housing market should go hand in hand with the tourism sector, with both focused on the dissemination of tourism and economic potential of Natal and Rio Grande do Norte. In his view, the private sector and the government should create a "big task force" to seek these investors by participating in real estate and tourism events and join the dissemination of tourism to the dissemination of economic and real estate potential.

"With the development of these two strands that come together, you have a direct impact on the service trade and in all areas that these sectors move, "he says.

                   

In an effort to turn the talk into reality,Mr Gomes will discuss the issue with state secretaries of Tourism and Economic Development respectively Ruy Gaspar and Flávio Azevedo. "We are looking at where we can work together to suggest a design of what we think is viable," he emphasizes.

Gomes points out that in the golden age of the housing boom,he took part in several international fairs, in partnership with the Secretary of Development, during the then government of Wilma de Farias. "We participated in several exhibitions in Barcelona, ​​Madrid, Porto, Lisbon, London and Cannes and were very effective in selling our investment capabilities, "says.

Renato Gomes says he is confident in the renewal of the local Brazilian real estate market. "The market will not stop. The market goes at a slower pace, but is moving forward and there are excellent opportunities for foreign property investors in Natal,Rio Grande do Norte"

Brazilian Real at 13 Year Low to Dollar,Euro,Pound/Investment 55% cheaper.

Brazilian Real at 13 Year Low to Dollar,Euro,Pound/Investment 55% cheaper.

The Brazilian real has been on the steady downturn for the past year(as the graph shows)The rate of depreciation has accelerated these past 2 months and hit record lows against the main global currencies.

Although this is a troubling situation for the Brazilian government and has lead to significant price hikes on Brazilians travelling abroad,it also means that Brazil has become a much cheaper place to visit.Much cheaper in the region of 55% compared to just 18 months ago!

Not only is Brazil now a great place to spend hard currency as you your dollars go twice as far,it also makes Brazilian realestate investment extremely attractive.

Prices of homes and buildable land are now effectively 55% less in Euro,Dollar and British Pound terms.

For example,you can now buy a 4 bed beachfront condo villa in Natal in the North-East of Brazil for $127,000 dollars.Just 18 months ago it would have cost you double the price in american terms.

                              

Equally this 130 room beachfront hotel was selling for 40 million reals at the beginning of 2014.The Brazilian Real price remains the same today but in Dollar terms it has dropped from $21 million USD to $10.4 million USD in just 18 months!

The key to investment gain in the short to long term will be based on Brazil's capacity to bounce back economically and stabilize/strenghten it's currency.The Brazilian Real averaged 1.88 to the dollar from 1993 until 2015.

If the real can return to it's baseline performance vis a vi the dollar,investors stand to make 100% returns on re-sale of their properties in a few years time..this is discounting the potential for property appreciating once the market picks up again.

Any savy investor who makes the move to capitalize on the current situation will very likely reap the rewards when the market corrects itself.

There really has never been a better time to buy property in Brazil.

Please contact me directly to explore the bargains that are just waiting to snapped up!

Natal to become international HUB for Latam in North-East Brazil? Key Advantages.

What is the Hub?

The biggest airline carrier in Brazil,TAM,aligned with Chilean LAN, is looking to establish a new international transportation center in North-East Brazil to shift some of it's operations from the south of Brazil.The consortium have chosen 3 cities as potential locations; Fortaleza,Natal and Recife.The HUB will become the gateway for commercial and cargo air-traffic,spanning four continents.

                                          

What will it mean?

Principally R$ 9 billion reals in investment,needed to develop the infrastruture to operate a global transportational center,along with an influx of over 20 daily/weekly international flights from Europe and the U.S.This will have a major impact on the regional economy of the chosen state and significantly boost international tourism and inward investment.

                                               

Why is Natal likely to win the bid?

Among the criteria evaluated are airport infrastructure, as well as customer experience (in this case, the expertise of the terminal operator) the hotel capacity in the airport vicinity and above all, competitiveness in operating costs. "TAM's decision regarding the international hub in the Northeast will be 99% technical," said the RN minister of Tourism. Of the three airports assessed,Rio Grande do Norte is the only one administered by a private company and has the largest available area for expansion not only for aircraft runway extension, but also for storage facilities of goods.

   The technical feasibility study will be announced in 2 weeks time.The final decision on which airport will be become LATAM's Hub will come in December this year.2016/17 will see large-scale development of airport facilities needed for future expansion.

Beachfront hotels for sale in North-East Brazil. 100-300 keys

                                                   

Located in the northeastern corner of Brazil, Natal is the Brazilian State nearest to Europe and North America. With more than 1 million people, Natal is one of the safest metropolitan areas in Brazil and was one of the 12 host cities for the 2014 World Cup.

3 major factors for investing in the Brazilian hotel industry right now;

Airport connections to U.S/Europe;

The new airport is primed for large scale expansion in commercial and cargo flights and is favorite to capture Brazil's biggest airline carrier,Tam's new international hub ( 20 direct flights coming in from US and European cities )

Existing hotel standards in Brazil

The hotels on offer ( in Brazil generally ) are not of US/European standards so there is a great opportunity to gain a competitive advantage in the market.

Brazilian currency at 12 year low

The Brazilian currency has hit 12 year low to the US dollar and Euro.The prices of hotels have been cut in half in dollar/euro terms compared to 2 years ago.There has never been a better time to enter the Brazilian hotel sector with hard currency.

                                                  

 Potential for the hotel industry in Brazil..untapped market.

-)With the recent boom in tourism,Natal has seen a spike in the number of hotels.Investments, both by Brazilian and international groups, have created one of the most modern infrastructures of hotels in the country and this is set to continue as Brazil becomes more and more recognized as a global touristic destination.

-)Brazil has an emerging middle class of over 40 million people.Many of the wealthier brazilians from the south of the country have traditionally flocked north for the guaranteed sunshine and fine beaches.This trend is set to continue apace as the domestic economy grows.

-)Brazil currently attracts just 6 million foreign visitors per year.The government have set targets to double this figure in the next 5 years.Brazil has only half the hotel capacity of the United States and the quality of accomodation is of a much lower standard overall.

For these very reasons,there is a huge opportunity for foreign investment in hotel development here in North-East Brazil.

We have;

-)Large downtown hotels for sale both in the city center and on the waterfront both in Natal and Fortaleza,

-)Large areas of beachfront land for hotel resorts in the most popular beaches of Rio Grande do Norte and Ceara

-)Approved hotel resort projects ready for development in these 2 states.

5th Best City to Invest in Brazil.Top spot in N.E Brazil= Natal

5th Best City to Invest in Brazil.Top spot in N.E Brazil= Natal

                                                                   

Faltering economy; political uncertainty; interest, taxes and rising inflation. As much as the economic scene points to a contraction in the volume of investments in Brazil, the reality of the housing market – especially in Rio Grande do Norte – looks a bit different. Without ignoring the difficulties, this sector of business continues to attract inward investment. Recently appointed as the fifth best city in Brazil to invest in real estate,Natal lives up to the privileged position in the national ranking

In the list published by Exame magazine, specializing in economics research, bearing the results of a survey conducted by consulting firm Prospects Intelligence Real Estate, Natal was defined as a great place for investment in real estate of all kinds.Rather than considering the valuation of real estate and the average square meter price of cities, which shows a reflection of the business already implemented,the researchers chose to investigate this demand tracing future trends.The study used factors that measure several variables such as per capita income, education levels,number of companies with a strong presence in the market and housing deficit.After preparing the data,a list of 100 municipalities were compiled showing the potential for investment in real estate.

 Natal appears as the fifth city in the ranking, where the other top 4 positions are dominated by the cities of São Paulo. Considering only the country’s Northeast, Natal comes in pole position ahead of Maceió (eighth in the overall list) and Joao Pessoa (the tenth best placed). Although this research has come to light less than a month ago,it has tuned investor groups onto the advantages of investing in Natal.On example is Ritz,a UK based, multinational group present in the RN since 2008. According to the company’s marketing director in Brazil Fernando Lessa, the developer has been analyzing the local market for some time and launched the first venture in Natal in 2010. With properties in an advanced pace of construction, the site should be comleted by next summer. The group is very satisfied with the return achieved after investments in the state. “Natal is a city whose primary characteristic is attractiveness. The city has a very strong migratory pull, which gives an excellent profile for property investment, independent of fluctuations in the financial market. It is definitely not a harvest of seasonal opportunities, “Another big comparative advantage is the increased purchasing power of the average citizen of Natal – according to data collected by Prospects, the average income of the economically active population (EAP) has six times the minimum wage,(close to R$ 5000) This  flows into the formation of a strong demand for prime assets,reflecting  the search for higher status.

                                                       

Even with this downturn of the Brazilian economy, this conjunction of variables makes the local market attractive,investment wise. “We know there is saturation of some products in the property market, but at the same time, there are other possibilities that follow generating a very high demand, for example,in the case of condominiums where we are designing and launching new ventures in the capital, “stated Fernando Lessa.

Condominiums continue to attract high levels of demand due to two distinct factors but complementary, the reality of the country.On one hand, the struggling public safety scenario, generating a market for structures that will fill the deficit left by the Government, providing tranquility to the consuming public; and a search for a better quality of life.The company plan to launch a complex of up-scale residential condominiums on the south side of the city which includes the conurbation between the city of Natal and Parnamirim. The Majestic Village will occupy a total area of ​​75 hectares “We will have markets, schools, clinics plus other kinds of integrated services for the residents without traffic,noise,pollution and general chaos of the city”the focus of the market is quality of life, “he testified. The proposal is not solely aimed at class A and A +. The current trend, according to Ritz, is to offer a differentiated product with high standard of structure, yet affordable to the middle class. The first stage of the condominium will focus on that segment of the population, with landplots on average 200m2 and starting price of around R$ 80,000 thousand, an amount that can be financed up to 10 years. “Property will always be a safe investment, especially in a city like Natal. Certain areas have potential for very high value appreciation, reaching 200%within 4-5 years”

                                                

In analysis of the current national economic times and Natal property market, the president of the Industry Union of the State Construction (Sinduscon / RN), Arnaldo Gaspar Junior, outlined encouraging prospects for local economic development . According to Gaspar, considering the traditional research – the Sinduscon disclose quarterly results, based on the Sales Speed ​​Index (IVV), which marks the difference between supply and demand for real estate – the present is excellent for investment by the consuming public even if the national economy is faltering, as prices are very low, due to the excess of supply. “Th new reasearch findings(in Exame) use a different methodology,but have injected new and interesting view on the market, showing real and current investment opportunities in the business community,” he said.

Another issue addressed by the President of Sinduscon are foreign exchange transactions that have occurred recently. According to Gaspar, the Brazilian currency is returning  to a real level against the dollar, after a long period of recovery forced by the federal government, the country will again be very attractive to the international market, especially the Europeans, going through a moment of recovery in financial liquidity. “I see great possibilities of this happening. Better yet, if the projections are realized,Natal will come out way ahead, just judging on the features highlighted in the survey reported in “Exame”. I am very optimistic about the combination of factors which indicate that we have everything to go through a real investment boom “he said. Gaspar, however, warned of the need for the public administration be prepared to absorb this high substantial investments.

According to him, it is necessary to reduce the bureaucracy of licensing and paperwork for new ventures, which has already damaged project viability in RN in previous years. “We need to optimize the work of the agencies responsible to define the role of each to avoid bureaucratic obstacles harmful to the state’s economic development. The (Municipal Department of Environment and Urbanism) Semurb, the (Institute for Sustainable Development and Environment) Idema and (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources) Ibama need to integrate actions to facilitate permitting “he said. “The time to buy is now” This optimistic outlook of Arnaldo Gaspar Junior on the local market was seconded by Sílvio Bezerra, former president of Sinduscon and current delegate representative of the entity with the Federation of Rio Grande do Norte Industries (FIERN), and President of one of the major construction companies in the state, Ecocil. He explains this by results achieved recently,

                                                           
                                                      

The timing is excellent for those looking to invest in real estate. “It is clear that there is a varied offer of real estate. Of course, some segments are over-supplied, but there are niches that are not being promoted. I conclude, therefore, that the time is favorable for investments. I do not know what happens in other cities, but I believe the industry has grown here, as shown in Search Examination, and the time to buy is now, “he advised.
