What do Cali, Colombia; Granada, Nicaragua; and Medellín, Colombia all have in common?
They top the list of the best cities for real estate investment in Latin America, according to the results of a new survey from Live and Invest Overseas. The survey looked at prices of a two-bedroom apartment in the top 20 Latin American markets.
“A strong dollar coupled with expanding middle classes in some markets and windows of crisis opportunity in others make this is the best time in a decade to diversify into foreign real estate, specifically in Latin America,” Katheleen Peddicord, the survey’s author, said in a press release.
While a strengthening dollar has dampened foreign investment in South Florida, the opposite is true for U.S. investment in Latin America. For the second consecutive month, Colombia has led the world in consumers searching for South Florida real estate in January, according to the Miami Association of Realtors. Brazil, which has seen its currency fall in value over the past year, came in second place after having led web searches for 17 of the past 19 months. – Katherine Kallergis
