Latin America is shaping up as one of the world's great investments at the moment, and Belize property could well be one of the biggest benefactors of this.
According to local real estate professionals, Belize property prices in the areas most popular with foreign buyers have fallen by over 40% since the height of the boom. Thus, Belize is currently offering foreign property buyers phenomenal value for money.
Of course, no country in Latin America, and few in the world can compete with Brazil in terms of growth potential, but the new price reality means Belize property is much more affordable than Brazil property, better value for lifestyle buyers, and has a few additional benefits to lure foreign buyers:
Belize is a former British colony, with English as its first language. This means all property contracts and documentation are also in English. On top of that it has an established political and judicial system and infrastructure, and a first rate healthcare system that is the envy of many neighbouring states.
The Belize coastline is also home to one of the world's largest Coral Reefs in the world, and many Mayan ruins, which will be increasingly popular tourist attractions in the run up to 2012; the ending year of the Mayan calendar linked to the end of the world.
All of this makes Belize property able to contend with any place on earth. The fact that it currently offers among the lowest luxury property prices in developed Latin America will bring it to people's attention, and its impressive surrounding package will keep it.
