Advertising Supplement Central America's Top Value Destination is Shouting Potential--Again. THE CLOCK HAS STARTED TICKING FOR GETTING AHEAD OF THE CURVE OF NICARAGUA'S NEXT LAND RUSH It's a Buyer's Market Right Now in Nicaragua…Fears of Ortega's Left-Leaning Politics are Calming…Would-Be Buyers Who Were Waiting Cautiously on the Sidelines are Beginning to Take Another Serious Look at Today's Inviting Property Deals Here… And a Group of Forward-Looking Buyers Will Soon Have a Chance to Position Themselves on the Leading Edge of Nicaragua's Next Real Estate Boom When They Join Us on Our… PATHFINDER NICARAGUA REAL ESTATE TOUR November 30 – December 4, 2007 Dear Reader Call it déjà vu…or turning back the pages of the calendar a little over a dozen years… To those days when forward-looking buyers were locking down great deals on prime beach-front property along Nicaragua's stunningly beautiful southern Pacific coast…or parcels of lush forested hillside properties overlooking crystal clear mountain lakes in the country's breathtaking interior. Getting in early--while prices were still incredibly low--and cashing-in on the tourism and real estate boom that followed. Now Nicaragua is poised to boom again, and the reason might surprise you. Sensationalized “Politics”…Or Your Golden Ticket to the Leading Edge of Nicaragua's Next Real Estate Boom? Sure, he's had his picture taken with Hugo Chavez. He visits Iran. He talks about nationalizing the country's power system. But this is not the old Daniel Ortega…the pre-1990 Socialist we loved to hate. He owns or has interests in tourism and property development throughout the country. And he goes out of his way, repeatedly, to let foreign investors know that his government respects property rights. Venezuela and Iran may offer him cheap oil, but tourism and foreign investment are the staples of his plan to eradicate poverty and build Nicaragua's economy--representing a hefty chunk of the country's annual revenue he'd be foolish to jeopardize. Even so, over-blown fears of his left-leaning politics have sent many foreign buyers scurrying to the sidelines to wait and watch…and that's created a buyer's market. But here's the important part-- those fears are not panning out. Sooner or later (probably sooner) those would-be investors scared off by the political frenzy are going to figure that out, propelling Nicaragua back onto the radar screen of hot tourist playgrounds and tropical retirement destinations.
That potential has piqued the interest of forward-looking property shoppers looking to buy in ahead of the almost-sure-to-follow next land rush. And it's perhaps the best reason for joining us in Nicaragua this November 30 – December 4, for an up-close, no-bull look at some of today's best value-oriented real estate deals here…before the incredible opportunities driven by the current buyer's market disappear. In a moment, I'll tell you more about why it makes sense to buy in Nicaragua right now… But first, here are some recent real estate deals that Pathfinder has led buyers to in Nicaragua. Getting them in early at the lowest price, while others have been waiting to see which way the political wind blows. *** An ocean-side condo apartment for as low as $199,000, pre-construction. Set on a lush hillside, offering commanding views of the Pacific Ocean and the picturesque fishing village below, this is a luxury foothold in an area that's been compared to Costa Rica 20 years ago. *** For $75,000, you could be the owner of a secluded lot with breathtaking views of a cobalt-blue mountain lake, acres of emerald cloud forests, and Nicaragua's most impressive volcano…only 40 minutes away on good roads from the international airport in Managua. *** A spacious estate lot, starting at a very affordable $40,000, in Nicaragua's premier resort community along the “Riviera Pacifica,” where families can enjoy swimming, surfing or sunbathing on the development's five beaches, or hike the nature trails that wind through the 2,700-acre reserve and along the dramatic cliffs above the ocean. Twenty or thirty years ago, just about anyone who dreamed of escaping to a new life in paradise pretty much had their pick of bargain real estate throughout the Caribbean and Central America. There were plenty of choices then to fit any budget or lifestyle desire, and millions of expats flocked to the tropics, bought properties at dirt-cheap prices, and turned their investments into handsome nest eggs. Today, those dirt-cheap prices are history, and even those properties that qualify as true bargains (if you can find them) generally come with a lot of trade-offs in comforts and amenities. Then there's Nicaragua. Why You Should Take a Serious Look at Nicaragua Nicaragua has choices to fit just about any lifestyle dream or budget--Beach-front condos…secluded lakeside developments… Established resort communities with all the amenities and services of 21st-century living--country villas…spacious, colonial-style homes in quiet urban neighborhoods…and for the truly adventurous (or adventure-spirited retirees) who don't mind trading a few conveniences for a new life off the beaten track, Nicaragua also offers miles of yet-undeveloped beaches, and acres of pristine forests. Nicaragua is politically stable--After 17 years of a free market economy with progressive growth and increasing prosperity, the people of Nicaragua know they have a good thing going. Nobody--including Daniel Ortega--wants to go backwards. Nicaragua's economy is growing. The government is pouring millions into improving the country's infrastructure. And foreign property owners enjoy the same protections as nationals. Nicaragua is safe--According to the Inter-American Institute on Human Rights, Nicaragua is the safest country in Central America, with a reported crime late lower than that of Germany, France, and the U.S. The people are warm and welcoming--The Nicaraguan people have openly embraced the interest that retirees and investors have shown in their country. When you move to Nicaragua, you become a neighbor and a friend, not just a gringo living among the locals. Nicaragua is “the world's best kept retirement secret”--Healthcare is first-rate and affordable; benefits and tax savings for foreign retirees are generous and easy to qualify for; retirees pay no taxes on out-of-country earnings, and the cost of living is the lowest in Central America--20 to 60 percent lower than in the U.S. And Why It Makes Sense to Take That Serious Look Here Right Now I've already mentioned that it's a buyer's market right now in Nicaragua, thanks largely to those exaggerated fears of Ortega's politics, that have flattened out real estate prices. At least for the time being… The good news for you is, in order to keep momentum going, many developers are willing to go the extra mile to attract interested buyers until the market picks up again. Because of the strong relationships we've established with Nicaragua's most reputable developers and real estate agents, our Pathfinder in-country experts have recently negotiated some deals that could get you into your dream property at below list price.
Nicaragua offers budget-friendly living choices… without giving up the conveniences you need for a comfortable, luxurious lifestyle. Here's just a sample… *** A 10% discount at an ocean-side project on the Pacific coast west of Managua … If you're looking for a dream lifestyle, away from the crowded tourist resorts and hubs of activity, this development fits the bill. There is no overly-ambitious master plan for a 36-hole championship golf course or a 5-star resort with Mayan herbal steam baths and banana-leaf aroma wraps… This is simply comfortable living among breathtaking natural beauty--including some of the must stunning Pacific surf, beaches, and rock formations you'll find anywhere in Nicaragua. *** Just south of the charming, quiet fishing village of San Juan del Sur, you could receive a 10% discount off properties at an eco-friendly development set among a 450-acre private reserve of lush tropical plants and wildlife, in a landscape punctuated by lush rolling hills, a cascading river, and superb views of the majestic Pacific Ocean. *** Or, you can lock down your dream property--again, at a 10% discount--in Nicaragua 's premier Pacific resort community. These large lots (from 0.33 acre to more than 3 acres) meld into the vivid green rolling hills that slope gently towards the resort's five beaches along Nicaragua's “Riviera Pacifica.” This is an established community where residents will have use of a private club and dining room, health spa, swimming pools, horse stables, tennis courts, and a host of other amenities. But keep in mind, these deals aren't open-ended. In fact, it's very likely that this will be the last tour where we'll be able to offer you these choice properties below their list price. After that, they'll become missed opportunities.
An Up-Close Look at Nicaragua's Most Unique and Value-Oriented Properties Your Pathfinder Nicaragua Real Estate Tour is designed to show you the country's diverse landscape and lifestyle choices…and to allow you to sample first-hand the many options you'll have if you choose to retire or buy a second home here.
The World is About to Re-discover Nicaragua, But You'll Already Be Ahead of the Curve It's a safe bet that, now that the political frenzy is calming in Nicaragua, the current buyer's market won't last much longer. As more retirees, tourists, and foreign investors get wind of the opportunities here right now, Nicaragua 's second land-rush is almost certain to follow... And today's incredible deals will soon be history. I'd hate for you to miss out.
