Brazilian Real Estate Welcomes the International Market with Open Arms
A rising number of foreign investors are looking in on the prospect of getting a tidy profit from real estate acquisition in Brazil. The major changes in rules regarding property purchases made by the Brazilian government further increased the clamor for assets, both from local and foreign entities. Aside from the economic growth which the region has been enjoying since 2001, the government mandate on real estate in 2005 has proven to be a stepping stone in attracting investors into the Brazilian real estate market.
The financial stability of Brazil, especially on the southern end of the region, is due to foreign investors flocking into the country and grabbing properties left and right. Many foreign investors who enter the city provide more job opportunities for the locals. This is which, in turn, boosted significantly the revenue of the entire region. For one, the Brazilian Central Bank (BCB) reported an 8% jump in the region’s overall revenue, most of which is attributed to real estate. (more…)

Pipa
The British have invaded Pipa. Don’t be alarmed, they are merely seeking the sun and the beautiful beaches that Pipa has been blessed with. Pipa gives Britons a respite from the frigid British climate. Last year alone, Brazil saw 2.1 million tourists. This year, they expect to see 2.5 million or even more. 18% of the tourists were from Europe, a mix of British, German, Portuguese, Swedes, and Italian citizens.

Recently Fortaleza’s popularity has been arousing the attention of the British, European and even their neighbors; along with the American travelers, and financiers.

It was only recently that Recife was thrust into recognition. This made foreigners more of a novelty to the citizens. (more…)
Sao Luis
In the 17th century a French naval officer named Daniel de la Touche de la Ravardihre founded the city and named it after Saint Louis, in honor of King Louis XIII of France. Although it is the only city originally established by France, the Portuguese captured Sao Luis and then the Dutch followed, but it was the Portuguese that made a lasting impression making São Luis the most Portuguese city in the land of Brazil.
To the west of Sao Luis is the São Marcos Bay, to the east is the São José Bay, and to the north is the Atlantic Ocean, so in essence Sao Luis is all but an Island. São Luis is considered the main seaport of Maranhao and another state: Piaui. It principally produces and then exports, corn, cassava, rice, sugar, cotton, lumber, animal skins and hides, balsam, castor oil, and a kind of palm oil called babassu. (more…)
Salvador
So, you’re in the tube riding happily on your way back to your flat, when suddenly you hear two people talking about how drab the weather in London can be, and how they wished they could go somewhere tropical. Then you can’t help but overhearing that you could purchase an idyllic home with a pool sitting on 10 acres of gorgeous land for £50,000 and maybe even under.
Of course, you’ll be flabbergasted, where in the world can you find such a steal? So you continue to eavesdrop, you hear the words Brazil, Bahia, and Salvador. In a trance, you get home and immediately look those places up on the internet. (more…)
