Guadeloupe Real Estate Finding Treasure In The Tropics

By:




As part of France, the archipelago of islands that comprise this small country are a little bit cosmopolitan and yet, unabashedly Caribbean both in the attitudes of their people and the architecture of their buildings. Most of the older homes and many newer ones have weathered their share of hurricanes, but every time the people of Guadeloupe regroup and rebuild. It is this continuity in spite of natural disasters that ensures investment property in this area will hold or grow in value. Even if a category five hurricane wipes your newly acquired piece of Guadeloupe real estate out to sea, the land upon which it was built holds its value. It is the land, and the well-built structures that can stand up to storms, that will prove to be the biggest prizes for a well schooled international real estate investor.

Due to its location, closer to South America than North, most of the supplies developers must import are shipped in from Venezuela and Brazil. That means that, as a developer, you will be getting better prices on raw materials than you might if importing from the U.S. Still, you wont necessarily be assured of the same quality. Still, real estate in Guadeloupe purchased for development purposes is a good value if you are ready to put your money into making it work.

As for what sort of land you can buy here, think of it as a mixed bag. The terrain ranges from rocky mountainsides with some volcanic formations to the gentle slope of white sands sliding lazily into a blue sea. The range of offerings in Guadeloupe real estate can climb from sea level up to what appears to be sky level. The prices will climb based upon the sort of property and the geography. Remember, these islands are all part of a larger group of islands collectively called the Leeward Islands. Compared to many of the other islands in that chain, youll find that Guadeloupe real estate prices are quite reasonable.

Being French owned, the island uses the Euro as currency. Exchange rates should be investigated when seriously considering an international real estate purchase or rental on any island in Guadeloupe. Since the primary industries are tourism and agriculture, the land here is an important asset and treated as such. Still, investors who know how to shop the international market can still find themselves a deal on one of the Southernmost Leeward Islands if he shops real estate listings in Guadeloupe.
