If you can afford to invest in Real Estate choose to buy in Panama!
The appreciation of the land is going way up every year because of the Panama Canal Expansion Project, which will last for 5-10 years and will bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Panama each year and which will cost 6 billion dollars to build.
Buying real estate in Panama is an investment that will enable you to earn huge profits and the property will only appreciate more and more in the years to come. Panama real estate is receiving so much attention for second home purchases, investments and as a retirement destination.
With the cost of living in the United States soaring through the roof, it is no wonder why more and more American retirees, expatriates, and even young citizens consider living abroad.
If you like warm, tropical weather or a more temperate mountain climate, Panama has the real estate that you seek. If you are looking for a mountain hideaway, a beachfront home or a luxury condo off the shore of the Panama Canal or the Pacific Ocean, Panama can meet, and exceed your dreams.
Whether Panama deep sea fishing or world class golfing are your interests, or you’d prefer to simply kick back and relax, Panama’s variety most certainly has something for you.
Panama has become the country of choice for many seeking a second home for vacation, retirement, or investment. This tropical paradise in Central America has great appeal because of its proximity to the U.S. and its affordable real estate.

Many great real estate opportunities are lost because of indecisiveness. And lost opportunities will cost you time, money, and ultimately affect your level of success.
The truth is, everyone needs real estate sooner or later.
A real estate investor helps families find an ideal home, helps people with bad credit find a property that they thought they could not afford, and helps businesses established a base of operations. It can be truly rewarding for the real estate investor to make such a deep impact on people’s lives. At the same time, the real estate investor enjoys complete freedom. He or she does not have to report to a boss, spend hours in a cubicle, or even spend hours at home.
“This sort of freedom — combined with the truly awesome earnings potential of being an investor — makes real estate investing a wonderful part time business opportunity.”

Panama has been a nation of considerable interest to Northern American retirees for many years; it is a dollar based economy, English is widely spoken, it’s a country that’s easily accessible and the cost of living and real estate have always been so much more affordable than in much of America. But for the first time British and European interest in Panama has been raised and a battle is on among investors and property hunters to bag real estate in Panama.
British and European buyers currently have an advantage over American purchasers because the dollar is in quite a weak position compared to the pound and the euro and so Brits and Europeans can actually get more for their money because property in Panama is priced in US dollars. Even so, real estate is still far more affordable in Panama than it is in much of America and so US buyers are still rolling up in increasing numbers.
But you see, it’s not just the affordability of real estate that’s attracting all this interest in Panama. No, indeed – since the referendum relating to the expansion of the Panama Canal was successfully conducted last year with 78% of the Panamanian people voting in favour of the expansion, Panama has been awash with speculators convinced that when the Canal extension is complete in ten years time and Panama’s toll generated income has doubled, the nation will become an economic success story and anyone seeking a sure fire investment opportunity should buy into real estate today and hold for the medium term when the value of the property assets will have shot up.
So – what are we all waiting for? Let’s get on the next plane to Panama and join the gold rush…or perhaps we should just stop for a moment and look at the viability of this investment plan.
According to local opinion, currently for every one hundred units of real estate owned by an investor in Panama City there is just one potential buyer or one potential tenant for the property. Add to this the fact that some 11,000 units of real estate are due to be completed in the city in the next four years and over 100 high rise condominium developments are in the planning and initial construction stages, and you start to get the feeling that Panama is facing a severe surplus of supply in real estate terms!
When calculating whether an investment into property makes sense an investor has to be sure that someone is going to come along at some point and either buy, rent, lease or let his property – how else will the investor generate an income or realise a capital gain? It doesn’t seem as though there is sufficient property consumer interest in Panama at the moment for investors to make money from their property assets.
In addition to this concern there is the very real fact that the building boom underway in Panama today is built on poor infrastructure foundations. There is too much traffic for the road and too much waste for the drainage system and Panama City is creaking under the weight of construction progress. The government is aware of at least some of the issues it is about to face and it has committed to sorting out the most pressing infrastructure issues. But what about investors considering Panama…can it make a good investment choice considering there is more supply than demand? Well, there is much to be positive about – Panama will benefit substantially in economic terms from the expansion of the Canal and this will translate into the country becoming more affluent and a more desirable place to live, work, invest and retire – so anyone who is prepared to buy well located land or real estate and hold it for the long term could well reap financial dividends if they buy investment real estate in Panama today.
Latin America: Good Outlook
Date: 2007-10-10
By Rodrigo de Rato, the managing director of the International Monetary Fund.
Latin America’s outlook remains basically good despite the international credit turmoil. But the region needs major reforms.
Over the last several years, we have seen a striking improvement in the economic policies and the economic performance of many countries in Latin America. (..) One of the trends that has supported growth and stability in Latin America during the past decade has been the increased integration of Latin American countries in the global economy. Of course, the price of increased integration is a potential increase in vulnerability to events beyond the region, especially changes in trading partners’ demand for imports and changing conditions in financial markets.
IMPACT FROM TURMOIL
Obviously, the event that is dominating the headlines and the minds of policy makers is the turmoil in credit markets (…) What does the global outlook imply for Latin America? Under the projection of a modest fall in global growth in 2008, the picture for Latin America remains basically good. In 2008, the crisis could knock off about one half of one percent of growth in some countries in the region, although it is too early to assess specific effects on the real economy. If this is correct, then it will be a notable departure from past episodes of disruption. In the past, Latin America has been quite vulnerable, both to reductions in growth outside the region and especially to worsening of conditions in advanced country financial markets. (…)
Reduced demand for Latin American exports could certainly affect growth in the region. However, Latin American countries are offered some protection by changes in the pattern of trade over the past decade. Specifically, the share of the exports going to the United States—the country likely to be most affected by the turbulence—fell from 57 percent of total exports in 2000 to 47 percent in 2006. This reflects a broad global trend in which emerging economies, including those in Latin America, are becoming more important sources of global demand and potential engines of global growth themselves.
GREAT PROGRESS
While I have been Managing Director of the Fund I have seen great progress in many countries, much of it owing to the seriousness and sophistication of leaders and officials in those countries. Over the past years, the Fund has worked very closely with Latin American countries. We have given support to Latin American governments and societies during difficult times of economic crisis and instability.
Sometimes we have been these countries’ only supporter. We know how challenging certain kinds of decisions can be. And we will continue to do our part in such areas as macroeconomic surveillance, institution-building, and crisis prevention. The goals are clear: a more complete integration of Latin America into the global economy, more rapid and sustainable growth, and significant and durable poverty reduction. With good policies and some good luck in external economic developments, these goals are achievable. And the progress that Latin America has already made should give us hope that they will be achieved.
Rodrigo de Rato is the managing director of the International Monetary Fund until November 1 when he retires after three years. He previously served as economy minister in Spain for eight years. This column is based on an excerpt of his speech at the Ibero-American Association of Chambers of Commerce in Madrid, Spain on October 8, 2007.
