Brazilian Property Market Overview

With prices are at an all-time low in many locations in Brazil (currently you can purchase a 2 bedroom detached villa or apartment for under 50,000 euros), serious investors are recognising the huge potential for profits on real estate investment in Brazil today. While prices are following a steep growth curve, early investors are seeing excellent returns in the hot-spot areas of Brazil.

Economically, Brazil has seen great improvements over the past three years. In the year of his election in 2003, President Lula decreased inflation to16% while today inflation stands at only around 5%. This, along with a favourable exchange rate, has encouraged many major international businesses to produce their goods in Brazil at a fraction of former costs. Solid economic performance has prompted a new wave of interest from international buyers wishing to purchase real estate in Brazil, or invest in businesses and the stock markets. Over the past fifteen months the international press has constantly promoted Brazil as a place to visit, do business or live in.

Direct charter flights are now available from the UK to Salvador, Brazil for around £180 return, making Brazil a viable holiday destination and a promising buy-to-let investment location.

Brazil is often associated with football, caipirinha, sun-drenched beaches and intoxicating rhythms. It is true that the country has all of these – but it also offers much more. Given its huge area, the diversity of its climate and vegetation, and the waves of immigrants who brought with them their customs and cuisines, Brazil is a mosaic of cultures. Indeed, it is this unique mixture that underlies Brazil's vibrant colours, tastes and sounds.

Brazilian population is made up of diverse ethnic groups. In the early days of colonization such groups comprised indigenous peoples as well as Portuguese, Spanish, French and Dutch explorers. Later, slave trade brought African ethnic groups to Brazil. From late eighteenth century onwards, immigrants from Europe, the Middle East and Asia (Portuguese, Italians, Spaniards, Germans, Jews, Syrians and Lebanese, Japanese) concentrated especially in the Centre-South and South of the country.
