On November 30th hurricane season is officially over and the winter season
will commence in the Caribbean. Hundreds of thousands of tourists will make
their way to the Caribbean to escape the cold and dreary weather of North
America and Europe for a week or two. When it's time to go home, they will
wish that they could stay there forever... or at least until the end of the
winter season!
November is also the time when potential property buyers start taking a
serious look around the islands, to see what properties are for sale in terms
of either permanent homes, or holiday homes.
Due to the Caribbean becoming more popular and the need to carry more
passengers, British Airways have increased the number of flights this year to
Trinidad, Barbados and St Lucia. Jamaica and Punta Cana in the Dominican
Republic will also see new flights from the end of October. In Antigua
further expansion of the airport is under-way to cater for the thousands of
passengers that pass through, on their way to Antigua and the surrounding
islands.
This years' property buyers are in a good position after the global financial
shake-up, with some property prices having been slightly reduced, although
you wont find any large scale reductions, as the Caribbean generally does not
follow international property markets, as there is always a steady demand for
properties for second homes and from those seeking retirement in the sun.
However, there are still bargains to be found due to the devaluation of the
US Dollar against the British Pound, Euro and many other currencies. This
makes for more savings when converting the funds for purchase.
During the summer, several new developments have been completed or are near
completion and are now on the market:-
There is a new 'green' resort in St Kitts, that has been designed to use less
energy and make the most of the natural environment. The resort is just a few
minutes walk from beautiful sands of Frigate Bay and captures the cooling
trade winds with its tri-aspect apartments. A one bedroom sea view apartment
is available for US$350,000. For more details :-
