Why is real estate in Ecuador so hot in the face of the falling real
estate market in the U.S? It’s quite
simple. Prices are low. Labor is cheap. Values are
high. With fewer building restrictions, you are free to let
your creative juices flow and fully express! Linda and I moved to Ecuador 9 months ago. We have not bought anything yet, as we are typically the slow type, choosing to live in a country for a while to get to know it, explore various regions, and to try to separate the hype from the truth.  But we are very close to moving ahead on two or three properties, one to build a house on and the other two for investment purposes. We feel like the perfect window of opportunity is here now for us, and for others who are ready to see and take advantage of it. The economy in Ecuador is rapidly moving forward! We are finding that real estate and laws in Ecuador are very favorable for foreign investors and with the current political climate here, now is the time to reap the benefits. International real estate investment has seldom been more favorable! Not
Sure Where to Put your Hard Earned Money?
If you are anything like us, these last couple of years has been difficult. I have felt this current market meltdown coming for a long time. I have also been suspicious of the political climate in North America. I don’t like what I see happening in my home country. We are giving away our constitutional rights in order to be “safe.” Not a very fine trade if you ask me. Thank goodness for the Internet so we can keep connected. Linda and I don’t have a huge amount of money, and are therefore very cautious about what we do with it. But we also know there are many North Americans, you may be one of them, who have a sizeable nest egg gained from previous investments and are not sure where to put it in the volatile political and investment climate existing in the U.S. today  From what we have seen here in Ecuador in the
last nine months, we
have
a sense of a coming tidal wave of people wanting to leave the US and
head for high ground, not only for financial reason, but
for political
reasons as well. So what makes perfect sense to us is to move to a country that has low living costs and good opportunity for investment. Real estate in Ecuador, not just for expats, but also for Ecuadorians, is by our observation, booming. We watched as a 33-lot gated-community here in Cotacachi where we live just sold its last lot a week ago. The Ecuadorians themselves are building new houses and businesses all over the country. We also saw an 8-unit condominium sell out in two weeks last spring, all of the units except one to North Americans. Click here to read about a condo buying experience. It appears to us that the international real estate investment climate in this small but incredibly diverse South American country can provide great returns, as well as open the door to an adventurous and exciting new life style. We love it. It’s not totally easy, but if it were, what fun would it be? For those of you who are the suspicious/cautious type like me, you couldn’t find a better place to establish a retreat area, just in case. Indigenous families locally grow most of the food we eat. Water in most places is plentiful. Personally, we’ve found a nice piece of land with good soil and water where we are getting ready to create a small community of like-minded people to grow our own food and set up an ecological sound sustainability.

Panama, Nicaragua, and
