The news is full of the current global financial crisis. It seems as though everyone is wondering about real estate in the USA and how low prices will go. Panama, on the other hand, has had a great run in real estate appreciation and will likely continue to show growth based upon the strength of Panama’s and Latin America’s economies. For North Americans thinking of owning real estate in Panama this may be the best time to relatively cheap Panama real estate. The high end of the market has cooled off and Panama is still a wonderful place to live.

Panama Real Estate Investment and Living in Panama

With Panama’s thriving economy inflation has become an issue. However, the recent drop in gas prices back to those at the beginning of 2008 has provided drivers with relief. The “price of eggs index,” or what the writer pays at Super 99 for eggs, has been coming down too. One year ago a dozen eggs were just over a dollar. They peaked close to $2.00 in September and by late Oct. 2008 were being offered for $1.55 a dozen. The cost of living is still less in Panama than in North America.

And, if your Panama real estate investment will be your home, Panama is a great place to live, current inflation or not. Panama has wonderful real estate opportunities on both its Pacific and Caribbean coasts. The Panama highlands including Cerro Azul, El Valle, and Boquete are areas of great natural beauty with cooler temperatures than the coastal areas. If you make a Panama real estate investment around Volcan you can enjoy the same natural beauty every day that brings eco tourism from around the world for a one week visit.

Aside from the pause in high end real estate appreciation in Panama City there are great deals throughout Panama. With the upcoming completion of the interoceanic highway connecting Panama City and Colon you can expect to see increased construction and increased property values in and around Colon. In addition, Panama’s road building campaign is putting roads into previously isolated areas of Colon Province. This part of Panama has wonderful Caribbean waters for sailing and sandy beaches for walking. Prices have not caught up with the rest of Panama so there are still Panama real estate investments waiting for you on the Caribbean.
