Brazil Property, Podcasts
The latest podcast in the series is focused on the new emerging market of Brazil and what it has to offer over its international competitors. In edition 27 Adam Samuel is joined by Felipe Cavalcante, president of the ADIT (The Association for the Real Estate and Tourism Development in North East Brazil) and Jamie Strong, Head of Business Development for overseas property agents Experience International.
Brazil has been on our overseas property investment radar for over 18 months now, but what do you really know about this new property opportunity. In this podcast we discuss the many reasons why you should seriously consider this as not only a great lifestyle location but as a potential investment hotspot. Felipe explains why the ADIT was set up and what advantages it has for the property buyer/investor, whilst Jamie discusses the in and outs of buying property in Brazil and what types of property are available.
Both Felipe and Jamie are agreed that the following factors are placing Brazil on the investment map:
Increase in Foreign Direct Investment
This has be increasing year on year and shows no signs of slowing down.
Experienced developers
Brazil has an established domestic market, so the developers are experienced in building all types of property.
Brazil has large domestic market
A study has shown that by the year 2015, 60,000,000 Brazilians will be middle class and therefore this opens up a huge disposable income, a large proportion of which will be invested into property. This means they are not relying on International investors to buy into the resorts and means that as an investor they will be a large market of people to sell or rent to.
Beaches Culture and People
Brazil has a huge coastline and many stunning beaches. The weather is very temporate. The culture is very laid back and Brazilians are very friendly people.
Jamie has some tips of where to buy in North East Brazil and believes that now that many airports are able to accept low cost flights and mortgages are set to be available soon, that the area is about to become very popular with tourists and property buyers alike.

BRAZIL’S BOOMING REAL ESTATE ON THE NORTH EAST COAST REGION
Brazil is one of the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India and China) which Goldman Sachs has predicted will grow to overtake today’s big economic superpowers.
Many factors are aiding profits for Brazil property investment: increasing tourism- foreign direct investment, and land prices.
Brazil’s tourism industry is booming with a 134% increase. Going forward, the government is focused on reaching a target of 9 million tourists each year.
With more and more people visiting the country, the demand for short-term rentals is also increasing, further stimulating demand for Brazil property investment.
The north east coast region has become the new hot spot for real estate investment and development, as all other areas further down south have become over developed and property prices have risen to levels which are no longer lucrative for investors.
A large number of quality resorts and developments are currently under construction in and around the north east coast, more notably in Natal and Fortaleza. However, there is still a shortfall in the housing market, with demand outstripping supply, equating to a shortage of approximate 8 million properties.
Foreigners and investors have fuelled a real-estate boom, buying farmland along Brazils expanding agricultural frontier and second homes along the north eastern coast.
Fortaleza is the capital of Ceará. It is the wealthiest city in the north east of Brazil and is currently experiencing a tourism and property boom. Some residents of Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo believe Fortaleza to be more exotic and exciting, hence Fortaleza is a popular holiday destination for the Brazilian people and the middle class aspire to buy holiday homes there.
Economically, Fortaleza is developing at a rapid pace and on its own produces more than 43% of the total economic output of the state of Ceará based mainly on agricultural products, services and tourism.
Major property developers are now investing heavily in the best locations in Fortaleza and surrounding areas like, Cumbuco, Porto das Dunas, Canoa Quebrada and flexeiras.
‘’Coconut Grove Resort’’ One of the biggest real estate projects and First registered ‘Complexo Turistico Hoteleiro’ in Flexeiras, Fortaleza, Ceará, is currently under development in the North East Coast of Brazil.
Coconut Grove Resort is a fine example of a real estate project developed by serious investment and which represents a fantastic opportunity to buy into a superbly designed 5-star resort. The development unites creative design, modern living, luxury home comforts and a great investment.
The resort is situated on the outskirts of Flexeiras, just north of Fortaleza – the capital of the state of Ceara in north eastern Brazil. Flexeiras is said to have some of the best beaches in the world, as voted by the Washington Post.
The Coconut Grove Resort is a project very much supported by the government of ceara as it’s the first real estate project that has a community oriented programme, the developers of the project Realest International who have been working closely with the local environmental and planning authority in the development of this project, have committed to a special training programme for the local community, where a selected amount of local residents will be trained to a high skilled level where they can obtain all the necessary skills for a place in the resorts services, hotel and catering services, and local building and construction industry, also the building of the resort it self.
