Thinking of investing in Belize?

It’s no secret that Belize is one of the most unique destinations in Central America. Situated among six Spanish-speaking countries, it is the only country to have English as its official language. In fact, cultural diversity is one of the country’s best-selling points, along with the small population – currently under 400,000.
The fact that the population density is the lowest in the region but the population growth rate is steadily rising, means that land is abundant and opportunities are ready for the taking. With a steady increase in visitors to Belize, the real estate market has been experiencing a boom, which has resulted in Belize quickly transforming from a little-known hideaway, into a chic vacation spot!
Infrastructure
Infrastructure has also seen a push, with an increasing number of luxury resorts and residential developments arising. These developments are to double as nightly accommodations as well as permanent residences that can go into a time-share pool or made available on the rental market.
House hunting in Belize is now just a matter of knowing what you want. You can opt to build your dream house, or you can shop around for a home with the help of one of many certified real estate agents available.
When it comes to lifestyle, living in Belize is a luxury within itself. Whether you are interested in scenic mountain ranges and lush tropical rainforests or prefer blue waters and salty coastal breezes, Belize has the best of both worlds.
Presently, the most popular real estate developments are located in the seaside communities of San Pedro and Placencia. Still, more inland districts like Corozal to the North and Cayo to the West hold a charming allure for those looking to settle down or invest in Belize.
