Cuba the next big property investment destination? How badly will Panama Crash? How much commercial property will default this year? How far will prices fall on the Cote D’Azur? And more importantly – are we there yet?

Panama Bubble

Well, it’s certainly nice to know this blog is being read by those in the know. Following Ahmed’s predictions that Panama is a bubble about to burst, the Panamanian government has obviously come to the same conclusion and decided to step in and do something about it.

Panama – Trump Ocean Club

Ahmed say’s he is done with Panama real Estate, but my feeling is there is some steam left in the market still. Here is one development still in progress that I believe will provide good property investment opportunities over the coming years.

Trump Ocean Club, Panama City

Property Markets to Invest in During 2008

A massive change in the value of the dollar, combined with soaring building costs is changing the face of the international property investment markets. We highlighted a few likely markets recently in “The Top Ten Property Investment Hotspots for 2008,” but thought another look around the world’s investment property markets was in order. Ahmed believes the Panama property bubble is about to burst, but my feeling is there are a few more good years to be had from this market and properties such as the Trump Ocean Club under construction in Panama City will be a good earner. My feeling is the Hotel/Condo arena is the way to go in emerging markets. And with a few exceptions down in Florida, anything with “The Donald’s” name on it is a good bet. Of course, when we talk about Panama real estate, we are talking about Panama City only. The rest of the country has yet to see the sort of infra structure needed to support these sort of developments.

I’m done with Panama Real Estate

Ahmed — Sat, 24 Nov 2007 06:02:43 +0000

As a professional overseas property investor, I am only too aware that I am constantly one mistake away from bankruptcy – that’s all it takes – one investment gone awry, one condominium building that didn’t get built, a sudden unexpected drop in the market, a burst real estate bubble, and I am back to washing dishes. Well, maybe not quite that bad – I might have to sell one of the Bentleys, which would be almost as much of a disaster.

Panama Real Estate: One Big Hoax

Mark Knowles — Sat, 10 Nov 2007 00:19:06 +0000

The amount of speculation driving the real estate market in Panama City is breathtaking. Literally, I sometimes gag when I hear the kind of numbers floating around this place. The amount of money being spent is unfathomable, and for what? No one’s actually getting anything? These are all condos that won’t be built for months, sometimes even years! I can honestly say that I’ve never seen, maybe with exception of the Beanie Baby craze, so many people putting down money and reserving a product that doesn’t yet exist.
