20 good reasons to buy property in Natal-Brazil

1. Growing economy.

Brazil is one of the four largest developing economies in the world (the three others being China, India and Russia) with an annual GDP growth of approx 6%. According to Goldman Sachs, by 2050 Brazil will be the world’s 5th biggest economy.


2. Foreign investment is encouraged.

There are no restrictions imposed by the government for foreigners buying property. Brazil receives international investments with open arms, assuring respect to contracts and the rights of foreign investors. Property ownership is 100% freehold and secure.


3. Low interest rates and inflation under control.

Brazil is becoming an investment magnet country. The steady fiscal reforms and economic stability are pushing the Brazilian interest rates down significantly. Due to historically high inflation rates, Brazil’s mortgage lending is today almost non-existent. as total mortgage values in Brazil correspond only to 2% of the Gross National Product.

However, with the decrease of interest rates, a mortgage lending boom has recently began and consequently an increase in value of Brazilian Real Estate will take place across the nation. The Brazilian government expects the Brazilian mortgage market to grow 600% by 2014, with total mortgage values reaching 12% of the Gross National Product.


4. Under priced real estate market.

Due to continuous years of lack of purchase power during the 80’s and 90’s, the price level for real estate is still extremely attractive.
Now that the economy is growing and inflation is low, the 186 million Brazilian population is starting to purchase property with bank financing just like the populations in all western countries, it is expected that property prices in Brazil will increase steadily for the foreseeable future.


5. Long term future market stability and existing demand.

Brazil has a big population of approx. 186 million that includes more than 1 million multi-millionaires who are naturally attracted by European styled holiday homes situated far away from Brazil’s vast mega-cities. Along with future domestic economic growth and increasing spending powers of the big Brazilian population, this trend is set to increase.


6. Big domestic tourist market.

When Brazilians plan their holidays they don’t have to look any further than their own border and they usually head to the northeast (because of the climate). Last year the domestic tourist arrivals was 45 million in Brazil of which Natal as the nr 1 beach tourism destination received 1,7 million domestic tourists. Along with economic growth and spending powers of the big 186 million Brazilian population, this market will grow extremely fast and will have a positive impact on coastal property prices.


7. Active tourism promotion policy.

Tourism promotion is a top priority in the Ministry of Tourism’s agenda and the National Tourism Plan is clearly working. Brazil has seen a 75% increase in foreign tourism between 2002 and 2007 as a direct result of the National Tourism Plan (developed in 2003).


8. 175% increase in foreign tourism in Natal between 2002 and 2007.

The increase of foreign tourism in the whole of Brazil during this time period was an impressive 75%, but the staggering figure of 175% clearly show that Natal is the area leading the Brazilian tourism boom.


9. Natal is the No.1 area in receiving international investment.

Natal will also benefit from the massive future investments on the coastline. In the coming five years more than twenty golf courses will be developed on the Natal coastline and more than $1,8 billion will be invested in new hotels and resorts (the equivalent to 8% of all foreign investments that the entire Brazilian economy received last year).

14. The exchange rate is exceptionally favorable.

the Brazilian currency was artificially linked 1:1 to the US$ and most prices still reflect these old price levels.


15. Brazil is a peaceful country.
