BAHIA BRAZIL, TO INVEST & ESCAPE WINTER SEASON

Reside in mild tropical surrounding?

Written by Administrator

Welcome in Bahia, Brazil

Brazil: a huge country, comparable in size to the European Union, exuberant in nature, a coastline of approximately 7500 kilometer long, beautiful beaches in all sorts and sizes, an impressive interior and - at the south Bahian coast - a very pleasant climate. A country with endless possibilities. We, initiators of this site, were quickly energized by Bahia Brazil.

From Salvador to Porto Seguro

We own land in the Itacaré area. Itacaré is an attractive coastal town between Salvador and Porto Seguro. It is our intention to build a winter-escape home there. We would gladly build some more houses for sale to people with desires comparable to ours. Experiences concerning this and other projects are to be shared via menu tab 'projects'.

This site is primarily designed as an information hub on formal matters, real estate facts and tourist options - so - zoom-in on what you, as a tourist and / or business visitor, would like to know about this part of Bahia.

ECONOMY

Brazil is one of the economic fast-growers in the world. The global economic crises seems to have gone past Brazil, without much damage. This is mainly because this huge country has relatively little import. Almost everything is self produced while exports have increased. High interest on money loans, makes banks stand pretty firmly in their shoes and controls inflation.

The Brazilian economy is growing for many consecutive years, resulting in increased -foreign- investment, especially in real estate. Increase in average income of the population and improvement of mortgage facilities for home ownership, contributes to a growing property demand.
