Although it’s not so surprising, it has been revealed by the First American Title Insurance Company that it might date back some years ago if tried to track down the initial point of the slowdown. Let us take a deep glance into this concern here in the article.
In context of Nicaragua, it has been proven that property sales have reduced by some 35 percent when compared to last year’s sales. Plus, second home investors seem to desert the developing real estate industry.
According to estimation of Brooke Rundle, a broker with Coldwell Banker Nicaragua, around 30% to 35% of decrement was noticed in the number of transactions after the real estate market peaked at the beginning of the year 2008. However, the assumption has not been yet accepted by the First American Title Insurance Company as according to their research, the slowdown may have started in the year 2006.
San Juan del Sur is the popular coastal center for tourism and the real estate development but the downturn in property sales has been noticed in here as well. When considering the Rundle’s assumption, it is no surprising to know this fact as most of the foreigners choosing to invest in Nicaraguan property are from the Canada and US where the economic slowdown is robust.

It is believed by many that property investors from European can be influenced to the Nicaraguan Real Estate Market. According to a broker in Nicaragua, Nicaragua is mostly popular for its cheaper lifestyle and that is what making it a popular destination for retirees. He added, “The popularity of Nicaragua as an outstanding retirement destination will be increased the same way how the property values increased in several South American locations including Mexico, Panama, and Costa Rica”.
Although foreign investors are not restricted in investing in Nicaraguan real estate, real estate agents are hardly ever offered with exclusive rights for advertising properties in Nicaragua, meaning there doesn’t exists any multiple-listing service at all. Of course, it means that seller can advertise their properties by the help of a number of real estate agents at the same time.
