The brunt of the economic slump has reduced the property market in the global plane into a trash and almost each country under the sun is badly affected. While on one hand there are big players like the US along with the key European countries, several mediocre players like India have also suffered a huge reduction in terms of generation of revenues and demands. Well, a question is rising in the international forums too. Is every country affected? Well, the latest published reports and the revelations of business gurus happen to be something different. According to their prudence Brazil has been able to save its skin and has not become a victim as a result.
What has led to this major success? There are indeed a good number of reasons but the most important have been the vast resources of the country, availability of a large number of persons who have professional prowess along with a great confidence in the banking and housing sectors of the country. You may say that these are available in other countries too. But they don’t know how to blend them and extract the best product. This is the secrecy and skill of Brazil. They have, perhaps, applied these two traits in the soccer field as well!
All these came forward from the US billionaire Sam Snell who described Brazil, unhesitatingly, as the “the best” market in the world and ideal for large amounts of overseas investments. He said all these at a business forum in New York of late. But he is not alone since Liam Bailey, the Chief Market Analyst for overseas property portal Property Abroad corroborates his point of view. He said, “Many major overseas property funds have invested massively in Brazil, and other sectors have also been invested in heavily — including a major investment by UK bank Standard Life earlier this year. Brazil is currently one of the most popular countries to make an overseas property investment……………………………………………………… its continued popularity and media coverage will maintain Brazil’s status as a hot investment market, because people buying there will provide a strong resale market when today’s buyers sell up.”
What should other countries do therefore? They should follow the Brazilian model meticulously.
