Why do people join our tours? Well it’s quite simple: First to see the best real estate the country has to offer in a highly efficient manner and, second, to experience how the country feels, up close and in-person.
The best real estate in Nicaragua
Coldwell Banker Nicaragua has helped hundreds of clients get in on the ground floor of real estate opportunities in Nicaragua, and it is this experience that we will share with you.
We’ve run the numbers, done the math, analyzed 7 Opportunity Factors, interviewed and ranked property developments across the country. We can say, with confidence, that the properties on our tours are best-in-class: strong brands, delivering quality products that are outperforming their competitors. Learn more.
In Nicaragua, this quality comes at an affordable price. Market comps from Reveal Real Estate, a market research organization that tracks trends in international real estate show that overall, Nicaragua real estate is more affordable than other countries in the region.
How Nicaragua makes you feel
It’s not only about running numbers, people also need access to qualitative, softer factors like the feel of a location, and the experience of being in a new place. Of course there’s no substitute for coming to the country in person. But, for a quick taster, have a look at this video we’ve put together.
We know the “lay of the land” which will make your experience so much richer, easier and more rewarding.

Remember, we’re paying for all on-the-ground expenses for three days, including transport, meals and hotel accommodations, with no obligation whatsoever. Learn more.
Our next series of tours are running on the following dates: July 31st – August 2nd 2009, August 7-9th 2009, and August 14-16th 2009. Join us on tour and you’ll get the hard and soft factors you need to build a complete picture of what is happening. It’s the perfect way to make sense of the property market.
Nicaragua is rolling out the welcome mat for foreigners to retire and become resident in the country. The changes to the residency and retirement laws, announced in June by the Tourism Institute, increase the tax exemptions and benefits.
The timing of this new law makes sense given the gloomy economic climate worldwide. The new sales tax exemption on home construction materials is directed firmly at Nicaragua real estate investors, and will encourage more to start building.
It’s been a long time coming … but worth the wait. The newly approved Coastal Law provides a solid framework for managing the development of Nicaragua’s coastline and puts in place strong measures for protecting private property ownership. Reactions from the development community have been postive and commentators have noted that the new law is likely to stimulate development in the country. Good news for those interested in the Nicaraguan real estate market.
…and you won’t have to pay a cent while you are in the country!
That’s right: an all expenses paid Nicaragua real estate tour that unearths the best deals in the country right now.
After 3 intensive days, you’ll come away with insider contacts, new business ideas and direct access to the most compelling real estate deals the region has to offer. You’ll meet an energetic, adventurous community packed with personalities you would never find at home and witness how you can live luxuriously, but for far less. Here’s more information.
Your Future Now tours will run on July 31st – August 2nd 2009; on August 7-9th 2009 and on August 14-16th 2009. If we can’t book you on your chosen tour date, we’ll make every effort to lock in the next available date.
No question, Your Future Now is a highly efficient way to get a handle on this market. And remember, we’re covering all on-the-ground expenses for three days. All you need to do is book your air ticket to Managua. We’ll take care of the rest. Email us for the details.
In the video below, Samuel Chally, sales agent with Coldwell Banker Nicaragua, tells us about the last property he sold. We then ask him to give the reasons why it sold.
We’ve just completed our latest Your Future Nowreal estate tour.
On Your Future Now we round up the best deals and showcase the finest developments in an intensive, full-throttle 3-day tour across the country.
Just before the tour, a developer on Nicaragua’s central coast introduced a new release of beach casitas with “romantic” floor-plans, splash pools and an extreme attention to detail in the finishing.
It’s the price that got us excited: these casitas start at $139,000, turnkey.
Remember, the casitas are steps away from a championship golf course, equestrian center and all the amenities you would expect in a luxury oceanside resort community.
Three casitas sold in just two days
But there was more to it. As part of the launch the developer offered the first 4 people to purchase a casita a full furniture and soft goods package (even the hammock!) in the price. We just hand over the key for a fully turnkey experience.
Well, 3 casitas have already sold, two of them on Your Future Now. So this offer now only applies to one more purchase. Contact us for more information
With change comes opportunity
Our goal in this market is to uncover the best deals in the best locations, backed up by quality master-plans. We’re finding that it’s the tough times that create unique opportunity for those who innovate and broaden their horizons. And our clients are finding opportunities here in Nicaragua for less-expensive, less-stressful living.
We’d love to show you these casitas, and other good value offerings here in Nicaragua.
There’s no more efficient way to get a handle on the property market than by joining our Your Future Now tours. The next tour runs 1-3 May 2009. Contact us for the details.
We know that the actual process of buying real estate is fairly straightforward. But understanding how to leverage the current buyer’s market and cut great deals on exceptional properties is more difficult.
And that’s exactly what we do on our Your Future Now real estate tours.
Think of the tours as a road map to the best opportunities the country has to offer and an introduction to a brand new way of living.
In fact we’re so confident in the quality of the tour program and the amazing deals that we’ve unearthed, that we are pleased to cover all in-country expenses, with no obligation whatsoever.Learn more.
Our Your Future Now tours have been such a success that we’ve added a new date. The next tour will run 1-3 May 2009. Learn more about our real estate tours.
Finally, a logical approach to building in rapidly developing nations like Nicaragua. The project featured in the video below employs local community members and educates them in the skills of sustainable building by utilizing readily available byproducts, such as tires and plastic bottles, in conjunction with other local materials.
The aim is to empower local community members and create skills that will foster a healthy independence from economic fluctuations. At the same time the project serves as a case study for future developers – showing that the cleanest water comes from the sky and the most reliable energy source is independent.
A practical demonstration that aside from the obvious securities of living ‘off grid,’ the best development, and consequently the best long term investment, is one that invests in the local people and community.

“Shall we surf Yankee or Madera, Colorado or Panga Drops?”
Surfers in Nicaragua are spoiled. You’ll find consistent lefts, barreling rights, peeling point breaks and hollow A-frame peaks to suit all levels of surfer.
What’s more, the waves are uncrowded and the water is warm – what more could a surfer want?
Part of what makes surfing so special is the wind which blows offshore at least 300 days a year.
Surfing in Nicaragua with a tailored surf package
We’ve put together surf packages run by expert surfers who know the best breaks in Nicaragua. We can also combine a surf trip with other activities, such as sailing, canopy tours, yoga and community outreach.
Just tell us your interests, and we’ll design a tailored Surf Nicaragua package just for you.
If you’re dreaming of hot sun, beautiful beaches, empty surf, stunning resorts and that tingle of adventure that comes with a new destination, then come and experience Nicaragua with us. We’ll put together a Nicaragua vacation package tailored just for you. And for some reading to get you in the mood, check out our recommended reading list below:
