Real Estate Investor Briefing

The emergence of San Juan del Sur
July 2006

Dear Claudia,
In this newsletter we have focussed on property in
and around San Juan del Sur, a rapidly growing
tourism and investment destination on Nicaragua's
southern Pacific coast. The town is evolving before
our eyes; new internet cafes, bars and restaurants
are opening and a major expansion of the port area,
to better service international cruise lines and
support the local fishing industry, is currently
underway.
What makes San Juan del Sur
interesting is the beautiful geography of the town
and the surrounding areas. It is no surprise
that this area of Nicaragua's coastline is generating
the most interest. Rolling hills, now a beautiful
verdant green, dropping towards secluded sandy
beaches and dramatic rocky outcrops on the ocean
front. A number of real estate developments have
sprung up taking advantage of the numerous
stunning ocean view sites that exist around the
town. There are few places left in the world where
you can pick up an ocean view site for under
$50,000 so close to a rapidly growing tourism and
investment hub and with close access to sandy
beaches and world class surfing spots.
Growth in supply of turnkey product
The most noteworthy real estate trend in the past
three years has been the large growth in the supply
of turnkey products, (villas, condos, casitas,
bungalows), many of which are offered pre-
construction. Coined as "condomania" in a recent
edition of Waves magazine, close to 33 out of the 65
major developments on the Pacific Coast now offer a
turnkey product. The graph above charts the
relative availability of different real estate products
between 2003 and 2005.
Nicaragua is going through interesting times and San
Juan del Sur presents a perfect study of the close
link between tourism and real estate investment that
has been experienced in countless places around the
world. Many visit Nicaragua as tourists and leave as
investors.
We invite you to San Juan del
Sur and would be delighted to meet with you, discuss
market trends and take you on a property tour of
properties that we think offer the right combination
of price, location and quality.
Best wishes
from Nicaragua
Claudia and Sara

It's the view that will keep you coming back
A new ocean view home at Cantamar El Yankee
You can see the waves roll in and break on Yankee
beach from this ocean view home. The beautifully
appointed house on the property offers three
bedrooms, three and a half baths and well designed
living accommodations arranged over two floors and
1620 sq ft. The construction of the main house has
recently been completed and landscaping is currently
underway. Cantamar El Yankee is a popular
development with investors attracted by the world-
class sandy sweep of beach (after which the
development is named), dramatic geography,
expansive views and proximity to San Juan del Sur to
the north. Asking $260,000

Invest with confidence...develop with a conscience
Large parcel concept offered at Las Fincas
This is the strap-line of Las Fincas, a real estate
project run by Donn Wilson - developer, entrepreneur
and surfer based in San Juan del Sur. Donn
ecrognizes that real estate investors are entering
into another country and have an obligation to
respect the land, the people and the environment
and so Las Fincas is designed with sustainable
development principles ‘built in’. Large parcels of
several acres are available starting at $40,000 with a
basic solar power setup and aligned with a series of
active community outreach projects introducing
highly effective, yet low-cost solutions for cooking
and purifying drinking water.
