Real estate in the Dominican Republic now offers the investment features expected by today’s exacting overseas buyers.

Strong economic growth (GDP growth 8.5% est. 2007), year on year is an immediately positive sign to investors, as is the government’s proactive intent to increase tourism to the island which is targeted to grow some 3.4% p.a. until 2017.

Additionally, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been on the increase, up from $1.02bn in 2005 to $1.18bn in 2006 and then 1.39bn in 2007, with 2008 predicted to be well over 2 billion dollars. Such investment is evident in the Free Trade Zones around the country as well as new real estate projects, with obvious positive effects on the nation’s economy at large. Some of the international business giants on the island now include Wal-Mart, and famous hotel groups such as Four Seasons, Conrad, Fairmont and Ritz Carlton

Major construction is underway to produce luxury beachside resort complexes catering for the exacting needs of 21st century tourism. With current property prices still lower than much of the rest of the Caribbean, The Dominican Republic still offers investors a lot more for your money. This, combined with a relatively low cost of living, makes the Dominican Republic a very attractive location for holidaymakers and investors alike.
