And, moreover, Margarita favorably in this respect from other Caribbean islands.
Caribbean, a rather expensive place to buy real estate, according to the Analytical Agency Global Property Guide, as of March 2008 the average price of the house near the sea area of about 200 square meters was in Bermuda - 1.5 million USD, in the Bahamas - 1.4 million USD.
If you compare the cost of one square meter of housing in the Caribbean, the highly developed areas such as Bermuda and the Bahamas, it is 7000 USD, Barbados - 6700 USD, at the Virgin Islands - 5000 USD. Prices in Puerto Rico, on Mantinike, Antigua and Barbuda range from 3200 to 4500 USD per meter. The cheapest real estate in Jamaica, Aruba, Dominica and the Dominican Republic - 1500-3000 USD per square meter of housing in close proximity to the sea.
With regard to the island of Margarita, the price per meter is now in the range from 1000 to 2000 USD. The weakness and instability in national money and the existence of the black dollar, offers some advantages for foreigners who bring here another currency.
Unfortunately, there is a clear and very noticeable upward trend in property values. This is because of the increasing demand for real estate in the Caribbean, but also because of rising prices for construction materials and labor costs.
