st croix investments: Is St Croix a Good Investment for You? - 03/06/11 08:08 PM
Many people contact me asking about the investment potential of properties on St Croix. Of course, I don't have a crystal ball, but if we stay on the track set by the first 2 months of 2011, or if the economy picks up a bit, then I can say with confidence that purchasing an investment property makes a lot of sense. This decision especially makes sense if you plan to spend more time here as the years march on. Here are some basic numbers you can use when determining if it makes sense for YOU. In this example, I've selected a well-priced golf course Reef

st croix investments: Property Taxes in the Virgin Islands - Court Decides & Settlement Reached - 01/30/11 01:13 PM
A judge has lifted the injunction freezing VI tax values and rates at the 1998 level, ending the long battle over the Virgin Islands property tax system.

In 2003, the VI court ruled in the plaintiffs' favor, and issued an injunction freezing property valuations at 1998 levels, the

I recently received this nice note from buyers I helped purchased real estate on ST Croix:"I wanted to let you know how happy we are with our condo purchase in St Croix. "At first we were a little nervous about buying a condo so far away but the closing process was much easier than we thought. After transferring the funds, we only had to sign a few papers and the condo was ours! " Even though we decided to come for the closing, it was nice to know we didn't have to be there if we couldn't make it. Everyone you recommended during the

st croix investments: Christiansted, VI - Land for Sale - St Croix - Yellow Cliff - Hope & Carton - Investment Opportunity - 10/13/10 10:05 PM
This .72 acre plot on the east end of St Croix would no doubt have sea and Buck Island views from a second floor. The land will be cleared in a few weeks. The homesite has easy access, and would be an easy build on the gentle slope. Cistern and septic are required; power and telephone are nearby. The location is close to the beaches of Coakley Bay and Solitude Bay, restaurants, marinas, and 2 golf courses. Much of the weather on St Croix comes from the east, so residents there enjoy good breezes. Neighborhood Watch is active. Finished homes range from

st croix investments: St Croix Real Estate Recovering Strongly - 08/29/10 02:50 PM
Global Property Guide recently posted an thorough analysis of US Virgin Island Real Estate. While they addressed all three islands, St Croix, St Thomas, and St John, the statistics and outlook presented below are for St Croix. Read the entire article at GlobalPropertyGuide.com. Our housing market has still not quite recovered from 2008, similar to the rest of the North American real estate market, but statistics and corporate commitments on the island give reason to be optimistic. There is no question that Gov. deJongh's territorial government - which oversees all three islands - is a major reason for the economic recovery. He is positioning all of the

st croix investments: Christiansted, VI - Judith's Fancy - Exceptional Oceanfront Home - 07/20/10 04:53 PM
I work in St Croix as a buyer's agent - and one of the many things I enjoy is finding "exceptional" deals. Usually, when I spy a home or land or condo that is a really good value, it sells quickly. Unfortunately, many times these properties sell before I can even get the word out to my customers! There are bargains on St Croix in all price ranges and for every kind of buyer. Breakers Villa is not for everyone......but if you are looking for a waterfront home that will produce a good income until you are ready to live in it, then this could
