International Real Estate - is it better to buy in the USA?

Recently my husband and I went on a cruise.  It was our first cruise, and we visited the Western Carribean with some friends of ours.  We stopped in Montego Bay, Jamaica, WI and then went to the Grand Cayman Islands, and the last stop was Cozumel, Mexico.

While we were on our journey, of course I wanted to see the international real estate available for sale. 

 In Jamaica, I saw some beautiful homes and the prices were listed in US Dollars.  Many of the homes were over  $1 million USD.  I did find an unassuming home for sale at $600,000 which is surely more reasonable.   You can search for them on the Coldwell Banker Jamaica website today.

When we visited the Grand Cayman Islands we decided to take a snorkel tour of the reef.  As we stepped onto the small boat that would take us to our snorkel destination we drifted slowly down a canal.  There were some homes for sale here too, but everything in Caymans is expensive.  A gallon of gasoline was almost $6.00.  The tour guide said that a gallon on milk was around $10.00 Here’s a link to view homes for sale in the Cayman Islands.

Our last stop was Cozumel, where we just relaxed at the beach all day.  They did have homes for sale in Cozumel that were  in more reasonable price ranges.

After visiting all of these beautiful Caribbean locations, it is still clear that if you want a wonderful home for a price you can afford, look no further than TEXAS!  We have homes available in many different price ranges.  We have homes for sale on the lake, on acreage, in the big city, or in a small town.  If you are looking for a great place to call home, call the North Texas Top Team today and we will help you find the perfect home!

Melissa, what a cute post, I have to let you know that the good old USA is still one of the best places to invest. Many of my Italian, German, Canadian and Chinese clients understand this concept well!

Tracy, we had such a great time.  It was our first cruise ever and we went with some friends who had not been either.  It was a learning experience for all of us...but so much fun!
