Retire to Affordable Nicaragua
Baby boomers are starting to look at Central American real estate and in particular Nicaragua Real Estate as a desirable place to retire. And why not? Nicaragua, once riddled with civil unrest, has transformed into a beautiful, tranquil and affordable place to relax and enjoy life. There is quite literally something for everyone in beautiful Nicaragua
Nicaragua is certainly one of the most reasonably priced places to live in the western hemisphere. Known as the bread basket of Central America, the prices for fresh vegetables and fruits are very, very low. The cost of dairy, poultry and world class beef is less than half the price you would find in a North American market.
Every part of Nicaragua has something different to offer a retired couple looking for authentic Central American culture. Everywhere in Nicaragua you will find the same slowed down pace of life. You will have time to enjoy a beautiful ocean sunset, wander through Colonial towns, go for a walk on the beach, enjoy a book in a hammock, or visit with locals and other expatriats.
Planning for the weather becomes much less of an issue when you live in Central America. The weather is warm all year round, and there are just two distinct seasons – the warm dry season, and the warm wet season. The other notable weather pattern are the almost year round offshore winds, which help to keep the heat in the dryer hotter coastal towns at bay. If you prefer a more temperate climate, you may want to consider the central and northern mountains, where the cooler wetter climate at altitude creates the perfect environment for world class coffee farms.
Nicaragua real estate has been a well kept secret until recently. Always affordable, with the world wide economic crisis of 2009, some Nicaragua real estate opportunities have become very inexpensive indeed. It is now possible to get a 2 bedroom/2.5 bathroom luxury condo with fabulous ocean view for $139,000.00. In 2007, these same condos were being gobbled up for $220,000.
Give some thought to Nicaragua as a retirement destination. The beauty of the land and the friendliness of the people are sure to capture your heart. Above all else you can afford to buy in Nicaragua but perhaps not for long. Investigate the opportunities of Nicaragua real estate and see for yourself.
