The boom is far from over in Brazil.On the contrary,it has barely started.
When property prices rise to levels akin to the Caribbean (and the locals do not earn much there either) that is the appropriate time to insert a check step.
At just over 8 hours from Gatwick, the same year round gorgeous weather, great beaches,but without the extreme conditions like tropical storms and hurricanes and properties at approx a quarter of the price,overlook this emerging lifestyle destination at your own loss.
Isn't this market just like the other booming 'poor' countries i.e Bulgaria, India....Where is your secondry market ?? if the locals earn only $20 a day ??
