With the current real estate crisis in the United States expanding into other countries smart investors are looking for appreciating real estate elsewhere. Belize offers just that with prized seclusion, a tropical climate, exquisite island presence and affordable property prices. With the foreign market gaining steam, Belize's real estate provides an international location that is still appreciating in value. According to Macarena Rose the president of the Belize National Association of Realtors, Belize real estate has appreciated on average 55% over the past five years.

Oceanfront condos and real estate consistently holds its value during economic downturns and oceanfront property on the Caribbean like the recent development on the island of Ambergris Caye that Las Terrazas provides is an exceptional investment opportunity.

Belize is the only Central American country where English is the national language. Belize is an increasingly popular vacation-home destination for Americans and Canadians. European buyers, particularly English buyers, are also still common especially since Belize, a British colony until 1981, still has many European ties and influences.

Compared to other Caribben locations Belize offers real estate at good prices, with oceanfront vacation condominiums starting in the $200,000s.
