followups on specific real estate questions
Hi Samuel, I just posted my response about Title Insurance in Nicaragua as a separate forum topic.
As for your questions - again it's hard to say specifically without having been there with you - but of course most real estate agents would want you to buy a property that gains them the most commission (you'll never know what their real commission arrangements are) or gets them out of a tight spot.
Of course, property values have gone down due to Ortega's return to power and increasing disrespect for civility. I just spoke with one foreigner who said that the prices are falling through the floor on foreigner-owned properties because people are leaving and also need the money.
You ask why would one purchase anything in Central America, when values have come down a lot in the USA. Well, perhaps you could share with us why you are considering it in a separate discussion thread or blog entry; if so I will also share with you why I am considering it.
By the way, have you taken a look at the rest of the articles in our Nicaragua Discussion Forum section? For instance, the story about confiscations and multiple owners on a farm not far from the one I owned in Nicaragua?
