Save 50% to 70% on Your Caribbean Home So you vacation in the Caribbean, say you visit Roatan, (Isla De Bahia In Spanish) Honduras.

I'm sure your getting the picture.
Suddenly you realise that you have found your home.
You want to live/retire here and live in paradise forever.
Well good thing your visit was to Roatan.
Within the last four years with the economy of the United States slowly drying up and the rest of the world starting to sink into an economic quagmire, you have found yourself a grand opportunity.
You see the properties on Roatan have taking a dive of 50% and some up to 70% off the prices of 2007.
This is an Opportunity or grand proportions for the retiring professional in the US.
A home that would have cost $500,000 dollars in 2007 can be had for $200,000 today.
Logistics of Roatan Roatan - Roatan is the largest of a chain of Islands off the coast of Honduras.
37 miles long ad 5 miles across does not make for a huge Island.
Has a good infrastructure and all the needs of anyone from a Western Civilization.
Beauty of Roatan - Second largest reef in the world, with sparkling clean and crystal blue waters.
Average temperature is 85 degrees F year round.
You are literally surrounded by Beauty in flowers and plant life and Caribbean sea all around you.
Diving and fishing are exceptional with plenty dive shops to keep you equipped.
This all makes Roatan a very Popular Dive spot.
The People.
The people are the Islands real treasure.
A mix of Hondurans, Garifuna, Pirate, Slave and Indigenous people make life here exciting and fun.
Not to mention a community of expat's that are estimated above 3,000 people from all over the planet.
The Language - Until the mid 70's or so mostly English was spoken here.
Currently there is Spanish, English, and a Caribbean Kinda English spoken here, I call It Carriengli.
In the 90's Roatan was the major Real-estate boom of the Caribbean.
People would find out about the Island from various sources such as the Cruse ships that seemed to all start visiting in the mid 90's, and retirement communities the expounded the glories of Roatan.
Then of course came the Developers and Resorts.
So through the 90's and into 2007 the prices of housing and land were sent screaming for the heavens.
This boom was a product of the United States Real estate boom.
People bought 5, 6 10 homes and flipped them, came down to Roatan and bought Caribbean properties.
As such the prices were going up and up.
Of course until 2007 when the US housing market started to implode.
That imploding market brought a screeching halt to the housing boom here as the biggest property buyers were Americans.
Today there are a few dive shops and stores run by Europeans, Americans, and Canadians, but nothing like it was before.
The tourism is slowly starting to come back to the Island.
So what we have here is A Location ( Location, Location, Location) unlike any in the world that could not support a Land/Housing boom without its American buyers.
Now as any Smart buyer knows - Buy Low, Sell High.
Well Roatan is currently low - In fact I would put it at Super Low right now.
We visited a home with pristine views Beach access and only a one minute walk, $200,000 - Wait your kidding right? No Its true.
We are looking at a real opportunity here to own a Caribbean home at 1/10th the real value of the properties.
A Few realtors are still active here.
But there is a Great Buyers Agent available on the Island.
Only one, and as you know only buyer agents have your best interest in mind.
Here's a Few More Perks about the Island.
Well folks opportunity for those retiring in the US is knocking.
You will never ever see prices like this on these locations again.
I promise.

- Pete Dye golf course commenced close to two years ago.
This is the other major project that has progressed in the past year.
Pete Dye is the world's most celebrated golf course architect.
Perry Dye, Pete's son, is overseeing the project.
You expect the design and delivery quality from a Dye course, and that is being delivered with stunning Caribbean breeze and views while playing the course. - Opportunity One of the established projects, I caught word that the owner of a resale lot that had been listed at $160,000 was reducing his asking price to $50,000.
Good for you Bad for him "I need the cash" - You could choose any condo in one project for $175,000 but the offer ended as soon as two sold.
Just $200,000would have bought you a condo close to 1,000 square feet.
It's a long time since I've seen a condo like this in a Caribbean locale like Roatan for $175,000.
Well folks opportunity for those retiring in the US is knocking.
You will never ever see prices like this on these locations again.
I promise.
