Land Plot for Sale

Opportunities for International Investors in the Greek Tourism Sector "Mainly due to the mortgage crisis in the USA, land prices all over the world are dropping, making this an excellent period for great land investment opportunities - some of which are, well, greater than the others. Which is exactly the case with Greece. In Greece, apart from the considerable reduction in land prices - which used to increase literally every month during the past five years - there are another three huge factors, that make the Greek Land Investment Market hard - and costly - to ignore. First, the low prices of excellent plots of land in Greece. Unlike its Mediterranean "neighbours" Italy, France and Spain, land prices in Greece are still relatively low (although that is estimated not to last long - see below). Second, the lack of a reliable national land registry, which has possibly been the biggest problem in the past, is coming to a final solution. A modern, centralized and online accessible land registry is set to be completed by 2010 - which, according to most relevant studies, is the year that land prices will begin climbing again. Third, the not-so-serious motives for investors that the Greek Government used to provide, are now a thing of the past. There is a national plan of high priority to increase the Greek tourism by no less than 50% in the next five years. This, in simple Greek, means that there will be huge, one-of-a-time opportunities for land investors in Greece, during these five years. According to numerous studies that monitor the trends of the Greek Real Estate Market, in many areas of tourism interest, the predicted increase in land prices, during that five year period, is estimated to be between 100% and 150%. As many relevant studies show, and as we ourselves have experienced, since the beginning of 2008 there has been a rapid increase of interest from international investment companies, who want to exploit the "tidal wave" of tourist development that currently takes place in Greece. Most of these companies are from the UK, Scandinavian countries, the United Arab Emirates, Russia, Israel and China. There are still great opportunities throughout the country, especially in Pelio magnesia greece, but the time to act is now. As the CEO of a big investment fund has recently said: "In the end of the 90s it was Spain. Now it's Greece."
