As the economy begins to improve in North America the decline of real estate prices in Roatan has slowed significantly. With that said this may be one of the last super cheap deals on a condo in Parrot Tree. The owner has been chasing the market for a while with price reductions but he has finally become serious about selling.

Well the best kept secret of the Caribbean island of Roatan is no longer. Yesterday National Geographic Magazine published its Top 10 Pick of Best Summer Vacation Destinations and our little island was their number nine pick.

Parrot Tree Beach

This well respected magazine article will be a huge boost to tourism on Roatan as well as a much needed “shot in the arm” for Roatan Real Estate industry. With the continued support of Continental and Delta airlines providing direct flights to the island, tourists looking for a new place to vacation will find it easy to make travel plans and enjoy their summer get away on a tropical island.

There is no shortage of things to do here during your stay. Of course there are the diving, snorkeling and fishing trips you would find on an island and new this year is an 18 hole, Pete Dye designed, championship golf course. So bring your clubs and come on down. If you would like assistance in planning your trip feel free to give me a call 831 359-4244.

As the Roatan real estate market begins to gather speed there will be fewer deep discounted properties that savvy buyers will be able to take advantage of. The most recent troubled owner of a Beach Front Condo in Parrot Tree has dropped the price of their unit to $199,900. This is a rare price for these furnished one bed room condos that are located right on the white sand beach.

I know many of you travel, or tried to travel over the holidays. Hopefully you were not stranded in the blizzard that hit the northeast U.S. The press is still reporting airport closures as I’m writing.

If you are saving your vacation days for the upcoming weeks I hope you are considering Roatan as your warm water destination. Our winter rains have past and we are currently having the best weather you could wish for. Sunny and warm, translation….no snow.

The hotels on Roatan were booked solid through New Years but many still have reservations available for January if you plan quickly. If you are looking for a recommendation for an excellent hotel on a spectacular beach you might check out Parrot Tree Plantation.

This is a perfect place to relax after the hectic holidays and warm you body in the sun. Snorkeling and diving are at your door step and the new golf course is 10 minutes away.

If you would like assistance with reservations I would be glad to assist you. You can call me at 831-359-4244 or send me an email, Philip@RoatanLiving.com

Have a wonderful and prosperous New Year, Philip

I am often asked about the demographics that make up the buyers here on Roatan. Some people think that there are a lot of Central American buyers and there are a few. However the vast majority of people buying Roatan Real Estate are from North America. To be more specific the United States and Canada.

A minor segment of the market that has grown in the last few years is the European sector, especially since Henry Morgan Resorts started direct flights from Italy. Another growing segment are the Canadian buyers. In part due to the shrinking dollar value giving the Canadian dollar more buying power, but also because West Jet has been introducing Roatan to Canadians with their direct non-stop flights during the cold winter months.

The down turn in the global economy during the last two years had a predictable effect on Roatan Real Estate as it did on the world wide real estate market. Home prices are generally down 30-40% from their peak in 2007. This means great deals for buyers that have the foresight to see that Roatan is poised to grow substantially in the coming years into a vibrant destination.

I wanted to take a minute and welcome all the House Hunters International viewers who were inspired by the episode that aired featuring Roatan and searched for information on our island.

There are direct flights from Houston TX on Continental Airlines or from Atlanta GA on Delta Airlines. If you need a recommendation for a place to stay I would be glad to help you with that as well. Don’t forget our buyers stay free!

Well here is the latest bargain on real estate here in Roatan. Home site lots in Parrot Tree reduced 30%! That takes the price back to 2005 levels. These lots are still owned by the developer and he needs to move some of these properties to keep the cash flowing so buyers are going to save a bundle.

Parrot Tree Plantation Hillside lots over Marina

My favorite lot is one of the view properties above the Marina. It is lot 116 and will sell now for $105,000. It has a view over the Marina to the turquoise water of the reef and even to the mountains of mainland Honduras.

If a stunning home site with unlimited possibilities is your Caribbean dream then you can combine this great lot with the lot below to make a site suitable for an infinity edge pool to take your breath away.

If you would like some additional information abut this property or others in our Roatan MLS database please write or give me a call. I look forward to being your Realtor on Roatan.

This pool is the most beautiful pool on the island. It is has water falls, multiple fountains, two levels with an infinity edge and even a water slide for the kids. The hotel has been renting for a few months and plans are underway for an official opening later this month.
