Positive Mental Attitudes

-Market 'Feel'  ­PMA

Things here are pretty optimistic and no doubt that a "PMA",  Positive Mental Attitude, is a very important factor. The world economy and the political situation dampened the enthusiasm that was prevalent here for the past decade, but overall most people here are pretty upbeat. It is pretty hard not to be actually. The sand is still white, water is still aqua blue, the weather is warm and sunny, the people are still as friendly as ever and economically the island will do well this coming year. The losses that were experienced due to the economic and political situation this year will fade. You only need to look at the expansion of the Royal Caribbean cruise ship
dock and the opening, on November 20th this year, of the new Carnival Cruise Line port to see how life can spring right back to normal.

Baby Boomers Will Drive Real Estate Growth

Posted by Luis Miranda in NAR Baby Boomers and Real Estate Today , Latin America , International Real Estate , Boomers Real Estate , Boomers Generation , Baby Boomers

Luis Miranda
Baby boomers have been a driving force in many areas of the economy, culture and consumer attitudes for several decades. As the oldest boomers approach retirement in the next few years they will begin contemplating not just whether to retire, but also where they want to live in the next stage of their life. One big component of this decision is the housing choices that boomers will make as they decide whether to sell a home, relocate or invest in real estate.

As a group, baby boomers comprise the largest population cohort in the history of the United States & Canada.  The size of the group gives it vast influence over North American politics, popular cultural, and of course, real estate & interantional real estate.

To evaluate the influence of the baby boomers on the future of real estate, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) conducted a study in 2006. The findings of the research were published in report entitled Baby Boomers and Real Estate: Today and Tomorrow.

Even that the study is from 2006, and that we have lived tremendous times lately, that is exactly why the name of the study was "Baby Boomers and Real Estate: Today and Tomorrow". Demographics are demographics, and Baby Boomers are Baby Boomers. "Baby Boomers are the most powerful consumers in the marketplace today and will continue to be, regradless of the economic climate, for many years to come." - say David Weigelt & Jonathan Boehman in their great Book "Dot Boom."

It is impressive to be able to break distances and time.  It is great to be able to make your homework from your home before you travel. It is outstanding to make friends and contact people that already live where you want to move.

Online social communities have begun popping up all over the internet. As an expatriate, these type of Social Networks can be an incredible resource as you transition to your new country. Whether you are looking for Information, education, alternatives, meet new friends, locate old ones, or gain professional contacts, you are bound to find the people you are looking for online.

These type of social communities also have groups you can join to meet others with a similar interest.

Boomers Abroad

BoomersAbroad.com was born in direct response to hundreds of conversations with baby boomers from the USA and Canada who were seeking a new life, and to better understand how they might live abroad, travel abroad, relocate abroad, retire abroad and/or invest abroad. Leading industry experts and many of those who have journeyed ahead will share their personal experiences and knowledge in a great variety of areas.

Boomers Living Abroad

The number of Americans and Canadians living abroad, by today's count approximately 7 million (according to The Washington Post), is twice the population of Chicago and greater than that of 33 U.S. States. A number that has grown steadily over the past decade, and it is expected to more than double within ten years. In the next 20 years, 100 million baby boomers, from the USA and Canada, are going to retire. Five million baby boomers turn age 60 each year, Ten Thousand per day, Eight per minute, and scores of them are purchasing property abroad as vacation homes or investment homes. Naturally, many of them are auditioning these homes for potential primary retirement residences.

Boomers Abroad Online Community

At BoomersAbroad.com online community members can ask experts their questions, create their own profiles, join groups of those who share their particular interests, create their own groups, make friends, upload photos, and have their own blogs, among other features. Using the online community model, our goal is to provide the necessary information, education, guidance, resources, tools and alternatives to start boomers down the path of discovering and understanding all that living, retiring and investing abroad has to offer.
