Investment 2008

In 2008, Cape Verde along with other countries saw a down turn in people buying property abroad due to the financial crisis. Since then re-sale properties have not, in the main, held their value and many people that needed to sell their property for personal or financial reasons, sold at a much lower price. New properties and resorts were still built and these in most case were sold. Some developments/resorts were completed and are fully operational. However, other developments were not finalised, some were put on hold, while some remain unfinished. This situation occurred on a number of Cape Verde Islands and most likely in other countries.

Times change

Many things have progressed in Cape Verde over the years, some very slowly. People looking to invest long term may not see a quick return for their money and those looking for a place in the sun for family holidays will need to consider the 'what if' factor, meaning the unforseen things that can go wrong or change, in general and individual circumstances. Remember, financial situations will continue to change in various countries, as will family life.

In previous years many people invested in smaller projects while others put down deposits on properties that were 'Off-Plan'. Many bought on Sal Island as the PR was that Sal was the next up and coming tourist destination. Within the FAQ's there are some general comments made in those earlier times which helped a number of people consider whether they wanted to buy a property in Cape Verde, such as to what type of things needed considering personally, as well as some people's comments on their personal experiences.These have now been archived for reference purposes but are still available to view.
