Canadian Buyers Look to Brazil To Buy A Second Home in 2023

For the same reasons Canadians look to Mexico and Portugal—good weather and a lower cost of living—they’ve also had their eyes on Brazil.

CANADIAN Buyers seeking a country where they’ll have more purchasing power look to Brazil to buy a second home

For the same reasons Canadians look to Mexico and Portugal—good weather and a lower cost of living—they’ve also had their eyes on Brazil.

“The culture is very vibrant,” said Mike Smith, owner of property consultancy Brazil Beach House. “It’s 100% authentic Brazilian—you couldn’t be mistaken for being in Canada or America.”

In 2020, one Canadian dollar grew from 3.12 Brazilian real to 4 real. While the rate has since stabilized to around 3.8 Brazilian real, it’s still a good moment to invest in Brazilian real estate.

The country offers several options for residency, Mr. Smith said. One of them is via property investment: Those making a real estate purchase of 1 million real or more can apply for residency. Alternatively, Brazil offers a retirement visa, which offers residency to those with a monthly income of $2,000 or more

Mr. Smith said most of the Canadians he works with opt for Brazil over Mexico or the U.S. because they have some sort of connection to the country.

“Often, it’s not a random choice to come down to Brazil,” Mr. Smith said. The country—with its less-developed infrastructure, and stark inequality—tends to attract the more intrepid traveler, attracted to the country’s uniqueness and natural landscapes. Most second-home buyers in Brazil tend to come from Portugal and the U.K., according to a study by Knight Frank. 

“There are epic natural attractions in terms of mountains, waterfalls and tropical beaches,” Mr. Smith said. “It is the whole package—but it’s not for the faint-hearted.”

For those who do make the move, there are plenty of deals to be found. 

The northeastern state of Bahia offers miles of tropical coastline and is a focal point for luxury residential real estate development. Buyers there can find remote, sprawling villas surrounded by greenery or even properties on some of the private islands off the coast.

Prices in resorts along the northeast coast of Brazil are around C$452,000, or C$1,919 per square meter for villas and C$2,568 per square meter for apartments, according to a study by Knight Frank. Within the few ultra-luxury resorts, average values currently range between C$4,000-C$4,700 per square meter. 

For a more laid-back surfer vibe, Mr. Smith suggests Pipa, popular with international visitors and surfers. Homes there go for between C$200,000 to C$1.5 million, and tend to fetch good rental returns.

“In terms of property prices, you can get fantastic luxury homes at very affordable prices compared to North America and Europe,” he said.

American Expat in Brazil,Bob-Google Review for Mike and Brazil Beach House

American Expat in Brazil,Robert Hueck bought a beautiful beach front property in Natal.Here is what he had to say about his experience with Brazil Beach House.

American Expat in Brazil,Robert Hueck bought a beautiful beach front property in Natal.Here is what he had to say about his experience with Brazil Beach House;

Mike is a total pro and the best way for people outside Brazil, especially in the US or other English speaking countries, to investigate and purchase a beach house in Brazil. His website is definitely the best resource for locating beach homes in Brazil: excellent and the information is totally accurate!

Mike Smith is a man of high integrity. And, he is familiar with the local culture from years of living in NE Brazil. I started corresponding with Mike 2 years before we decided to fly to Brazil to look at houses. He was great in answering questions and providing information.

In 2019 we came to Brazil to look at beach houses. Mike was among the best real estate agents I've ever worked with, taking the time to drive us around and getting answers to all questions quickly. We decided buy a house north of Natal in a charming fishing village and loved it so much we have sold our home in the US and moved to Brazil!

Mike made the purchase process easy! And, over the last 2 years he has become a good friend and graciously helped us with tips about where to find certain businesses and other local resources to assist with the transition. We can't recommend Mike highly enough! And, we think NE Brazil is the place to retire.

The weather here is simply perfect. The ocean temperature, being close to the equator, is nearly the same year around: warm and pleasant, from the high 70s to low 80s F. However, the air temperature never gets hot. The unique phenomenon is the almost constant 5-10 mph trade wind from the ocean. The air blowing across the surface of the ocean results in the air temperature being nearly the same as that of the ocean: from the mid 70s at night to mid 80s at mid day. The balmy ocean breeze is always refreshing and simply delightful!

The other wonderful thing is the people. Hard working, friendly and warm. As far as the much hyped crime in Brazil, we have not seen or heard about any in 2 years. We feel far safer here than in the US. The police do an excellent job here.

Brazil is not "third-world," as many believe, but has everything you would find in the US: excellent hospitals and supermarkets (including Sams Club) with all familiar foods, good roads, and yet retains many charming ways of life lost in the US. People typically greet strangers in passing with "good day" and a smile. The weather is far better than Florida. The balmy breeze is like Miami Beach, but it never gets extremely hot like southern Florida. There is not the high crime of Caribbean and Central American countries. And, there are no hurricanes.

All in all, we highly recommend checking it out and Mike is the guy to help you.

Buying A Bargain Beach House in Brazil in 2021

Are you thinking of buying a beach house in Brazil in 2021? If so you have picked the right decade, year and moment as there has literally never been a better time to buy a property in Brazil.

Are you thinking of buying a beach house in Brazil in 2021 ?

If so you have picked the right decade, year and moment as there has literally never been a better time to buy a property in Brazil. Brazil Beach House has seen a big upturn in demand from foreign house buyers in Brazil over the past 12 months and this is in large part down to the Brazilian exchange rate which has tumbled over 40% since the beginning of 2020 and continues to slide to the US Dollar, Euro and British Pound.

Looking back to mid 2019 the exchange rate was hovering at 3.7 Reals to the Dollar. Today on January 11th 2021 we are at 5.4 which is a depreciation of 68%! Simply put, your 100,000 USD is today worth 540,000 reals compared to 370,000 reals just 18 months ago. This gives you a considerably increased bang for your buck and allows you to snap up a real Brazilian beach house bargain.

Brazil still has the spectacular beaches ,tropical rain forests,colourful,vibrant culture and warm loving people. It just happens to be a lot cheaper to visit and buy a lifestyle property there right now.

Yes you say, but what about the Corona Virus in Brazil?

It cannot be denied that Brazil is among the countries hardest hit by the virus. The government have grappled with the issue and have come up short in many respects but Brazil has not imposed the more severe personal restrictions on movement and personal freedoms.The vaccine is now being administered the country remains open for business, travel is still possible and Brazilians are generally following the rules on social distancing and mask wearing.

In spite of the pandemic,the Brazilian real estate market saw a big domestic surge in demand in the second half of 2020 as record low interest rates fuelled mortgage lending. The Brazilian luxury beach home sector also saw a big rise in sales as people began to re-assess their lifestyles, move away from the crowded cities and opt for more space,cleaner air and beautiful nature.

This trend is set to continue for 2021 so best to jump in while your dollars,euros or pounds remain strong.

I look forward to welcoming you to Brazil Beach House and showing you what you can buy on the beach in Brazil.
