For a long term investment in the "greenest" jewel of the Caribbean, take a look at the little known island called the Commonwealth of Dominica. Formerly it has not been easy to make a living in Dominica, but things are changing. Improved infrastructure and communications, a stable government and support from external organizations are contributing to making the country attractive to outside investment.

There is not a great deal of real estate for sale in Dominica. The majority of existing construction tends to be small and though charming, is in need of modernizing, strengthening and bringing up to standard. There are a few large property for sale, and also some resorts and hotels, either half built or a casualty of insufficient guests.

There are many different benefits that obtain from investing in property for sale in the Commonwealth of Dominica, these include:

·   New business opportunities for overseas investors through the development of tourism and environmental projects

·   An opportunity to have a second offshore property for sale in one the most beautiful islands in the Eastern Caribbean: a World Heritage Site, where building costs are 1/3 of those in other EC countries.

It’s not difficult to see why so many people jet out to the Dominica for a dose of rest and relaxation each year, fuelling a stable tourism-based property market. And it appears that these tropical islands have confounded the doom mongers who expected a downturn in the US real-estate market to have a knock-on effect in the Caribbean. These concerns have proved to be unfounded, as both tourist numbers and the demand for property from overseas investors continue to grow steadily, meaning that the Dominica property market continues to flourish and will continue to do so in the future.

While these islands may only be a short hop from the USA or Canada, it seems that the number of British buying property for sale in the Dominica is on the increase, mainly due to the Euro and Pound trading well. We are seeing a lot more Europeans too, especially Spanish, Germans, French and Swiss. But it’s the British in particular who feel most at home with the Dominica property.
