Have you been thinking about owning a second home in the Bahamas?
With prices adjusted to more realistic levels, you may want to bounce into the New Year with a plan for buying real estate in the Bahamas.
Whether it's a home or vacant land, there are quite a number of real estate options open to you.
The Bahamas is an ideal location for a second home.
For residents of Nassau, it's an opportunity to get out of the fast lane and to invest in a piece of property that also will serve as a special haven.
It means turning the clock back to a more simple way of life. Mile after mile of unspoiled beaches and coast, hand line fishing, snorkeling, exploring the mangrove creeks, watching dazzling sunsets and sitting under star studded skies.
Our non-Bahamian friends are attracted to the islands of the Bahamas for the same reasons. And with today's technology, non-Bahamians have the comfort of being able to stay in touch with their families and the office as the internet is available on many of the Bahamas islands.
‘Island life' is whatever you make it. Whether it's a whirl of social activity and cocktail parties, or lazing on a hammock with a book and savoring the delights of home-made bread and coconut tarts from the nearby Mom and Pop shop.
Of course, a lot has to do with location. Abaco, the fastest growing ‘out island' in the Bahamas, has a good number of restaurants and fun spots, along with many places of natural beauty.
Harbour Island plays second home to the rich and famous. And Eleuthera, Exuma and Long Island, while not as developed, are gorgeous and are sprinkled with second homes.
If you're into big game fishing, Bimini and the Berry Islands may be more up your alley.
Each island in the Bahamas is unique and offers different real estate options.
