The prices of real estate Ecuador have risen slightly in recent years thanks to Ecuador’s growing economy, but they are still inexpensive in comparison with U.S. prices and cheap when compared with real estate in Europe. As property prices are steadily appreciating, now is a great time to invest in Ecuador real estate. An oil boom—created by the completion of a new oil pipeline to the coast, combined with record oil prices in 2005/2006—has also added even more intrinsic value to a property investment in Ecuador. Combine this with Ecuador’s equatorial sunshine, the choice of spectacular mountains, high plains, jungle, or coastal settings, and the unvaryingly friendly and welcoming nature of Ecuador’s people, and you have a combination for a quality of life that’s hard to beat.
Aston Lloyd & Partners notes that while there are good Ecuadorian real estate buys all over the country, the best buy right now in Ecuador’s property market is unquestionably the purchase of old Spanish colonials in Quito’s historic center. The city is in the process of restoring the old colonial center, something which caused property values to rise rapidly in Cuenca and Guayaquil upon completion. Yet the tremendous value found in these irreplaceable antique homes—many in the $40,000 to $50,000 range—has not yet been recognized by the Ecuadorian investors.
