Landcorp International: Canada´s residential market remains strong in 2014!
March 20, 2014 – Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada: Canada´s residential real estate market has remained strong for many years and 2014 looks to be no different. Government policy and an economy that successfully weathered the 2008 downturn have resulted in a positive outlook, according to a recent report from Fitch Ratings.
House prices are expected to remain consistent throughout 2014. Canada has a robust economy and mortgage performance has been very strong over the last decade, with little evidence of defaults.
“Canada´s luxury housing market has undergone serious transformations in recent years. The market is maturing and the appetite is unprecedented,” says Gurinder Sandhu, Vice President at Re/Max.
Canada welcomes 16 million tourists a year; many of these visitors decide to make Canada a permanent base by purchasing a second home in one of the beautiful regions.
Toronto broker, Barry Cohen, of RE/MAX Realtron Realty Inc, adds, “The prices are being increased due to wealthy locals moving home and international buyers wanting a safe place to invest their money.”
Surging stock markets, renewed consumer confidence and shortage of quality homes help lift prices in the major cities, making Canada an attractive investment opportunity.
Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada has seen more stable prices than many of the country’s biggest cities and prices are expected to remain steady. The $25 billion national ship building contract recently awarded to Halifax is expected to further boost the economy by creating new jobs and business opportunities within the region, making Nova Scotia an ideal place for a real estate investment opportunity.
Landcorp International has been introducing a unique premium residential development 30 minutes from Halifax, the capital city of Nova Scotia, to investors from more than 40 countries worldwide since 2007.
Forest Lakes Country Club will be a residential resort like no other in Atlantic Canada, situated just 30 minutes from Halifax international airport. The 1,700+ acre site is set in a rural area adjoining 80,000 acres of spectacular natural surroundings, which provide a constantly changing backdrop to this four-season resort.
“We have seen consistent growth in Canada and Nova Scotia, which is why we are proud to present an excellent off-plan plot investment opportunity at Forest Lakes Country Club, the premium, four-season resort just 35 minutes from Halifax International Airport,” says Landcorp International Managing Director, Ailse MacFarlane.

Historic moment for La Providencia Resort & Country club according to Landcorp International.
March 11, 2014 – Buenos Aires’: La Providencia Resort & Country Club, Buenos Aires’ leading five-star polo and golf resort, recently received full and final planning permission. This significant legal milestone in the progress of the development is great news for the project, which has already sold in excess of 250 plots to end buyers.
“This is a moment we have been working towards since we started the project in 2010,” says CEO Jan Sonnevi. “We are very proud to have reached this milestone and we are looking forward to taking the resort to the next stage now we have the final paperwork and documentation in place,” he adds.
Other positive news coming from La Providencia Resort & Country Club, which recently held an opening party for the launch of its tennis clubhouse, is the completion of Route 52 – the main road that connects the resort to the centre of Canning, Buenos Aires and Ezeiza International Airport. Having this critical piece of infrastructure finished will be a huge boost to the project, which is already proving popular with wealthy commuters who are attracted to the proposition of living just 35 minutes from the heart of the capital while enjoying a superior quality of life at La Providencia Resort & Country Club.
Landcorp International is offering international buyers the opportunity to purchase a plot from £30,000 at this unique development to build on, sell or keep. If they choose not to keep the plot, they have the option to sell it back to the developer at the same initial price they paid for it plus enjoy a return of 26% on their original investment in 18months.
“Argentina has become one of our best selling destinations for investors looking for real estate opportunities overseas,” says Ailse MacFarlane, Managing Director of Landcorp International.“Argentines see property as a safe investment option that historically has continued to increase in value even during turbulent economic times. Investing in land and property is the number one way to save for the future and traditionally has been the preferred method over other investment options in Argentina,” she adds.
“Now, international buyers are benefiting from this trend by investing in property and land in up-and-coming areas, particularly around the Buenos Aires area.”

Canada´s residential market continues to grow according to Landcorp International
February 17, 2014 – Nova Scotia, Atlantic Canada: Canada weathered the economic financial crisis better than any other western country. As a result its real estate markets took a different path to those of other industrialised countries such as the UK and USA. Canada´s residential market has proved strong over the last few years. According to independent market research, during the global economic downturn house prices fell by just 9% between 2008 and 2009 in contrast to the UK where prices fell by 26%.
Canada´s cities are renowned for the quality of life they offer residents; low interest rates and a strong economy have supported the domestic housing market which continues to grow.
“We have seen consistent growth in Canada and Nova Scotia, which is why we are proud to present an excellent off-plan investment opportunity at Forest Lakes Country Club, the premium, four-season resort just 35 minutes from Halifax International Airport,” says Landcorp International Managing Director, Ailse MacFarlane.
