Those who know me know that I am a person who likes to trust real sources, with a track record and solidity, and one of those is Finder.com, a global information platform dedicated to tracking investments and their current trends as a promoter of decisions based on data and trends.
On that page, we can see that 25% of people consider the real estate sector to be the most profitable investment of 2022, positioning itself above cash with 23.5%, cryptocurrencies with 15.3% and stocks with 15%, concluded a survey prepared by Finder.com worldwide.
While real estate is the most popular investment option in Latin America, people of different genders differ on how they will invest in 2022, with 25.4% of men thinking that cash is the best option, compared to 31.3% of women who believe that investing in property is the safest option.
By age group, 35% of those over 65 believe that property will be the best investment in 2022, while only 16% of young people aged 18 to 24 think the same.
If we take this as reality, I would venture to say that the survey results are not surprising given that property prices in Latin America have increased over the last decade (and the Dominican Republic is no exception).
In the Dominican Republic, in the last 12 months, we have seen how the prices of land, premises, houses and apartments, whether residential, tourist, industrial, commercial or corporate, have been rising rapidly.
In commercial real estate, the absorption of suitable and unfinished spaces has been impressive. This includes small, medium, and large office spaces for rent or sale, retail spaces in plazas or shopping centers, and even entire buildings. The leasing rate has surpassed previous years, and prices have stabilized, returning to pre-COVID-19 levels. Many spaces have even undergone a significant transformation from their original purpose; for example, a warehouse now an office, or a furniture store now a restaurant.
There's already a significant shortage of space in the industrial park. And the new projects being delivered now are being sold quickly and successfully. So if you're thinking about renting, buying, or selling a commercial space or office, this is your year.
