Honduras Shark Sanctuary
-Honduras Shark Sanctuary
Approximately 73 million sharks are killed each year, mainly for ‘shark fin soup’, a delicacy in many Asian countries. Honduras has joined other countries making their waters into a permanent shark sanctuary. This is good news for more than just the sharks.

Roatan, Honduras Christmas
Roatan Real Estate Newsletter - December 2009
This issue will be a a short one.
I wish to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas and a Happy & Healthy New Years. I hope
that all of you find a way to be "warm & cozy" over the next few days whether that be next to a
crackling fireplace or you are visiting a warmer climate.
The Holiday Season is always a time for reflection of life. A time for
realigning priorities, altering life's plans and setting new goals. This
especially true this season with economic times what they are, many without
work and unknown futures. For many a time of motivation and decision making.
My wife Nancy & I wish you all the best and hope that those who are blessed
with stability in their lives find time to be thankful for all they do have.
I realize you are all very busy, this one of the busier shopping weekends of
the year, with much of the east getting a very "White Christmas" Season as I
enter these words on my keyboard. Hopefully many of you have made Holiday
plans to fly south to your favorite warm weather tropical location. I am
sure the island here will see many both new and familiar faces.
For those of you staying in the cold and snow now may be the right time to
start daydreaming about the white powder sand, aqua blue warm Caribbean
waters and tropical breezes of Roatan. With Continental, Delta and TACA all
flying here direct it has never been easier to warm up on Roatan.
Remember our "Discovery Tour" at the end of February. It certainly is the
perfect time to make your plans to escape the cold and learn about our great
little island. - http://roatan-realestate.com/roatan-investment-tours.php
If you need some help getting around when you visit , here is a map link -
http://roatan-realestate.com/roatan-info.php
Cruise around the interactive map available or download a PDF hard copy that
you can print and bring with.
If you need a great place to stay there are many. Mayan Princess now under
new management is a very nice resort option as is Turquoise Bay for a
slightly more remote location. I you want to really get away from everything to
very remote, Royal Playa may be the place for you. All can be found with a simple
"Google" search. If you are looking more for a private place to call your own here is a good choice

Discovery/Investment Tour
-Timing is Everything!
Last summer I announced that Roatan Real Estate would start a new program,
the “Discovery Investment Tour”. These are a great option for people who
wonder if this island is the right place for them. People who are
considering a vacation home, or maybe a retirement residence or maybe just
for an investment. These tours are a very positive way for you to spend a
great week on a tropical island, be part of a group of people who are also
wondering if this is the place for them and have a complete package of
information and qualified experts to answer any question you may have. This
type of tour has experts from all venues; an Attorney, Title Insurance
Personnel, Ex-Pats who have made the move before you, an Accountant, and
others. No pressure, no stress, just a great time on a tropical island for
you to get every question answered.
Well as luck would have it, we scheduled one soon after the economic trauma
worldwide. Obviously not much we could do with that one except maybe plan
another. We did and wham, political events. We canceled. Well now it is time
to plan ahead. They say third time is the charm. February 22, 2009 is the
date we have set for the next one. It basically is the perfect time of the
year for this. Winter is brutal north of the Mason/Dixon line, the holidays
are over, it is absolutely gorgeous here. Add in that Valentines Day is the
week before and we are set for the PERFECT time of the year for this.
We basically arrange everything for you on this end except the flight. You
will have complete freedom to enjoy and learn. Go here for an overview of
the tour - http://roatan-realestate.com/roatan-investment-tours.php If
you have questions feel free to contact us at realty-inquiries@roatan-realestate.com Plan ahead folks, this is the perfect trip at the perfect time of year. What is the worst case scenario a great week on a tropical island basking in the sun and getting away from the winter? Sounds pretty good to my. How about you?

Really Hot Real Estate Deal
I sent this out to the VIP Club and got a lot of reaction so I thought others may be interested also. This does look like it will go pretty quickly.
I have another huge reduction offering today. This home was originally listed at $1.2 million dollars and has been reduced to $784,000. 00 firm. This home a short walk from West Bay beach could not be built for this little money. Turn key, has never been lived in, fully furnished. As good as it gets. 140,000 gallon cistern, ocean front, swimming pool,....too much to list.
If you are looking for a steal here it is.
If you are interested let me know and I will send you the latest flyer on it.

Roatan Bay Islands Golf -Pete Dye course
Real Estate Overview
An Overview is always a tough thing to do especially in the economic and political times we are in. The market certainly has changed here. There is far more of a Buyer’s market than in several years and there are a fair amount of very good deals floating around. My experience year to date is that there seems to be more Buyer’s interested in homes versus condos and home sites than previous years and budgets are tighter meaning that the lower end of the market
seems to be where most of the closings are. Being a cash market for the most part we really have no foreclosure or short sales, though there are some motivated sellers.
Pristine Bay/Black Pearl, the new Pete Dye design golf course community seems to be all but unaffected by anything that happens in the world and continues to move forward in their progress. Their new island hole is all but completed and there are people already doing some practice drives on the driving range.
Take a look here fro some updated photos just days old. The pre-construction stage of the new marina villas are impressive and value priced. Dye Designs are the top golf designer in the world with almost 300 courses. Pete Dye is one of only four designers in the world to be in the World Gold Hall of Fame. One very impressive place they are building here-
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=418
Overall at this point in time I believe the market is stable. There is no doubt that overall prices have decreased, people are more motivated to take offers that would not have been considered a year or two ago and if you are looking this is the best time in several years to look and invest at Roatan. It seems that the “pundits” are saying that the economy is turning around worldwide. Prices low, value high.
