Roatan News
In the past two months Roatan Bay Islands has really hit the radar screens of various publications.
Kiplingers.com has mentioned in as on of the 'Top Eight Places in the World' to retire
'Islands Magazine' has named Roatan as the 'Number One Island in the World' to retire on
And 'Ocean Home Magazine' has named 'Keyhole Bay' a great development here on Roatan as one of the 'Top 20 Developments in the World'.
If you are looking for that location that beats to a different drummer, democratic country, mostly English speaking, cool ocean breezes, white sand beaches and aqua waters you really should look into Roatan.

January 2010 Roatan Real Estate Newsletter
- “Spring Planting?”
- The Right “Fit”

- “Spring Planting?”
Strange some of what you do here. I spent a few hours last weekend planting tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and radishes from seed. I realize many of you are there in the cold and snow and months away from Spring, but here it was a day that was sunny and not a cloud in the sky. I chuckled actually when I ordered the seeds on line. The tomatoes I picked from the catalog stated “this variety will produce all the way until first frost”. Hmm. No frost here,…… ever. I have to wonder how this will work out. I can honestly say that I do not miss winter much and that from someone who cross country skied for about 30 years. One of the little perks of living in a tropical climate.
The above said, it certainly has been “chilly” here, with nights in the low 70’s, though even compared to the temps I have been seeing in Florida in the 20’s, 30’s and 40’s. In a Zogby Poll last year it estimated that over 10% of people living in the U.S. were considering a move out of the U.S., (both part time and full time), weather was certainly one of the main reasons.
- The Right “Fit”
Sitting where I sit I see many different clients and their reasoning and motivations for buying their dream on this little tropical island. Some are looking down the road 5 to 10 years towards retirement and wish to “get in early” in regard to a place to retire to. They have options of buying vacant land as their choice, others a condo or home to visit, rent out and help pay for itself until it is “their time”, whether that be vacations or retirement some of these people may have the option of doing such with an IRA or 401K. Some are not very well traveled, the kids have or will be “leaving the nest” and they think it is now their turn to have a little life, a little adventure. These people often are on a quest to find themselves,……. once again. Having spent the last 20 or 30 years raising children they can be “the life is short, get some mentality”, which I actually tend to agree with and one of the reasons I got here. There also are those who feel their country is going the wrong direction at this time and are looking to get funds off shore to possibly help with wealth preservation or inheritance. Some may wish to set up a small business or enterprise on the island thus still earning a living, contributing to the local economy, while living in a tax free zone in this country and being able to take advantage of very large tax breaks the U.S provides for their citizens for people who live offshore.
It may just be the white sand beaches, aqua blue waters, great fishing, diving snorkeling or the relaxed island lifestyle that has been missing most of your life in the lands of “hustle & bustle”. Just thinking of not having to shovel snow again would work for me.
Whatever motivated you to have found Roatan may be the same reasons you have for considering your property purchase. We welcome you as readers and encourage you to follow your dreams. We suggest you ask all the right questions. Research, visit, and email. If the people you email do not email back, email those that do. I can help some, both with answers, and if you wish a free “Investment/Relocation” Guide, (over 300 pages) at no charge. If you wish a copy just ask and I will send you one.
If you feel you would like the convenience of getting all your questions answered all at one time you may wish to participate in one of our “Discovery Tours”. The next is the last week of February and may be just what you are looking for. http://roatan-realestate.com/roatan-investment-tours.php
- This month’s “Best Deals”
There are so many reasons and so many deals in real estate across the globe that make it a compelling argument that now is the right time to buy. Obviously each person needs to determine and evaluate their goals and objectives at this great time to purchase.
There are 20+ options to buy home sites on the island for less than $30,000 alone. Developers here, like developers there, would being willing to listen to offers that two years ago they would have never considered. There are some very good deals out there right now and buying while prices are low and many Sellers are motivated is the perfect time.
I have compiled some choices that I feel are some of the best alternatives available for Homes, Condos, and coveted beach and water front home sites. Some of these examples have been reduced substantially. Other selections are very good values in some very nice locations.
Originally listed by another company for $599,000 this Seller just again dropped the price
all the way to $195,000. Beach front! The lot is work this price!
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=436
This first piece was just reduced $50,000.00 . It is a nice piece of beach that is shaped in a manner that would allow two buildings to be built or subdivided if one wished to.
For a piece of beach front it is value priced –
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=574
2br/2ba condo only $135,000 U.S. In West End? T his Duplex was originally listed as an unfinished project at $269,000. The Seller said “Move It Out” and reduced his price to $199,000 AND he would sell one of the two floors if someone wished to do that!. Either floor would cost between $30 to $40K to finish – price variance based on your choice of finish materials, thus ending up with a concrete constructed 2br unit in West End for $135 to $145K is unheard of.... Check it out here-
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=413
This is a very nice view parcel in West End that was just reduced $19,000. Breezes, views, water, electric a great price on something that could have sold for double this a couple years ago.
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=406
This small parcel in between West Bay and West End is a great little spot that the owners
want moved. They reduced the asking price $20,500.00.
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=573
This piece at $28,500 asking is a great spot to put some cash for the future on the east portion of the island.
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=483
The Developer wishes to move on of the newly released ocean front home sites and will discount any one you choose by 30% to the first person that closes on one. In a protected harbor a great spot for a boater.
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=611
This condo unit is top of the line in fact the President of this country Roberto Micheletti just spent two nights in it for New Years on West Bay. It is priced at over $200,000.00 less than what another all but just like it is for sale in the same building!
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=307
Want a nice piece to land bank and to buy when prices as depressed. here is 9.8 acres
on the west end of the island right on the West Bay / Flowers Bay road. Just reduced $50,000
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=592
How about a dive resort. Originally listed for $ 2.3 Million. Now just $1.5 mil. Get away from it all.
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=271
This one is definitely a jewel. Extremely well maintained. Top condition, would be a good rental when you are not here. A very short walk to the white sand and blue waters of West Bay Beach!
http://roatan-realestate.com/listing.php?id=610
-"Trading Places"
I have a client that has a home on a spectacular lake in the very shadows of a tropical rain forest and volcano in Guatemala who would like to trade it for a home on the Island of Roatan or for a place in Southern Florida. If you wish additional information or have something you have and are interested, let me know.
Do you have property on the island you wish to sell? Drop us a line, maybe we can help. Our top rated web site gets considerable traffic and maybe just what the doctor ordered. Our monthly newsletters have been published for over eight years and are a great way for thousands to keep informed about the island whether it be the real estate “pulse” of the area or just to find out about a new restaurant. It has helped many sell their property here and we may be able to help you. Drop us a line and maybe we can help.
We would like to wish all our readers a Happy, Healthy and Prosperous New Years. We hope that Roatan is one of your “resolutions” this year.
Best to all for 2010 and thanks for reading.

Wow what are these? Well these are the projections from the developer of Pristine Bay for their new Marina Villa Condos, (Black Pearl Pete Dye design golf course community) being offered for sale that were sent to me this past week. This project¹s property management is being done by the Lancaster Group (http://www.lancaster.com/About_The_Lancaster_Group.html )
I realize that there has never been anything like this offered in actual published returns from here before, if there has been I have not seen them. Can they be real? Lancaster Group is both very experienced and has a great track record but the way I look at these numbers is even if they are off by half, that is one half what is listed above, you are probably looking at double what anyone else on the island is offering in real money or has any real track record of such. Sure is worth a look with prices on units starting at only $348,000. Take a look. What a great place to retire/invest/visit. If you are not thinking about the golf, diving, “beach combing”, hammocking and investing at this place you certainly should be.

Sure is worth a look with prices on units starting at only $348,000. Take a look. What a great place to retire/invest/visit. If you are not thinking about the golf, diving, “beach combing”, hammocking and investing at this place you certainly should be.

Roatan Honduras - retirement real estate in the Caribbean-the great escape-Baby Boomers
If you are just starting to follow my blog you may wish to start on the one just previous to this. If you want more depth and detail there are several before that. In the past blog, dated April , 2009, I gave a bit of an overview of the island. In several of the posts predating that I gave some reasons why Roatan should be on your radar screen if you are a "Baby Boomer".
Fact of the matter is that "Baby Boomers" the thousands each day that have been retiring for the last three years and will be for the next twelve. We all have some very tough decisions ahead. In many respects we are the trail blazers. The "hippies", the generation that "colored outside the lines". When we were in grammar school there was no room for us. High school much the same. Colleges and Universities exploded at the seams. Vietnam, protests, environmental movements, womens rights, the computer,................... In the 70's the government "borrowed" our Social Security benefits. To date they are still "borrowed". With the current economic crisis and huge dept coming at us, our children and grand children chances are slim funds will be there for this huge group now looking at retirement on the horizon. I certainly am no economist but I am pretty sure that printing more money will be the only way out. That of course will have us relive the late 70's, early 80's scarred with large doses of inflation and devaluation.
I guess the question for us millions is where do we go from here. Most of us just lost about half of the savings we did have in the market turndown, have a major round of tax increases, money devaluation and possible health challenges ahead of us.
If you are not investigating living off shore somewhere you certainly should be. I have lived offshore for ten years now. I hope that I can share some of the possible advantages with all that take the time to read. My thoughts are that it may be a way for many to not only revisit the spirit that had in the 60's and 70's but also have the possible key to stretching the dollars you do have.
