Miami Property Booming for Foreign Investors

Miami tourism is growing and so is the Miami property market. Dubbed the New Manhattan by the US property media. The Greater Miami association of Realtors states that the Miami property boom will add more than 100,000 homes to Miami. Many of these Miami properties are built with foreign buyers in mind. Exchange rates are favorable in Europe and with 28 per cent rises in prices in one year the time to buy Miami property is now.

Getting know Miami

Miami is Florida's most populated city, sitting at the south eastern tip of the most south eastern state of the United States, bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the east, the Gulf of Mexico to the west and the neighboring states of Alabama and Georgia to the north.

Most visitors aren't here for Miami itself, but rather to visit Miami Beach, an entirely separate municipality. Miami is on the mainland, while the city of Miami Beach is on a thin barrier island about 6km (4mi) to its east, across Biscayne Bay - locals call it the Billion Dollar Sandbar

Getting there

Miami is served by two main airports: Miami International Airport (MIA), about 19km (12mi) west of downtown, and the Fort Lauderdale/Hollywood International Airport (FLL), about 48km (30mi) north of the city. MIA is one the USA's busiest in terms of aircraft and number of passengers. Miami is the main US/Latin American gateway, and the airport is served by everyone and his brother's (including Brothers to the Rescue) airlines. Most major European airlines have services to Miami.
