Finding offers in a difficult real estate market

View from Santa Cruz la Laguna

Not surprisingly, lately real estate prices are being negatively influenced by the combination of lower property cash flows – mostly because of less demand for residential space, increased availability and now we also calculate climate as a possible negative factor.

Signs of a Real Estate-climate change
After the global financial crises the commercial values of realty has dropped and in Guatemala, especially the Lake Atitlan region, the climate influenced residential property prices and sales in 2010. A combination of emotions and reality was the base for that.
