Miami real estate experts predict a wave of Colombian buyers in the market following the election of leftist Gustavo Petro as the nation’s new president. Merrick Manor is already reporting a substantial increase in activity from prospective Colombian buyers and their real estate agents since June’s election.
A new article from The Real Deal details how Miami brokerages are ramping up their outreach to Colombia in anticipation of Colombians rushing to get their money out of the country before Petro is sworn in next month. The piece cites the Miami Association of Realtors’ list of countries whose residents searched online for Miami residences in May. Colombia topped the list for the third straight month.
At Merrick Manor in Coral Gables, sales agent Zenaida Figueroa is having many calls with potential buyers from Colombia and giving presentations about the luxury building to groups of real estate agents with Colombian clients.
“There is real urgency to get money out of Colombia as quickly as possible,” Figueroa said. “Miami real estate has historically been a safe haven for Latin Americans in countries with political instability. Merrick Manor’s flexible bulk packages are particularly generating interest from Colombian buyers.”
Petro is set to be sworn in as Colombia’s first leftist president on Aug. 7.
