Requests for real estate rentals increased on the border between Venezuela and Colombia
After the reopening of the border between Colombia and Venezuela on September 26, there was an increase of approximately 30% in requests for rental of real estate, commercial and industrial premises on both sides, as stated by the president of the Real Estate Chamber of the Tachira, Regal Labrador.
“Now is the time to buy, already speaking a little more in terms of investment. It is time to invest and buy because a rebound is expected. Demand has increased by about 30%. As long as this has a balance with supply, there will come a time when prices, by natural behavior, will begin to adjust upwards, ”he said in an interview with Unión Radio .
However, he stressed that the Venezuelan real estate market in the border towns of San Antonio and Ureña faces problems due to the lack of public services and legal certainty when it comes to attracting investment.
Labrador stated that payment transactions in these sectors are handled in Colombian pesos or preferably dollars. He also added that the real estate prices offered in Venezuela are up to 50% lower than in Norte de Santander.
The data handled by the Real Estate Chamber of Táchira revealed that in 2022 the real estate market has remained stable and that it only stopped 90% when the covid-19 pandemic arrived in the country.
