latest insider info on beaches, resorts, timeshares, condos & real estate
Ever since condos starting to appear onto Aruba’s real estate scene, I started to pay more attention to them and write more about them. The posts and photographs of the condos received a lot of attention from people seeking information.
The information giving process towards potential clients seems to be deficient by the developers. People don’t always want to be pushed into a sales appointment or a pushy information meeting, but are rather curious about the project and the possibilities. People are just shopping around until the perfect condo with the perfect price appears. I’ve received several e-mails by people just like that asking for that kind of information. I was ready to help out naturally. Take note, developers.
Location location location
Perhaps the oldest rule in real estate is that the location of the property must be top notch. The majority of the condos here in Aruba are planned to appear broad area of Eagle Beach or Palm Beach. The beach will be at walking distance most of the time.
It also means that such an A1 location, with a spectacular view, isn’t going to come cheaply. Be prepared to fork over more than a quarter million US dollars for a smaller unit. Judging by the fact that property isn’t available in abundance on such a small island, it is highly unlikely that the price is going to come down any time soon.
Regardless the size of the unit, they have one thing in common: they’re highly luxurious. Expect to find many amenities typical of the contemporary condo project. Some of them even offer some resort amenities.
