Intermediate cities promote real estate investment
As we all know, 2023 has been a challenging year for the real estate sector in Colombia. However, intermediate cities are positioning themselves as attractive places for investment.
MTS Consultoría + Gestión highlights that despite the decline in home sales and the complex economic situation the country is going through, cities such as Bucaramanga, Manizales, Pereira, and Ibagué are experiencing significant growth in the real estate sector. We are even seeing a trend in which buyers are choosing to move to more rural and countryside areas of the city. This trend has led to homes for sale in Pereira becoming one of the most sought-after properties in the real estate sector. In addition, this growing demand is also attributed to investment in infrastructure and the economic development that the sector is experiencing.
Due to their growth, increased value, and attractiveness, these cities are ideal for living, investing, and building. According to the results of the 2022 City Competitiveness Index, the city of Bucaramanga ranks fifth with a score of 6.26 out of 10, Manizales sixth with 6.21, Pereira seventh with 5.95, and Ibagué eleventh with 5.58.
Is it a good time to buy a home in Pereira?
The City Without Gates is known for providing an excellent quality of life to its residents, thanks to its temperate climate and strategic location that allows easy access to important areas of the country, urban centers, and tourist attractions in the region.
On the other hand, it is important to note that the prices of apartments for sale in Pereira are usually considerably more favorable compared to properties located in cities such as Bogotá and Medellín. This price difference is largely due to the phenomenon of gentrification that has taken place in the capital of Antioquia, which has led to a significant increase in housing values in that area. In addition, various residential construction projects are underway in Pereira, contributing to a positive appreciation of real estate in the city.
