The Context of Colombian Investment

"A report by Henley & Partners and New World Wealth highlights the growing presence of millionaires in Florida, where 620 individuals hold liquid assets exceeding $100 million." This phenomenon extends beyond real estate investment; it reflects a quest for security and stability during uncertain times. "In this context, Florida emerges as an attractive refuge, with 35% of these millionaires hailing from Latin America, Colombia being one of the most represented countries."

The Instability in Colombia

"The Petro administration has faced criticism for its economic policies, raising concerns about the country's future." Political instability and economic strategies have led many to reassess their investment options. "In light of this situation, Colombians are opting to diversify their assets and seek safer alternatives abroad."

Florida: An Attractive Destination

"Florida has solidified its position as the prime destination for Colombians investing in real estate." According to the National Association of Realtors in the United States, "Colombians now represent 4% of foreign property investors in the state, trailing only Mexico." Cultural proximity, characterized by the Spanish language and business opportunities in emerging markets, has been a decisive factor in this trend.

International Comparison: Dubai and Florida

"The interest in real estate investment is not limited to Florida; Dubai has also seen a significant uptick in property purchases by Colombians." According to Thorne Global Real Estate, "Colombians lead among Latin American millionaires in Dubai, accounting for 45% of this group." The tax advantages and legal stability of the United Arab Emirates have made this destination equally attractive, complementing the trends observed in Florida.
