I have been a reader and occasional poster on this site for about a year now. Have read many posts lately that the property values on the North Coast have started to take off. Was just wondering if anyone could explain why this is happening now? Seems that the economy is terrible, political situation questionable, inflation sky rocketing, currency depreciating etc - funny time for real estate to increase in value. Could it be that the world is finally discovering DR? Could it be that the price to build new has increased greatly because of the bad exchange? Is this a short term increase or just the start of long term real estate price increases? Just wondering everyones thoughts on this - Escott you seem to be very knowledgable on DR Real estate - do you have any thoughts on this? Thanks Tom
