It's hard to get the feel of what the price of land is in Santiago, Sosua or Puerto Plata. I'm lost and have no idea what the going rate for land is or how the prices have changed since 9/11/01 or how they have changed since the Baniter colapse. I've had enough legal warnings, so please don't warn me about sleazy deals with out first givin me an idea of land prices.
Here are some example questions:
1) About 2 years ago, someone I know bought land in Puerto Plata for a garage, the land was in town and a little south of the old market. He paid 700 pesos /m2 for a 500 m2 lot. Have the prices in town gone up since then, or down. Does this price sound right?
2) What would be the best area of Santiago to buy in, and what would the prices in pesos / m2 be. I like Santiago because it is a large town with nice infrastructure.
3) There are a lot of new urbanization zones (you see them when you go up the cable car), and pleanty of lots in town. I heard of rates between 300/m2 to a claim of 650/m2 , it's all newly zoned land and while the Urbanization zone has provided electical posts and water to older parts of the zone, areas where the selling is going on still require the electrical posts and water. Any thing you have herd of as far as transactions complete and rates would help.
4) I like Sosua as a nice small town with lots of foriegn tourest to bring it some norther culture. Sosua has areas that seem to still have lots of land for sale near town. When entering Sosua from Puerto Plata there is "little sosua" a section with a dip in the road. What might the prices be around there.
