Processesing on Land Holding Licenses: We are pleased to see that the Government’s changes to the Land Holding License application process has resulted in much improved efficiency. Previously the turn around time has been 4-6 months, however our agents involved in recent transitions with overseas buyers have noted some applications have been processed in 8 weeks.

We have also been busy with the Luxury condominium development, Rosemont City Place, closed a sale this month and will have placed another one of these executive condominiums under contract in the next week.

Market Intelligence Snapshot - Luxury Homes: The luxury standalone home market is still active and we are looking for luxury homes to satisfy demand from our qualified and pre approved buyers. Of particular interest to our buyers are waterfront homes, both beach front and homes with deepwater docks. If you are interested in selling and would like to know more contact us. The luxury market up to $4,000,000 has been well represented by Bermudian, PRC and Belonger buyers and the market is still very robust.
