The most Valuable addresses of Brazil

In the past two years, prices of residential and commercial buildings rose from 20% to 30%, on average, in the best neighborhoods of the main Brazilian cities, according to search System Cofeci-Creci, the regional councils and the federal Real Estate. "Runoff from bank finance, begun in 2005, is warming up the market in all capitals. Prices were low years and now rise rapidly," says John Teodoro, president of Cofeci. "But the recovery is different in each city because it depends on the stock of buildings and the availability of free areas in neighborhoods better evaluated." When there is the exhaustion of the land in areas already considered noble, investment usually run for areas with potential for verticalization in neighborhoods with location or in blends parts of the city still little explored.

Rio de Janeiro Expansion to the West
The neighborhood is more expensive in Brazil Ipanema, where the square metre costs, on average, 20000 real, according lifting the Cofeci-Creci. The prices are high because demand for an apartment in the district is very high and there are almost no more land for incorporation. The same applies to Leblon, where the square metre costs 18000 real. Hardly prices will drop in those districts, but few believe that there is still room for a high marked in the near future - the values are in a very high level. The prospect of greater increases in the prices of residential and commercial buildings is in Barra da Tijuca and the Recreio dos Bandeirantes, in the west. "The Barra da Tijuca land is very large, do 100000 square meters. Will not be in our lives that it will be all occupied," says Rubem Vasconcelos, president of Patrimóvel, the largest property of the River.

Sao Paulo High in regions east and west of the city
The scarcity of land and high demand for apartments ensure Higienópolis, in the central region of São Paulo, the lead in the ranking of the most expensive residential square metre between releases in the city: 7700 actual, second search of Embraesp, company specializing in the analysis of property market in Sao Paulo. To some extent, Higienópolis is in a situation similar to the Ipanema in Rio de Janeiro. Prices have already risen and very few believe that will point upward in the short term. For Cofeci-Creci the largest potential use of the housing is in the neighborhoods of Tatuapé, in the east, and the Morumbi, in the western region. "In the commercial segment, should increase rather square metre in the Marginal Pinheiros, toward the Ceagesp, in Park Thomas Edson, in Barra Funda," says Luiz Paulo Pompéia, president of Embraesp.

Curitiba New companies pressure prices
The housing more expensive in Curitiba are in neighborhoods, Batel, where the square metre costs, on average, 2200 real, and Ecoville, 2000 real. These areas, however, have had recovery of only 2% since last year. The neighborhood that most rewarded in the past 12 months and which has the greatest potential in the coming years is Green Water, which has great infrastructure services and a large number of squares. The square meter for apartments of four rooms there cost, on average, 1600 real, 23% more than a year ago. "The good topography and the large availability of land leverage its expansion," says Alfredo Canezim, president of Creci place. In the commercial segment, the demand is heated because new companies have settled in the city and there were few investments in offices in the last decade.

Belo Horizonte
Via express extends the view
The high standard of construction and large infrastructure services raise the neighborhoods of Belvedere, Lourdes and Staff at the top of the ranking of the most expensive square metre of Belo Horizonte. They are also those that have strengthened the most in the last 12 months, according lifting the Cofeci-Creci. Between August 2006 and July 2007, the value of the square meter rose from 3500 to 5000 real. Despite the recent high, there is still room for recovery. "Many people dream in this neighborhood live. Is the one with the largest number of new buildings and still has areas for incorporation," said Caio Mario Campos Ferreira, the city property and Field and one of the directors of Creci-MG. "In Lourdes and Staff, the pattern is for Class A, but the land available there are few." For investors, the works of the road Green Line opened a new horizon. With 35 km, the expressway linking the capital to the airport Tancredo Neves, in Confins, and facilitate access to the surrounding neighborhoods and municipalities in the northern metropolitan region. It is in this new scenario appearing in the neighborhoods of Pampulha Selling New among the greatest potential.

Salvador
Bet on the northern edge of the capital The area that is most rewarded in recent years in the capital Bahia is near the historic center. It is the region the sea known as Victory, which extends the Largo do Campo Grande to the Largo da Vitoria. It is the most expensive of the state of Bahia. A year ago, an apartment of four rooms were sold there by 4500 the actual square meter. Today, valley real 7000, a high of 55%. The recovery is explained by being a tourist area, the excellent infrastructure and the shortage of land. As prices in Victoria have had great high, investors have taken their games for the north edge of the city, which includes the neighborhoods of Pituba, Patamares and Horto Florestal. The regions with greater potential for recovery extends between Avenida Parallel and the coast. There are stand residential condominiums and high standard of buildings overlooking the sea. The square meter ranges from 2700 to 5000 real.

Manaus
Close to the Rio Negro
The view from the watercourse Black, one of the cards-postcards of Manaus, it is hard currency for the valuation of buildings of the city. It was the proximity of the river and the dense woodland that made the neighborhood of Ponta Negra the most noble of the capital of Amazonas. In the period of one year, August 2006 to July 2007, the square meter increased from 20% to 40% and now range from 2000 to 4000 real, according lifting the Cofeci-Creci. In the short and medium term, Ponta Negra should continue being one of the areas of greatest potential for recovery.

In light of that motion, Adrianópolis, the neighborhood noble more traditional Manaus, also has good prospects. Ali, the square meter costs from 3000 to 3500 real.
