Read more about real estate in Brazil in International Living Postcards—your daily escape
If you’ve been following International Living’s recent Postcards, you’ll know that I am bullish on the stretch of coastline along Brazil’s northeast coast. IL’s Editorial Director Len Galvin and I recently spent 10 days on a scouting trip on this stretch of coastline. This area (around Fortaleza) represents the best beachfront buy on the planet right now: beachfront lots for $30,000; second-tier ocean-view lots for $16,000; sea-view two-bedroom, two-bathroom condos from $83,000. You can even build your own luxury home with a pool on an ocean-view lot and still have change from $100,000.

Every time I take a trip near a coast, no matter what country I’m in, I try to see what type of beach house I can buy for $100,000. These days, it’s getting hard to find any type of house near the beach for that price.
But because the cost of land is low in northeast Brazil, and the cost of construction so affordable, you can buy a lot and build your own beach home here for less than $100,000.
