Miami (EE.UU.), 2 sep (EFE).- Después de una estrepitosa caída, el mercado inmobiliario de Miami está levantándose con las compras en efectivo de inversores internacionales que aprovechan las ventajas que les ofrece un dólar debilitado frente a sus fortalecidas monedas.
Latinoamericanos y europeos apalancan un sector que analistas habían pronosticado se demoraría entre 10 y 15 años para vender el gran inventario de propiedades que tenía acumulado cuando estalló la burbuja inmobiliaria en 2008, dijeron a Efe promotores y agentes de bienes raíces.
“El mercado internacional es el principal factor que está causando esta reactivación. Los países Latinoamericanos, en especial Brasil, Argentina, Venezuela y México, son los más activos, y en Europa se destacan Italia y España”, aseveró Edgardo Defortuna, presidente de Fortune International Realty.
Las monedas de esos países, explicó, se han revalorizado en relación con el dólar, lo que “hace muy atractivo el producto de Miami”.
Alicia Cervera, socia ejecutiva de Cervera Real Estate, dijo que ha sido “una sorpresa agradable lo rápido que se ha vendido el inventario que existía, porque cuando comenzó la crisis (inmobiliaria) hace tres años” Miami contaba con “mucho producto nuevo”.
La mayoría de los extranjeros “están comprando en efectivo y hay entidades bancarias que en este momento financian un 50 % de la compra a clientes internacionales”, agregó.
Greg Freedman, socio de BH III LLC (“BH3″), coincidió con Defortuna al comentar que los compradores latinoamericanos están tomando ventaja del fortalecimiento de sus monedas frente al dólar y “de los precios de descuentos que existen actualmente en Estados Unidos”.
Destacó que el 47 % de los compradores de una de las propiedades de su portafolio, Trump Hollywood, ubicada en Hollywood, al norte de Miami, son de países latinoamericanos como Colombia, Venezuela, Brasil, México, Ecuador, Argentina y Uruguay.
Brasil resalta en el mercado inmobiliario de Florida como el “número uno” en adquisiciones de propiedades; Venezuela, Colombia y México también están entre los principales compradores, según Cervera.
“Hay muchísimos mexicanos, lo que es relativamente nuevo para Miami porque tradicionalmente se iban más hacia el oeste de Estados Unidos. Cada año se ven más y realmente ya es un movimiento muy fuerte de mexicanos comprando segundas y terceras residencias acá”, dijo a Efe.
Los mexicanos son atraídos a la ciudad por “ser muy latina, se sienten como en su casa”.
Miami cautiva a los extranjeros, en gran parte, por la localización “tan espectacular que nos pone en medio de Estados Unidos, Europa y Suramérica, por ser una ciudad bilingüe y cada día más trilingüe, porque en este momento se está sintiendo la influencia brasilera”.
Los inversores europeos, sobre todo los españoles, también están apostando al mercado de bienes raíces de Florida.
Nelson Ríos, agente inmobiliario de Cervera Real Estate, explicó que los inversores españoles consideran que debido a la crisis económica de su país y la situación del euro frente al dólar “es más favorable para ellos comprar en Miami”.
Los españoles son inversores que se sienten cómodos en esta ciudad por la gran presencia de banca de su país, un factor que “les genera mucha confianza para traer dinero en efectivo”, dijo Ríos.
La gran mayoría de ellos desea que sus propiedades estén cerca de la playa y por lo general compran apartamentos, al igual que los latinoamericanos.
Edgardo Defortuna dijo a Efe que el mercado de Miami tiene una perspectiva “muy alentadora” porque se “alimenta significativamente del comprador extranjero”.
“Creo que en el corto plazo vamos a volver a ver nuevos proyectos en construcción, como los terrenos frente al mar y el área del distrito financiero de Miami (Brickell)”, dijo con optimismo.

AMGWAgency is Turning 10 Years Old – Leading Miami Agency Celebrates its Tenth Year in Business
MIAMI – February 03, 2011 – On April 12th, 2011 AMGWagency will celebrate ten years of business as one of Miami’s leading advertising and public relations agencies specialized in fashion, hospitality, real estate, banking and consumer goods. Over the past decade, President and CEO Edward de Valle II, has built a global network from the ground up which includes media buying, creative services, public relations and more. In preparation for the next decade, the agency will be launching a new logo to commemorate the tenth year in business.
The company was founded on April 12th, 2001 as a media buying company based out of a 500 square foot apartment where de Valle serviced clients including Seneca College, Dior Parfums Latin America, and Hugo Boss from a $55 desk he purchased at Staples on Coral Way. With a tremendous work ethic, de Valle was able to open his first office in 2002 in Miami. There he continued growing his clientele base while establishing the company’s global presence through alliance partnerships which over the years grew to employ 162 individuals including all international and domestic partnerships.
In 2009 de Valle decided to phase out most of his partnerships in order to focus more fully on the clients he felt complemented his vision for the future of AMGWagency. “Today AMGWagency has what I feel to be the most solid team in the industry” boasts de Valle. The company holds a roster of clients including some of the world’s most recognized and established brands like the Trump Organization and serves countless organizations in a variety of industries including finance, banking, hospitality, real estate, high end consumer brands, and medical clients . Looking ahead to 2011, de Valle seeks to further establish the media planning and buying division, AMGW: mediaworks as well as the company’s global alliance partner, Trusted Translations.
Subscribing to the belief that a business must keep its brand fresh, the company will unveiled its new logo, provided by AMGWagency’s in-house creative department, AMGW: creativeworks. “Over the years we have changed our look and feel a few times,” explained President and CEO, de Valle, “and now we are doing it again in honor of the new era we wish to enter.”
Miami has been the perfect location for the agency to grow, allowing them to service both the U.S. and Latin American markets seamlessly. As the industry continues to evolve, AMGWagency makes a commitment to enhanced skills, knowledge and competence in order to provide its clients with stellar performances for their next ten years.
