FIXED BANK LOAN RATES, FINALLY !!!

The invitation below was sent out by email to most business and realtors, I also noticed that another bank, I think it was Fidelity posted an ad in the Compass announcing Fixed Rate Mortgages for a short period. Is this an indication that loan portfolios are dropping because of the 7 year rollover policy or is it simply beause of the USA interest rates scaring of borrowers ? Either way you look at it, this clearly shows me that bankers are finally becoming more receptive to the needs of the home buyer. Any Bankers out there ? We need to hear from you.

Welcome

Hello investors, purchasers, vendors and friends,

Welcome to the first blog for the Cayman Islands which focuses on real estate and issues that influences the price or health of the real estate industry in Cayman.

For those of you that are not familiar with a BLOG, look at it as the cheapest place to vent and voice your opinion without paying someone to sit on a couch.

I encourage frank and open dialogue. Use this area to share your opinions and suggestions about immigration laws, e.g. 7 year rollover debate, interest rates and bank control on loans, tourism, over population, hurricanes and safety, expats and influence on real estate prices, Dart and other major developers and the cost or the benefit to the country and any other issue that is just driving you insane.

Don’t hold back, let it out. You can write anything without feeling like you'll be penalized or thrown off the island or lose your work permit and what ever other form of torture you would expect for speaking your mind.
