About Chile

Chile is one of the most stable and economically advanced countries in South America. Prior to 1990, the country was ruled by General Augusto Pinochet.  The General came to power by overthrowing Salvador Allende's democratically elected, socialist government in 1973. Chile has recovered well from its recent history of living under a dictatorship. It currently nurtures a thriving democracy and a successful free-market economic model. 
 
The country shares borders with Peru, Bolivia and Argentina. The Pacific Ocean marks its western border bestowing it with a 4000 mile long coastline. Beyond continental South America, Chile encompasses the Juan Fernández Islands, the Salas y Gómez islands, the Desventuradas Islands and Easter Island. It also claims 480,000 square miles of land in Antarctica.  

Chile Real Estate

It takes only one look at a map to be intrigued by Chile.  It is the longest and probably one of the skinniest countries in the world.  To say Chile is geographically diverse is an understatement. Tourists can enjoy a multitude of activities ranging from climbing active volcanoes and hiking in the world's driest desert to rowing through icy fjords in the vicinity of Antarctica.  Opportunities to bike, surf, ski, hike, and swim abound.  From Santiago to Easter Island, Chile's geographical, historical and cultural landscape fascinates visitors of all stripes.
 
The country's real estate market has shown stable growth over the last ten years but Chile isn't for property flippers.  A rate of 8 to 10 percent annual growth means only those who are in it for the long haul are interested and that is just fine by locals.
