31 | Thursday, February 11, 2016 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com OVER 1400 CANADIANS OWN A PROPERTY IN ECUADOR WHY ECUADOR? Starting in 2010 with the sale of land lots on the Ecuadorian Pacific coast, HolaEcuador, a Canadian company is now into its sixth year offering diversified real estate opportunities and a wide array of services. Every year, the team helps hundreds of Canadians acquire property in South America. Comfortable year-round climate, a low cost of living (about three times lower than in Canada), an incredible diversity of natural scenery and an efficient and affordable healthcare system with benefits for retirees make Ecuador increasingly attractive to North Americans looking to enjoy a second home under the sun or to retire and relocate to this marvellous part of the world. Cost of living three times lower, perfect year-round weather ADVERTORIAL 80% SOLD "The development on which we're currently working is a beautiful 130acre property that sits directly in front of the Pacific Ocean", states Gordon Poole, HolaEcuador's vice-president of design and construction. "It is located 60 kilometers south of Manta. Of the 1,700 lots on the development, there are only about 300 left unsold", he adds. WELL-KEPT SECRET For now, Ecuador remains a relatively wellkept secret. Properties are much more affordable than in similar destinations. "Prices reflect what was available in Costa Rica 15 years ago, but in a country where first-rate and modern infrastructure is already in place," says Poole.
