Tunisia Property Market an Example that Should be Followed by All

Posted On: 05/11/2009

If nuclear bombs were dropped on all the world's property markets, in planned explosions after the occupants were evacuated, then I think the opportunity should be taken to rebuild them using the Tunisian property market as a guide.

Foreigners were not allowed to buy property in Tunisia. That is, not until over 75% of Tunisians owned their own homes. This happened in late 2006 and the market was opened up to foreign buyers.

Thus the Tunisian property market has a very healthy base, with stable and sustained domestic demand, as resident Tunisian's trade up and downsize like it was an established market. This is a very strong market to look towards as a possible part of a foreigners exit strategy.

It is also a good indicator of the government's responsibility and dedication to having a stable and non-volatile housing and property market. This means that they are also likely to impose strict controls on building, to prevent over-development. This is necessary if a property market is to see sustained and sustainable stability and growth.

Since Tunisia's property market was opened up to foreign buyers, developers have been like kids on Christmas morning in the country. Seizing the opportunity to get in and fill the massive demand for such low priced property in such a stable market.

Tunisia quickly got the emerging market seal of approval in the form of major developments with celebrity designed and endorsed golf courses, and celebrity filled marinas. Even in those prestige-filled developments property is still a fraction of the price of property in Europe, or even in neighbouring Morocco.

For that reason, as well as the fact that a bumper harvest has led to the Tunisian economy growing by over 4% during a global recession, demand for Tunisian property, both domestic demand and from foreign buyers has remained high throughout the downturn. This also led to growth in the construction sector continuing, which also played its part in this year's economic growth.

This proves that the government's deep sense of responsibility has created a stable property market, within one of the most stable emerging markets in the world -- an example that governments around the world could and should all follow. Unfortunately it is too late for us in the UK, but emerging markets should follow the Tunisian example.
