Investors looking for a real estate market brimming with opportunities may want to turn their attention to Brazil, one firm has suggested.

According to Obelisk International, the Brazilian property market is performing well and looks set to continue its expansion.

The firm cited comments from Gary Garrabrant, chief executive officer of Equity International, who told the Bloomberg Link Brazil Conference that there are "growth opportunities driven by fundamental demand in Brazilian real estate sectors".

Earlier this month, Obelisk International released data suggesting that investors are looking outside of the three major cities - Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and Minas Gerais - to other parts of the country.

The north-eastern regions are proving particularly popular, the firm noted, because the economy in the main urban hubs here has grown three times faster than it has in Sao Paulo.

In addition, an increasing number of Brazilians are entering the property market as the nation's prosperity filters down to its residents, the organisation added.
