Tropical Storm Ana threatened the beautiful sister islands, as well as the rest of the Caribbean Islands, so what are some smart Nevis Real Estate options?

Caldwell Banker provides some insight as to what to consider when thinking about purchasing real estate in Nevis as well as its sister island of St. Kitts.

The number One factor when checking into Nevis Real Estate, is to check to see if the land is low lying property. This will allow you to figure out if it will flood when storms arise.

Two: If looking into purchasing a seafront home, you want an elevated property, this is of course, above sea level. Be careful of homes built too close to the water on a sand beach. Obviously this is not sturdy land.

Most Nevis Villas, Nevis Homes, and Nevis Hotels, are built higher, on elevated lands, offering gorgeous panoramic views of the blue ocean and sparkling horizon.

However, as seen in the states, there are smart ways to build on the coast. These are built on concrete pilings, high above the water. Styles will differ depending on the region, so be sure to take a look into what makes a home safe to withstand a hurricane in Nevis.

It’s vital to remember that insurance on Nevis Seaside Homes, just as anywhere else, can be high.

Here are some more helpful tips:

- Do not plant trees within falling distance of your home, as they can damage your roof and entire house severely.
- If you do have tress, like most do on Nevis, be sure that all large branches are trimmed during hurricane season.
- It’s also important to trim coconuts, because they can turn into cannon balls during a bad storm.
- Your insurance may or may not cover roof damage; find out.

Although several storms, like Ana, typically threaten Nevis Island every July or August, the vast majority simply pass by and spare St. Kitts and Nevis. When stormy weather does become a threat, our homes become our refuge; therefor we simply need to be safe, as well as protect our precious investments!
