There was a growth of over 8% in 2005, which can only help Real Estate prices and possible rental incomes. This is summed up by the current expension taking place within the islands.

In addition to the International Airport on Sal Island, there is now a new international airport built on Santiago Island. There is further expansion underway on Boavista and Sao Vicente island.
