Investment in Brazilian property builders has been recommended by experts, Bloomberg recently reported.
Analysts from Banco Santander wrote in a client note that the sector could provide a good speculation opportunity following a correction in stock prices, leading shares in the industry to rise on Monday (April 4th).
The experts said Brazilian property builders are likely to start seeing a greater supply of labour and materials.
"We believe that the Brazilian homebuilding industry offers a very interesting entry point," Flavio Queiroz and other analysts wrote in the note.
Bloomberg noted that the BM&FBovespa Real Estate Index added 0.7 per cent during trade on Monday led by Rossi Residencial, which gained two per cent.
Rossi Residencial recently reported that its net income increased by 60 per cent in 2010 compared with 2009, reaching R$350 million (£133 million), while sales velocity hit an all-time high of 28 per cent in the fourth quarter of last year.

Numbers of hotels for sale in Brazil to rise?
Hotel Interactive reported on the comments of senior vice-president of Lodging Econometrics Bruce Ford, who explained at the BITAC luxury event that the World Cup and the Olympic Games, which are soon to be hosted by the nation, will give the industry a boost.
"They have some tremendous events coming up in Brazil over the next several years … and they will need to build hotels and they will need to become more branded," he said.
In 2014, the World Cup will be played over 12 cities in the country, while the Olympics will be held in Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
Mr Ford said that developers' plans are "largely unannounced" at the moment but he predicted that 30,000 rooms could be under construction by the end of next year.
"The more branded that they become the more that banks are going to get interested, the more that international investors are going to get interested," he asserted.
Currently, there are around 11,000 rooms being built, the news provider noted, with another 15,000 more announced as part of new projects this year.
Hotel Interactive stated that changes in the Brazilian population may also be positive news for the sector.
Indeed, the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) recently revealed that usual real income among its people had reached R$1,540.30 (£588.57) in February compared with R$1,485.94 at the same point a year earlier, representing a 3.7 per cent annual increase.
This may reflect the increasing number of individuals in work in the country, as the figures also showed the unemployment rate dropped to 6.4 per cent last month, compared with 7.4 per cent 12 months previously.
In February, there were around 10.7 million people with jobs with formal contracts – a 6.9 per cent rise on statistics from a year earlier, or an extra 687,000 roles.
Other positive changes in Brazil reflected in statistics from the IBGE include a 1.2 per cent increase in retail sales in January compared with the month before, the ninth hike seen in as many months.
Meanwhile, nominal revenue in the sector grew by 1.1 per cent, rising for the 13th consecutive month....
