Cuba's Real Estate Market - 21 Mar 2013 
Recent and archive images of various properties in Cuba. In November 2011, the government decreed that Cubans could buy and sell homes for the first time since the early days of the revolution, paving the way for a real estate market that has become an exercise in bare-knuckled capitalism.

"For Sale" signs are now a common sight on homes and apartments across the country, more than 100,000 properties are posted for sale on Internet sites and even state television has gotten in on the act, devoting part of a daily show to sales announcements sent in by viewers.

Havana was once considered an architectural jewel with an eclectic mix of colonial homes and modern Art Deco construction, but much of the city outside the touristy Old Havana district is in a dilapidated state after decades of neglect and corrosion from humidity and salty sea air.

Cuba's government has given Cubans the right to buy and sell their homes for the first time since the early days of the 1959 revolution in a long-awaited reform that creates a real estate market and promises to put money in people's pockets. The housing change follows the recent reform of allowing people to more freely buy and sell cars, another change overturning one of the early tenets of the revolution.

According to a National Housing Institute report issued this week, Cuba acknowledged that the island of 11 million people faces a severe housing shortage and that Cuba would need to build 50,000 houses a year over the next decade to solve the massive deficit. "The eradication of precarious living conditions has been a permanent and still unfulfilled goal of the Cuban Revolution," said the report presented at a U.N.-sponsored conference on urban development.
