There’s a world-class city experiencing what I can only describe as a stealth boom.
Its economy grew 4.8% in the first quarter of this year—one of the fastest rates in Latin America.
Visitor numbers are up 17% in the first half of the year.
Passenger traffic through its international airport jumped 15% in the same period.
And yet…
Virtually no one is talking about this.
And right now, you can still buy a luxury condo in a leafy neighborhood here from as little as $235,000.
As I put it in the second episode of my new YouTube show, The Ronan McMahon Report Live…
“This is sneaky, stealth, powerhouse stuff.”
And I believe the extraordinary disconnect between what’s happening there and what you can still pay for quality real estate is creating a major opportunity.
That’s what RETA Editorial Director Ciaran Madden and I dig into in Episode 2 of our new weekly YouTube show.

For this episode of my new YouTube show, I’m joined by my Editorial Director and scout, Ciaran Madden, to dig into the opportunity in Panama.
If you’ve been following my YouTube channel, The Ronan McMahon Report, you’ll know that every Thursday I share a deep dive into one of the key destinations on my beat.
Those videos give you the big picture.
The “Paths of Progress” transforming each destination, the investment case, the rental market, and the basics of buying and owning there…
My new show, The Ronan McMahon Report Live—which drops each Monday—is more informal. It’s a fast-moving conversation between me and members of my team about everything we’re seeing on the ground.
Today we’re talking about Panama.
We’ll explore how this global hub for trade and business has developed into one of Latin America’s most dynamic cities—and why its booming economy, rising visitor numbers and growing international appeal have yet to be fully reflected in real estate prices.
And we won’t just talk in broad terms.
Ciaran and I examine listings at several price points—from an ultra-luxury three-bedroom condo on private man-made islands listing for $1.3 million…to a condo in the lush, master-planned community of Santa Maria for $375,000…and a comfortable, well-located city condo on the market for just $235,000.
We also look beyond the city to Playa Caracol— a stunning beachfront community rising on the nicest closest beach to the capital—where around $300,000 can still buy you a condo directly on the sand.
Watch now to learn:
- Why Panama’s latest economic and tourism numbers point to a “stealth boom”…
- How to play Panama City at three very different price points…
- And why I believe the next decade in Panama could be as promising as the last…
