Things continue to change in Cuba. New rules have been
implemented regularly. In the past couple of years, Cubans have been permitted
to create businesses, and in fact encouraged to do so because many were fired
from their government-paid jobs. New construction is prevalent. The number of places to eat, as well as availability and quality of food have improved. Cubans can now buy and sell real estate. And they can now travel. These changes are huge. But there are limits,
and as always, there are odd and contradictory restrictions to every new rule.
I learned quite a bit about the new real estate rules on my
recent visit, since I delivered cash to a family member so he could buy a home
for his parent, and I visited and talked to others who were buying and selling
homes, as well as some who had recently bought and sold.
The basic situation regarding real estate is that the
government gave property to people when the Castro government took over. Generally, one received the property
where one was living. Thus, if one was living in a separate home, one received
the home. If one lived in a unit in a building, one received that. If a Cuban left the country, the person
had to abandon his or her property, and the government would use it or give it
to somebody else. Sometimes the government would confiscate a home and divide
it into separate dwellings, and give it away. If one had ranchland or farmland, more than a certain number
of acres, the government confiscated it, even if the person did not leave. The government also confiscated
international businesses and their properties.
Now that one can buy and sell, they still line up along the
same walls on El Prado, and announce property for sale. Some still offer
Permuta. It may say “Se Permuta”
and describe what the person owns, and below it say “Necesito”, and say what
the person is looking to receive in return.
Here are a number of photos taken in January 2013 of people selling properties. You will see people holding signs and photos, postings on trees, etc.
