Although, as I've mentioned in another thread, if the baby boomers are buying with capital raised against their existing property. If the price of property in the US (or UK for that matter) drops, many people may find themselves with negative equity and therefore sell the 'holiday home' or other boomers may not have the same level of borrowing available to them. That would have a knock on effect in the Dom Rep IMO.
