Developers in South Florida are seeing an increase in buyer demand and inquiries from Colombia following the election of Gustavo Petro, a former guerilla fighter and the country’s first leftist president.

Although Colombians have always been avid condo buyers, Miami-based real estate development company Related Group is seeing an uptick in contracts, according to its senior vice president Nick Perez. He said the buyers prefer condominiums that allow short-term rentals.
