the real estate market integration and the second home - the metropolitan Brazil

The integration of the land market in metropolitan regions is one of the aspects responsible for the expansion of second home settlements in Brazil. This expansion of domiciles known as DOU (Domiciles of Occasional Use), from the relative point of view, is concentrated in the peripheral municipalities, once the metropolitan cores are considered controlling centers of land and real estate of this type of habitation. The analysis reveals the trend of monopoly exerted from the metropolitan cores, which results in problems of economic and social order for the municipalities with major concentrations of domiciles of occasional use.
