There is a growing interest in real estate in the area north of Puerto Vallarta, known as the Riviera Nayarit. This peaceful area is the site of new residential and tourist development alike. San Pancho real estate is especially desirable right now, not only for its outstanding location, but also its exceptional value and its potential for return on investment.
San Pancho – officially known as San Francisco – is a beautiful little town that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. Located between Banderas and Jaltemba Bays, San Pancho is just north of Sayulita just west of highway 200. With a reputation as a small fishing town, the demand for San Pancho real estate is growing steadily. San Pancho is close enough to Puerto Vallarta to take advantage of the services, shops, and restaurants in the city, but far enough away to discourage most tourists from making the trip.
Ocean-view San Pancho real estate is readily available and affordable. Choice hillside residential building sites provide an exceptional view of the Pacific Ocean, the surrounding jungle and the incomparable Sierra Madres. As more high-end development takes place the area, San Pancho real estate provides a viable alternative to high-end luxury condominium development in Puerto Vallarta. This area will support the construction of custom-built luxury homes for permanent and part-time residents, as well as income generation from tourists to the Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit areas who are looking for something beyond the tourist resort experience.
Right now is an excellent time to invest in San Pancho real estate. With the recent announcement of the creation of a tourist corridor along the Pacific coastline between Nuevo Vallarta and San Blas, San Pancho is ideally situated to host residential luxury real estate that appeals to residents and visitor alike.

“If it seems too good to be true, it usually is.” The old adage doesn’t apply to buying land in Mexico. That’s why more than one and a half million Americans already own residential real estate in Mexico and millions more are likely to buy in the coming year. Buying land in Mexico is an excellent investment.
Buying land in the Riviera Nayarit is an even better investment. You can purchase ocean-view real estate for a fraction of what comparable real estate would cost in the US. You can build a beautiful luxury home on your parcel, again for pennies on the dollar. You can also live in the home part-time or full-time and take advantage of the low cost of living and the high quality of life. What more could you possibly ask for, especially in this economy?
There is more, though. Select Mexico Properties can help you arrange for legal assistance, construction financing, and design and construction services related to your new home. From start to finish, Select Mexico Properties can provide you with a full range of services that are designed to help you build the home of your dreams quickly and professionally.
Select Mexico Properties is not a multi-listing service, nor will you find the properties offered by Select Mexico Properties on a multi-list. We deal directly with you, the buyer, so you can be sure that all of the information we provide about our properties is accurate. Our goal is to make our transactions transparent, and make buying land in Mexico safe and easy.
Don’t let the economic conditions in the US spoil your retirement plans. Buying land in Mexico can help you ensure that you get the retirement lifestyle you’ve dreamed of for years. Don’t wait! Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

Right now, there aren’t too many places that offer the best of both, unless you’re looking at buying land in Mexico. Puerto Vallarta provides an excellent investment opportunity for savvy real estate investors who are prepared to act now.
Puerto Vallarta has become a prime choice for buying land in Mexico. Puerto Vallarta is located on Mexico’s Pacific coast and enjoys nearly perfect weather year-round. In the winter, the temperature averages in the mid-70’s. In the summer months, the temperature is in the high-80’s and low-90’s much of the time. If you’re pursuing an active retirement lifestyle, Puerto Vallarta is the place to be.
You can acquire luxury coastal property in the Riviera Nayarit, the hottest of the hot Puerto Vallarta real estate markets, for a sliver of what the same property would cost in the US. You’ll find everything you want in a retirement destination, and more importantly, everything you need, too! For the most part, the cost of living here is 50% to 75% less than it is in the US, even for those things like health and dental care, prescription drugs and household help, that can break even a robust retirement budget.
Select Mexico Properties has a limited number of luxury residential building sites for sale in San Pancho, just north of Puerto Vallarta. San Pancho is a quiet coastal community in the heart of the Riviera Nayarit. You’ll find that it provides an ideal retirement lifestyle. San Pancho delivers the best of everything Puerto Vallarta has to offer, and gives you a relaxing, luxurious environment to call home.

The high cost of health care is aggravating, especially for retirees. The average retiree can expect to spend anywhere between $200,000 and $635,000 in uninsured medical expenses after retirement. That’s pretty stiff. It also causes people to delay having their aches, pains and illnesses treated. Because the cost of treatment in the US is prohibitive, they suffer instead. As it turns out, the cost of health care in Mexico is substantially less than it is in the US, and often, people from around the world travel here for cutting-edge medical treatments. Access to these services is just one of the advantages of building in Mexico.
Puerto Vallarta is an excellent place to retire – aside from the benefits of the warm climate, life in Puerto Vallarta addresses all of the major expenses retirees face – medical care, housing costs, prescription drugs, inflation and energy costs. In short, the advantages of building in Mexico address all of the disadvantages of a US-based retirement lifestyle.
Another of the advantages of building in Mexico is that real estate and residential construction are both highly affordable right now. In certain areas – like Puerto Vallarta – the property values are expected to double in the next five years. Moving to Puerto Vallarta for retirement can allow you to live a luxurious retirement lifestyle for a fraction of the cost of living in the US.
More than 1.5 million Americans own residential real estate in Mexico, and understand the advantages of building Mexico. It just makes sense to build a home in Puerto Vallarta right now. You can easily afford a luxurious retirement lifestyle in Puerto Vallarta, while you may find it a challenge to pay these expenses if you continue to live in the US.

If buying land in Mexico is part of your real estate or retirement investment plan, there are some things you should consider. First, not all properties are created equal. The properties that have the best investment values are the ones that are easy to get to. Travel in Mexico isn’t always like it is in the US. If you’re buying land in Mexico, your best bet is to stick close to the tourist destinations, like Puerto Vallarta.
Puerto Vallarta is a great example of a city with excellent access. The Puerto Vallarta International Airport welcomes hundreds of flights each week, and has just opened a brand new international terminal. You can reach Puerto Vallarta from most major US cities, and domestic, low-cost carriers also serve Puerto Vallarta. This means that you can come and go as you please, and if the mood strikes you, you can fly to other destinations within Mexico at extraordinarily inexpensive rates. That’s a must if travel is part of your retirement plan.
Puerto Vallarta is also the beneficiary of some modernization to its marine terminals. Puerto Vallarta has been a favorite port of call for cruise ships from all over the world for years. Banderas Bay is beautiful, and cruise ships visit year-round. If you enjoy cruising, there are few better places to be than Puerto Vallarta!
Puerto Vallarta is one of the major destinations being served by the new interstate highway being built in Jalisco. The new highway project connects Jalisco’s main cities of Guadalajara, Puerto Vallarta, and Tequila with Zacatecas. This new highway will feature exits for all of Puerto Vallarta’s beaches, and will facilitate travel around Jalisco and into other parts of Mexico.
You won’t find this level of access in other parts of Mexico, and it should be a primary consideration when buying land in Mexico. If you’re ready to make an investment, and buying land in Mexico is on your short list, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today.

The news about retirement savings, investments, real estate, employment and more is not good these days. People are rethinking their plans to retire. Those who don’t have that option are wondering what kind of downgrade their retirement lifestyle will experience as the result of investment losses, rising health care costs and inflation.
If you’re in this boat, or think you might be heading there, consider the possibility of building in Mexico instead. The cost of living here is about 25% to 50% of what it is in the US. The cost of land and construction is low, and the appreciation rate is in the double digits.
The quality of life here is high and offers a luxurious retirement lifestyle. You can find ultra-modern medical facilities here that offer exceptional patient care at a fraction of what you’ll pay in the US. The same is true for high quality dental care and prescription medications. You’ll never pay another heating bill again. (Puerto Vallarta never gets cold.)
If “green” is your retirement lifestyle, ample sunshine means that you can incorporate solar technologies into your home to offset the cost of electricity and lower your home’s impact on the environment. Puerto Vallarta is also the ideal place to include rainwater reclamation technologies and green building materials that will help your home stay naturally comfortable.
Did I mention the Pacific Ocean? You’ll have spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean, as well as the Sierra Madres. You simply won’t find a better, more peaceful and relaxing place to retire than Puerto Vallarta. The only problem with Puerto Vallarta is that the word is getting out. Many retirees and soon to be retired workers from all over the world are looking to build retirement properties in Puerto Vallarta right now.
If you want to experience a luxury retirement lifestyle at a fraction of the cost, and get in on an outstanding retirement investment at the same time, please don’t wait. Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

Buying real estate in Mexico has never been safer than it is today. Mexican laws governing property ownership have been changed, largely to protect the buyer and to add a measure of safety for banks that finance property purchases.
There is a lot of really desirable real estate in Mexico, and the Mexican constitution limits how some of this land can be owned. To complicate things further, possessing title to land in Mexico is not the only way an ownership claim can be established. To establish clear ownership claims, investors who purchase land within 50 km of a coastline or 100 km of a national border must hold the title to their land in a fideicomiso.
Mexican law requires that a prospective owner establish a fideicomiso to hold the title to land. The bank acts as a trustee for the title, and has a responsibility to act in the sole interest of the trust beneficiary – you! Since the fideicomiso was established, not one single owner has lost claim to his or her land.
In addition to the fideicomiso, every piece of property sold by Select Mexico Properties comes with title insurance underwritten by First American Title. Having the fideicomiso and title insurance on your property means that you’ll never have to risk a dime when buying real estate in Mexico. Frankly, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We want you to feel secure about your ownership claims when buying real estate in Mexico from Select Mexico Properties. We only sell land that comes with a clear title, and we back our sales with title insurance from one of the most well respected title insurance companies in North America. In addition, we make all of the information we have about a property available to you before you purchase anything. When you sign a sales contract with Select Mexico Properties, you’ll know as much about the land you’re buying as we do.
If you’re ready to make what quite possibly could be the best investment of your life, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today and let us show you how buying real estate in Mexico can give you the financial security and peace of mind you’re looking for.

If the rising cost of health care, food, energy, transportation and the sting of inflation have you thinking that you’re going to have to work longer or adjust your retirement lifestyle downward, think again. There’s still a way you can enjoy all of the benefits of a luxury retirement without worrying about your ability to sustain a luxury retirement lifestyle.
More than 1.5 million Americans already own residential real estate in Mexico, and a significant number are considering buying here. Why? The cost of living is low and the quality of life is high, especially when you buy in a place like Puerto Vallarta.
First, there’s no denying the luxury value of Puerto Vallarta property. Coastal real estate is in high demand right now. The demand for these special parcels will go higher as the Nayarit tourism corridor comes into operation. To make the deal better for investors, the Mexican federal government limits the development that can take place along the Pacific coastline. There are a limited number of properties available for sale, so the value of these properties is going to go through the roof.
The cost of maintaining a luxury retirement lifestyle is a fraction of what it is in the US. You can have all of the amenities you dreamed of for pennies on the dollar. Even better, the necessities are similarly priced. By necessities, I’m talking about high quality health care, dental care, prescription drug costs, food costs, energy costs and more. You don’t have to spend a fortune to maintain your good health. You can enjoy all the best that life has to offer in a retirement lifestyle that reflects what you had planned to enjoy. All of those high cost items – land, health care, prescription drugs, food, energy and more are completely tamed in Mexico.
When you buy real estate in Mexico, you don’t have to give up your retirement lifestyle dreams. You can have it all! Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today to find out how.
