A new survey by the Kaiser Family Foundation shows that rising fuel costs are the number one concern of American consumers. I’m happy to report that one of the benefits of a Mexico luxury home is steady fuel prices in Mexico. Mexico is a major exporter of oil, so fuel prices are naturally lower. They’re also controlled by a government monopoly, so you’ll find much more tolerable gas prices here in Puerto Vallarta, and all over Mexico.

Fuel is just one of the side benefits of owning a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta. Although there are many hundreds of condos and villas being built or offered for sale, there are only a few miles of the Puerto Vallarta coastline that are eligible for foreign ownership.

North of Puerto Vallarta, Select Mexico Properties is offering some of the most amazing residential building sites – with ocean views – for sale. These lots, which are located in San Pancho, provide the ideal place to build a custom Mexico luxury home for you and your family.

If you need assistance, we can connect you with fabulous, experienced architects and engineers who can help you build your dream home.

San Pancho is about 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta, and will allow you to take advantage of all of the conveniences that Puerto Vallarta has to offer.

There’s no good way to put this: retirement during a recession is dangerous. Most financial advisors will tell you to just keep working. One or two more years ought to do it, maybe. What if you can’t wait one or two years? Or just plain don’t want to? There is an answer that many planners overlook: an investment in a Mexico luxury home!

Luxury travels with extravagance, and the thing you can least afford during the lean times is extravagance, right? Don’t answer too fast. If you plan to stay in the US, then keep working and hopefully things will improve for you. If you’re ready to stop working, you can take your hard-earned retirement savings and put them to work while you relax and enjoy the sunshine by investing in a Mexico luxury home.

A Mexico luxury home is the ideal investment for retirees because the money you invest in your home here will continue to work hard! Property values have tripled in the last ten years and will double again in the next five. You won’t find double digit ROI in any US real estate right now!

Even better, those necessities that are most expensive for retirees, like health care and prescription medicine, are 50% to 75% less expensive here than in the US. Whereas the average retiree in the US can expect to spend $250,000 on uninsured medical expenses, the same retiree can expect to spend one-quarter to one-half of that over the course of his or her retirement. When you reduce the most significant expenses in retirement, that leaves extra money for things, like travel, hobbies and the activities you promised yourself you would do when you retired.

Studies show that nearly half of all people who retire during a recession don’t have enough funds to maintain their lifestyle, primarily due to the reduction in their retirement savings’ worth. By moving your retirement savings into a high-performance asset like a Mexico luxury home, you can extend your retirement savings and enjoy a healthy and relaxing retirement lifestyle. If you’re worried about retiring during a recession, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Let us show you how to make the most of your retirement savings.

Investment firm Lipper recently released data that shows that investors who bought exchange traded funds based on the Mexican economy enjoyed a ten-year return of 17%. In comparison, the best performing US-based ETF returned just over 9%. Many people have found that investing in Mexico is a smart move. Traditional vehicles, such as direct investment in real estate can return substantially more. Many ex-pats from the US have found that their investment in Mexico luxury homes has doubled or even tripled in the time they’ve owned the property.

These returns are phenomenal, and are reminiscent of better times in the US. If you’re feeling the pinch of non-performing investments, declining real estate values, and rising prices, you might want to look south of the border for a little relief. Right now, you can find great investment in Mexico luxury homes.

In certain areas of Mexico, the Federal government is encouraging foreign investment in real estate. Puerto Vallarta is one of those areas. The government is pouring billions of pesos into highways, bridges and tunnels, hospitals, water treatment plants, and municipal facilities, all of which will increase the value of the Mexico luxury homes in Puerto Vallarta.

The land values here are growing, and have tripled in the past ten years, but they’re still extremely affordable, even for folks of “ordinary” means. In five or ten years, that won’t be the case, and if you haven’t invested in a Mexico luxury home by that time, you’ll likely be closed out of the opportunity forever.

This is one opportunity that you don’t want to let slip. Now is the time to buy land and build a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta. Property values are expected to double in the next five years, and the population here is expected to increase by 75 percent. Most of the increase will come from foreign investors – many of whom are retirees – who want to take advantage of the low cost of living and the growth in property values.

If a good return on your investment is important to you, and you’re looking for a market with high growth potential over a short- to mid-term, you need to consider building a Mexico luxury home in Puerto Vallarta today. Select Mexico Properties’ prime residential building sites won’t last long in this investment climate. You need to act fast if you want to take advantage of this opportunity. Please, contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

Recent research by the Friends Provident insurance company in the UK shows that retirees who rent property may spend four times as much on housing as those who own their own properties. The cost of structure and ground rent, service charges, and utilities bills averages nearly £11,500, but property owners pay on average just over £3,000 to maintain their properties. The value of property ownership is clear. If you consider owning property in an area with a
historically low cost of living, your ownership dividend could increase even more. Enter the Mexico luxury home!.

Right now, Puerto Vallarta is in the midst of a buyer’s market, and building sites are priced to sell. Mortgages are available, funded by either pesos or dollars and can be used for the purchase of existing homes, land and construction. If you build a Mexico luxury home now, your investment value will quietly skyrocket in the next five years. Analysts are expecting property values to double, in part due to all of the infrastructure investments being made by the Federal government, and in part because the population of Puerto Vallarta is expected to nearly double by 2015.

This is a “perfect storm” for investors: low land costs, strong economy, good growth track record, excellent location, low cost of living, high quality of life, and high potential for short-term and long-term appreciation. What more could you ask for from a real estate investment?

People are flocking to Puerto Vallarta and many are building Mexico luxury homes here because they understand the potential for rock-solid growth in the short- and long-term. Puerto Vallarta is an excellent draw for retirees and working Americans who are looking for a place to enjoy life while sheltering their hard-earned dollars at the same time.

Aeroportuario del Pacifico, an airport operator here in Mexico, reports that total passenger counts for Mexican airports are up over 9 percent from 2007. International passenger traffic increased by more than 13 percent over last year. Aeroportuario del Pacifico made a special note of the growth being seen at Puerto Vallarta. That’s good news for owners of Mexico luxury homes.

This increase in the number of international passengers means that the Federal government’s plan to increase tourism is working. As more passengers visit Puerto Vallarta, the economy here grows. A strong economy will attract not only more tourists, but also more investors and will increase the property values for those who own Mexico luxury homes.

With all that Puerto Vallarta has to offer – great beaches, resort accommodations, world-class dining, premier golf courses, fishing, surfing, diving, and more – there’s no better place to build a Mexico luxury home than here. Right now, property here is bargain priced. In the coming years, as Puerto Vallarta grows, that won’t be true anymore. Those smart investors who built Mexico luxury homes when the cost of land, materials and labor were low will experience outstanding gains in value here.

All indicators point to the fact that Puerto Vallarta is the place to be. Property values here have tripled in the last ten and will double again in five years.

These days, the official word on retirement could be “Who Moved My Cheese?” You’ve been working and saving your entire life for retirement, and now, with the economy in shambles and the value of your savings dropping like a stone, you’re beginning to wonder whether you can even afford to retire. The good news is that you can! And you may be able to live in luxury just like you dreamed, only much more affordably. A Mexico luxury home might be just the miracle you’ve been praying for!

Many Americans are turning to Mexico when it comes time for making final retirement preparations, and a Mexico luxury home is at the top of their list of things to get. A Mexico luxury home can provide you with the retirement comforts you dreamed of at a fraction of the price they would cost in the US.

For just that reason, Mexico has become the number one retirement destination, surpassing Panama, a country renowned for its affordability, beauty and quality of life.

You’ll enjoy living in Mexico because the quality of life here is similar to that in the US. You’ll have access to clean water, excellent medical and dental care, good food, and all of the activities you look forward to in retirement, at anywhere between 30% and 80% less than what you’d spend on comparable goods and services in the US.

Additionally, there are tax advantages to living in Mexico that you simply won’t find in the US. You won’t be paying annual fees to register your car here, and the property and income taxes are just a sliver of what they are in the United States.

Mexico is within easy travel of the US and Puerto Vallarta is accessible from most major US cities via direct flights of 2 to 3 hours. Puerto Vallarta is at the same latitude as Hawaii, and the climate is very similar. Unlike Hawaii, however, the goods and services aren’t nearly as expensive. You’ll still get the beautiful ocean views and the incomparable Pacific sunsets, at a price that fits your retirement budget.

Please, don’t wait for your retirement savings to be demolished by the downturn in the economy. If you’re feeling like you need to do something to protect your savings immediately, contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Let us show you how to retire in affordable style.

Owners of Mexico luxury homes in Puerto Vallarta are in for a treat: the Vallarta Zoo. Unlike most zoos, you can get close to the animals!

Twice each year, the Vallarta Zoo allows the public to spend time with the zoo’s baby “big cats.” Unheard of in the US, but the Puerto Vallarta Zoo has enjoyed an extraordinary rate of success when it comes to feline breeding. Between two and three dozen new cats are born at the Zoo each year.

Three brothers opened the zoo in 2005 to fulfill a lifelong dream. The brothers now sell or trade big kitties to other zoo programs, but before they do, they allow the public to see and play with the big babies. Currently, the big cat collection includes lions, jaguars, cougars, leopards, Bengal tigers and white tigers. The Vallarta Zoo also hosts other animals.

What makes the cat program so successful here in Puerto Vallarta? According to one zookeeper, the cats – just like everyone else who visits here – love Puerto Vallarta! The weather, the food and the people are all just right here!
