Nobody ever wants to “hit bottom” but the optimist in you might tell you that once you hit bottom, there’s no place to go but up. Well, not really. Experts looking at the real estate market say that there could be several periods in which the real estate market hits bottom over the next 1-3 years. Real estate is often a major component of retirement investments, so this is genuinely bad news for anyone who is saving for retirement.

Retirement investment managers have entered into 70% fewer real estate transactions this year. Buyers aren’t taking advantage of lower real estate costs. Instead, they’re waiting. As a component of a portfolio of retirement investments, the ROI prospects for cash are better than they are for real estate.

The refinancing market is also slow, and this could be where new problems lie. Organizations, funds and individuals that need to refinance debt according to a particular schedule may find that the refinancing they counted on at the end of their loans won’t be available. Without the availability of refinancing loans, many investors – corporate and individual – could find themselves facing the loss of their investments.

This isn’t good news, but the news isn’t all bad, either. Real estate, for as poorly as it is performing in the US, is performing extremely well in Mexico. Mexico real estate in some places – like Puerto Vallarta – have experienced 10% gains per year for the past decade. That’s performance you’re not going to find in the US market.

Individual investors have the opportunity to take advantage of the Mexico real estate market right now. Select Mexico Properties is offering Pacific Ocean-front property for sale right now. The company has a small number of premium residential building sites for sale. Smart investors are taking the opportunity to buy land and build luxury homes here.

Why take chances with the uncertainty of the US real estate market, and hope that it doesn’t hit bottom more than once? Why risk your retirement savings on market factors you don’t control, like the relative availability of credit? If you want to get off the roller-coaster and find some stable ground, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today and let us show you what Mexico real estate can do for your portfolio.

There hasn’t been a better time to build a Mexico luxury homes than right now. Land – premium Pacific Coast parcels – are priced to sell, and you won’t see this value in land in Puerto Vallarta again any time in the near future.

Select Mexico Properties has about one hundred residential building sites for sale in San Pancho, just minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. The lots are situated on a hillside that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. You can build the home of your dreams here, and with the cost of living in Puerto Vallarta, you can actually enjoy living here, too!

During the winter months, the weather here is ideal. The daytime temperatures are in the mid-70’s, and there’s not a cloud in sight. In the Spring and Summer, you’ll find rain and increased temperatures, but you won’t have to deal with temps in the 90’s and 100’s, as you would if you were in places like Florida and Arizona.

You’re wondering how you’re going to afford a Mexico luxury home? Keep in mind that the cost of living here is 50% to 75% less for most things than it is in the US. You’ll also find high-quality, affordable health care, prescription drugs, and dental care. The taxes are much lower than what you’ll pay in the US, and you’ll find that many US-based retailers have opened stores here in Puerto Vallarta. You’ll find the same goods here that you enjoy in the US, but they cost much less. You’ll also find pure drinking water and high quality food in the stores as well.

More than 50,000 Americans have decided to retire to Puerto Vallarta. Not all of them live in Mexico luxury homes, but all of them live a comfortable and enjoyable life here in Puerto Vallarta! It’s definitely the place to be. When you build a Mexico luxury home, you can take advantage of the low cost of living, but you’ll also benefit from the steady rise in property values. Many people who bought properties here ten years ago have seen their property values triple. Where in the US can you find a return on investment like that?

Don’t feel like you’ve missed out on the best opportunity to take advantage of rising property values, because the real opportunity is just beginning. In the next five years, property values are expected to double again. That alone is drawing many investors, from the US and from places like Europe and Asia, who also want to enjoy the benefits of low cost of living and rising investment values.

Now is the time to act! If you’re ready to examine the investment potential of a Mexico luxury home, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Our building sites are being sold right now and more investors are inquiring every day. Don’t wait!

Just because you’re thinking about retirement doesn’t mean you have to give up an active lifestyle. On the contrary, what would a Mexico luxury home be without some of the activities you put off doing while you were working? This year, the Canto del Sol Tennis Club hosted the first of what is expected to be an annual tennis event, The Century Tournament.

The Tourneo del Century is a non-professional doubles tournament in which each team must have a combined age of at least 100 years. Additionally, highly skilled “A” players can only play with a “B”, “C” or “D” level player. The Tourneo del Century is limited to 16 teams that play in a round-robin format. Each team will play a minimum of three matches. The top four teams advance to the semi-finals and the winners in those brackets advance to the finals.

Events like this one can be found all over Puerto Vallarta, which is one reason why owners of Mexico luxury homes enjoy living here so much. Although a winner is declared, players enjoy the games in an environment that is more fun than competitive.

If tennis doesn’t fit your image of life in a Mexico luxury home, then try golf on one of Puerto Vallarta’s seven golf courses. Deep sea sport fishing, wildlife watching, beach sports like volleyball and soccer, horseback riding, surfing, swimming, diving and yes, even polo are all here in Puerto Vallarta and waiting for you to enjoy.

Vibrant living is just one of the benefits of life in a Mexico luxury home. The quality of life here is excellent, especially for retirees who want to make the most of what Puerto Vallarta has to offer. The surrounding areas are filled with surprises: a zoo, a botanical garden, and ancient ruins, just minutes from San Pancho. Gorgeous ocean views, delightful tropical breezes and peaceful, quiet living will all be yours when you construct a Mexico luxury homes here.

Luxury doesn’t have to be expensive, either! Your retirement dollars will go much farther here than in the US, and you’ll have access to the same high-quality medical and dental care, food, water, shopping and personal services that you’re accustomed to in the US.

Please don’t wait another minute! Investors are inquiring daily about the availability of Select Mexico Properties’ premium building sites. If you’re ready to explore what living in luxury can be, contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

If you love sports, Puerto Vallarta is definitely the place to build your Mexico luxury home. You’ll find a wide variety of sports here, many of them somewhat unexpected!

Guadalajara, the largest city in Jalisco, has been chosen to host the 2012 Pan American Games. Puerto Vallarta will assist with the hosting duties for the beach sport events. This event will bring thousands of sports enthusiasts to Puerto Vallarta for the event.

This year, Puerto Vallarta will host the 2008 World Cup Beach Soccer qualifiers for North and Central America. With many avide fans of the sport, Puerto Vallarta will again see a boost in the number of visitors.

Puerto Vallarta also hosts an annual international basketball tournament. This year, more than 2,000 participants are expected. For the first time in 2008, the tournament is adding a 45+ bracket for senior players, and the tournament typically draws many celebrities, including former professional players from around the world.

Owners of Mexico luxury homes here will never want for sports events to watch or participate in. Women’s beach volleyball, soccer, aerobics, tennis, marathon running, competition sport fishing, sport walking, bowling, golf and my favorite: polo.

San Pancho itself is home to a regional training center for polo players, who can practice while in Mexico. It’s also a great place to learn about the sport. A couple with a genuine love of horses and the sport opened the center four years ago and have plans to pass on the sport to the area’s children and to members of the public who want to learn the game.

The polo fields, Rancho La Patrona, will be just one of the many sporting delights that await owners of Mexico luxury homes here. The climate is ideal for year round sport participation. No matter what your age or skill levels are, you’re sure to find a sport you can enjoy alongside your Mexico luxury home.

Puerto Vallarta is a great place to be right now. If you were here, you’d see construction everywhere. Hotels, condos, commercial buildings, resorts, golf courses, Mexico luxury homes – everywhere you look, buildings are going up.

You might be tempted to ask who’s buying all of the Mexico luxury homes being built here. You might also be surprised by the answer. When you look at these homes, you’ll be convinced that millionaires own them. In truth, people who have worked and saved their entire lives own them. People who understand the best way to stretch a buck own them. People who know how to enjoy retirement own them.

The price of luxury varies, depending upon where you are. In Puerto Vallarta, Mexico luxury homes are substantially less expensive than comparable homes elsewhere are.

With the building boom here, you might also wonder if too many Mexico luxury homes are being built. Not really. Puerto Vallarta currently has about 350,000 residents. By 2015 – just seven years from now – Puerto Vallarta will have about 600,000 residents, many of whom are drawn here by the weather, the lifestyle and the cost of living. The new residents will be former tourists who loved Vallarta so much they decided to call it home.

In seven years, you won’t see so much construction and there won’t be an overabundance of properties on the market, like there is right now. And the properties for sale will be substantially more expensive. Ordinary people – you know – the ones who have worked and saved their entire lives – won’t be moving into Mexico luxury homes in Puerto Vallarta in 2015. By that time, Mexico luxury homes will be well out of their price range.

That’s why you should consider buying a Mexico luxury home now. Your window of opportunity to buy is small, but the window of opportunity to gain from a purchase is almost limitless. Please, don’t wait until you’re ready to retire to start looking at retirement properties here. Buy now. It will be one of the best investments of your life. Please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today.

One of the most attractive benefits of a Mexico luxury home is the gorgeous sunsets you’ll see here in San Pancho. The sun shines virtually nonstop each day from November to May. If you see rain – like Camelot – it happens in the evening. The scenery is definitely a plus, but nothing compares to the beautiful sunsets you’ll see here. There’s just something about seeing the sun set over the ocean, and there’s no better place to watch than from your very own Mexico luxury homes.

Select Mexico Properties has some exquisite properties available for sale in San Pancho, one of the calmest, most relaxing places on earth. While Puerto Vallarta is a city – about the size of Spokane, WA – San Pancho is a community. You’ll find a mix of people here. Many San Pancho residents were born here. Others have migrated from places north, like the US and Canada. No matter where you’re from, though, you’re welcome in San Pancho. It’s the ideal location for your Mexico luxury home.

Life in San Pancho does not consist of the hectic, appointment-filled days you may be accustomed to. Instead, you’ll find relaxing mornings, followed by relaxing afternoons and relaxing evenings. Neighbors know neighbors and newcomers are always welcome.

It’s not unusual in San Pancho to see people traveling on horseback. There are even a few genuine charros here. They’re all part of the San Pancho scene. You have to see these beautiful building sites. They’re incredible – just the spot for a custom Mexico luxury home.
