Select Mexico Properties

Plenty of opportunities exist for investors in Mexico real estate these days. You’ll find the best returns in places that provide modern infrastructure and can be accessed easily. Puerto Vallarta is one of those places and makes an excellent spot to invest in Mexico real estate.

Puerto Vallarta is so attractive because it’s accessible easily by air. You can fly to Puerto Vallarta within a few hours of most major cities in the US. Puerto Vallarta is also a standard port-of-call for anyone making Pacific Coast cruises, and the marine terminals here have just been upgraded to encourage more and bigger cruise ship visits.

Mexico real estate here is undervalued in comparison to properties along the Pacific Coast in the US. Puerto Vallarta is at the same latitude as Hawaii and shares many of the same delightful climate features. The winters here are marvelous and the summers here are far more tolerable than those in Phoenix, Santa Fe, Tampa and Orlando. Puerto Vallarta has about 300 days of sunshine on average each year, yet it’s filled with lush jungle vegetation.

The people in Puerto Vallarta are exceptionally friendly. That’s one of the characteristics that makes Puerto Vallarta such a great vacation destination. People want to come to Puerto Vallarta over and over.

The cost of Mexico real estate here is affordable, and owning Mexico real estate is safe. Foreign ownership rights have been clarified and it’s relatively easy to establish an ownership claim. In addition, title insurance is available for your Mexico real estate purchases, which protects you in the event of an ownership dispute.

If you’re looking for a firestarter for a sagging investment portfolio, consider building a luxury home in Puerto Vallarta. Investment properties are appreciating handsomely here and have been for the past ten years.

If you visit Puerto Vallarta, you’ll see immediately that there’s no hint of the economic downturn you may see in other luxury markets in the US. Building is going on here year round on more than 30 hotel and luxury condominium projects.

Builders are hoping to take advantage of the luxury real estate market in the coming years, as the majority of Baby Boomers move into the retirement age. The best way for individuals to take advantage of the market here, however, isn’t to buy a condominium in a high-rise project.

The amount of buildable land in Puerto Vallarta is shrinking as properties get filled with resorts and condominiums. While this is good for the developer, the individual investor doesn’t get the benefit of appreciation. The real money to be made in luxury real estate will be reserved for those who build a luxury home in Puerto Vallarta.

Ocean-front property is limited in Puerto Vallarta, but there are some gorgeous residential lots for sale in San Pancho, up the coast from Puerto Vallarta. These lots will host some of the most beautiful homes in the area, and owners can be sure that they’ll receive the benefit of some stellar appreciation.

If you’re ready to examine the investment potential for a luxury home in Puerto Vallarta, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Let us show you how to make the smart move when it comes to building a luxury home in Puerto Vallarta.

Puerto Vallarta has been named one of the five hottest Mexico real estate markets. If you read this blog regularly, you already know that, though! Puerto Vallarta was chosen for its proximity to the United States, the development of regional infrastructure, the tourism, and its overall appeal to potential retirees and expatriates.

For Puerto Vallarta, being named one of the hottest Mexico real estate markets is saying a lot about how good an investment Mexico real estate is, considering the other four top winners: Loreto, Baja California Sur; Merida, Yucatan; Guadalajara, Jalisco and Oaxaca, Oaxaca,

Perhaps I’m biased, but of the five hottest Mexico real estate markets, I think Puerto Vallarta is the prettiest, and the best value when it comes to investment. With all of the condominium and hotel projects underway here, many people agree that the place to live is not in Puerto Vallarta proper, but in the areas surrounding the city.

The real value, and the potential for return, lies in places like the Riviera Nayarit. This area must be one of the most peaceful, beautiful places on earth. It’s the ideal place for a second home. Once you’ve been here for a season or two, you may find yourself wanting to live here year-round!

Right now, Puerto Vallarta welcomes about 2 million tourists per year, and still manages to retain that “small town charm” and friendliness that Puerto Vallarta is famous for. The lifestyle here is relaxed, and you won’t find anyone here in a rush to do anything! Puerto Vallarta is exceptional for its affordable cost of living, high quality health and dental care, access to transportation, goods and services.

Property values here have increased by about 10 percent per year for the last ten years. How’s that for performance? Some analysts believe that Puerto Vallarta will be overbuilt once all of these condominium and resort projects are complete. If that’s true, it’s even more essential that potential investors look outside the city for the best ROI opportunities.

Select Mexico Properties has about 100 parcels of premium ocean-view real estate remaining in San Pancho, which is about 30 minutes north of Puerto Vallarta. These prime building sites are meant for luxury, single-family homes, and are located in what has to be the most gorgeous place on earth. This real estate is in high demand and more than a dozen parcels have already been sold. If you’re serious about taking advantage of one of the hottest Mexico real estate markets, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today.

Puerto Vallarta is an amazing city, a modern affair that more than 350,000 people call home. Rural areas that feature cobblestone and dirt roads surround it. The roads are passable by private cars, but many people here choose not to own them. Nonetheless, you’ll find many options for transportation in Puerto Vallarta.

Many US ex-pats find that giving up a car is difficult, so they choose to keep their vehicles. When you enter the country and you bring your car, you register it. The vehicle’s documentation is on your visa paperwork. US citizens here are advised to keep a copy of their visas in the vehicle, much like you keep a registration or title. There’s no additional vehicle registration. You can also find mechanics who will maintain your vehicle at a very affordable price. If you don’t want to keep a vehicle, you can rent one for a day to do shopping, run errands or visit a nearby town.

Other options for transportation in Puerto Vallarta include buses (which do cover the metropolitan Puerto Vallarta area), shuttles, and taxis. You can also find water taxis to take you to the small islands off of Puerto Vallarta’s coast. You can also take chartered fishing excursions.

For air transportation in Puerto Vallarta, international carriers fly out of Puerto Vallarta’s International Airport. In addition, low-cost domestic carriers can fly you to other destinations in Mexico. Many of these same domestic carriers have applied for permission to fly across the US border to southern and southwestern cities in the US. This is great news because it means that you can have low-cost access to the US whenever you want to return!

You may be asking yourself how the locals get around. In the areas surrounding Puerto Vallarta, many residents travel by horseback! Although Puerto Vallarta is a modern city, the areas surrounding it are still very rural. This entire area was a fishing and farming community before it became a prime tourist destination, and many locals still keep horses as their primary mode of travel.

If you’re ready to experience the charm of Puerto Vallarta, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. We can show you how to make the most of the variety of options for transportation in Puerto Vallarta.

2008 marks the beginning of an anticipated wave of retirements by those people known as “baby boomers.” Retirement is a complex decision, based on many factors; health, lifestyle, retirement savings, work history and experience, and the age of children in a family are just a few things that must be accounted for when planning for retirement. With so many workers planning to retire in the coming years, people are now beginning to evaluate their retirement strategies and how they can best meet their retirement goals. A growing trend among the soon-to-retire is retiring in Mexico.

Mexico has surpassed Panama as the world’s favorite retirement destination for a reason! First, retiring in Mexico is attractive to US citizens because Mexico is so close to the US. Prime retirement destinations, like Puerto Vallarta, are within a few hours’ of air travel of many major US cities. You can find daily flights from Puerto Vallarta to just about any major city in the US, Europe and Asia.

Retiring in Mexico is also attractive because the cost of living here is much lower than it is in the US or Canada. European retirees are at a major advantage because the Euro is so much stronger than the peso. Everything seems like a bargain here!

Factor in the side benefits, like high quality medical and dental care, low-cost prescription drugs, affordable personal assistance with tasks like laundry, meals, and landscaping, low gasoline costs, and low taxes, that make retiring in Mexico so attractive and you’ll see why so many people are moving here.

Currently, about 50,000 Americans have chosen to retire here in Puerto Vallarta, and many Europeans and Asians are purchasing land here because they plan on retiring in Mexico, too! If you spend six months per year here for five consecutive years, you’ll also be extended “resident” tax status, which significantly lowers your taxes, although we’re sure you’ll find non-resident Mexican taxes to be a fraction of what you’re paying now!

Retiring in Mexico is easier than it has ever been, and you can buy property with a significant investment potential for a fraction of the cost of comparable real estate in the US or Europe. As you plan for your retirement, you’ll find that adding Mexican real estate to your portfolio will be both a wise and profitable move.

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.

Need expensive dental work? Many people in the southern US are beginning to discover what many US retirees already know. Affordable dental and health care are available in Mexico for a fraction of the cost of the same work in the US. That’s just one more side benefit of a Puerto Vallarta second home.

High quality dental care is a requirement for high quality of life. For retirees, maintaining excellent dental care is paramount, but good dental work in the US can cost a significant amount of money. You can find excellent dental care in Mexico for a fraction of the cost of the same work in the US – as much as 60 percent less. You won’t sacrifice on quality, either. You can find quality care in clean, modern dental offices. In fact, many dentists in Mexico were trained in the US.

The cost and availability of quality dental and medical care are just two of the many reasons more Americans are choosing to buy a Puerto Vallarta second home. While some US consumers travel to Mexican border towns for medical and dental assistance, Puerto Vallarta is situated well away from the border. The dental and medical professionals here cater to their growing cohort of US consumers, providing up-to-date dental and medical services, in clean, modern offices. But Puerto Vallarta is still located in Mexico and still enjoys the benefit of the Mexican economy.

So many American retirees are choosing to build a Puerto Vallarta second home for just these reasons. There are many other benefits of owning a Puerto Vallarta second home. The climate, the property values and expected appreciation, the amenities offered by Puerto Vallarta, and the quality of life here are all unmatched by any of the retirement options available in the US.
