A recent Kiplinger’s survey showed that twenty percent of workers plans to buy a second home for retirement. For some, the ability to afford a vacation home or a retirement home is limited, but for savvy investors, nothing makes more sense than buying a second home in preparation for retirement.
Depending upon your age and relative level of wealth, a second home can be a wonderful investment. In the right location, a second home can also be a stellar investment. Retirees and those who are soon to retire are scouring the world right now in search of potential high-value real estate on which to build a second home.
One such opportunity is presenting itself right now in Puerto Vallarta. The Puerto Vallarta second home market is hot and shows no signs of the softness that realtors are seeing in America’s traditional retirement destinations. Retirees from all over the world are looking for high quality retirement opportunities that will enable them to enjoy good weather, excellent medical care, and a low cost of living. As it turns out, the cost of retirement is high, no matter where in the world you live!
A Puerto Vallarta second home will enable you to enjoy the benefits of a Puerto Vallarta retirement lifestyle while living in an investment that appreciates faster than the rate of inflation. It’s hard to believe but it’s true: property values in Puerto Vallarta have appreciated at a rate of about 10 percent per year for the past ten years. This tripling of value has definitely caught the attention of developers and small investors alike.
Right now, a massive building boom is taking place in Puerto Vallarta, as developers rush to bring luxury high-rise condominiums to market. These units can start at $250,000 or more. Some are even priced in the million-dollar range. If you aspire to a quieter lifestyle and would rather build equity than buy it, Select Mexico Properties has an opportunity you shouldn’t miss.
Right now, Select Mexico Properties is offering select hillside residential building sites in San Pancho, just north of Puerto Vallarta. These beautiful sites overlook the Pacific Ocean and offer the best opportunity for investors to own Pacific coast real estate in North America. These lots won’t last long. Some have already been purchased and investors worldwide are inquiring daily about their availability. If you’re serious about buying a second home for your retirement, please don’t wait. Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

Puerto Vallarta’s beautiful new airport terminal is in operation and is ready to handle an influx of as many as 800,000 new passengers per year. The great news is that many low-cost domestic carriers have applied for permits to begin international flight service. That’s great news for residents in the southwestern part of the US, because it will mean very competitive pricing for international flights to Puerto Vallarta and other destinations in Mexico. Getting to your Mexican vacation home may be getting even less expensive by the end of 2008.
Puerto Vallarta is very close – within a few hours’ flight – of most major US cities. In one respect this ability to get to your Mexican vacation home with such a short flight makes Puerto Vallarta a very attractive place to consider when building. International flights come in and out of Puerto Vallarta on a daily basis, which makes it easy to get here and easy to get home. The addition of low-cost domestic carriers into the equation means that you’ll be able to get to and from your Mexican vacation home quickly and inexpensively.
This news works not only for you when you want to enjoy the comforts of your Mexican vacation home, it also works for your potential guests, if you plan to rent out your Mexican vacation home when you’re not using it. Making Puerto Vallarta as accessible as possible is one of the strategies being employed by the Federal government here. Tourism is big already, and they want to make sure it gets bigger still! By making Puerto Vallarta highly accessible, the tourist economy will continue to flourish here.
As it is, Grupo Aeropuertuario del Pacifico, a major airport operator in Mexico, is expecting a 7% increase in traffic. Tourists are coming to Mexico, and places like Puerto Vallarta are among their favorite destinations. This is excellent news for smart investors who have already purchased a Mexican vacation home, and for those potential investors who are considering the same move.
A Mexican vacation home is not just an acquisition to be enjoyed a few times per year, but also an investment with strong growth potential. It can also be an income generator, if you rent the property out. If this is a potential you want to learn more about, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today. Our agents can show you how to take advantage of the buyer’s market here in Puerto Vallarta and set yourself on the road to investment security and perhaps even financial freedom!
