The number of investors who are inquiring about Puerto Vallarta real estate these days is staggering. So many North Americans and Europeans are looking for a place to retire, and Puerto Vallarta is a natural choice. If you’re considering the purchase of Puerto Vallarta real estate, take a moment to read this.

Puerto Vallarta real estate has been appreciating in value in double-digit terms for the past decade. Part of this growth represents pent-up demand that’s been present in Mexico for many years. Another part of this growth is from Baby Boomers who are or have been planning for their retirement. This growth is expected to continue, as nearly 80 million Americans retire over the next fifteen to twenty years.

Puerto Vallarta real estate is a natural investment choice. From this perspective, however, it’s better to build here now than it is to buy in a few years, when you’re ready to retire. Right now, you can take advantage of relatively low land prices and affordable construction costs. In a few years, this situation is unlikely to exist.

Land values, which are expected to double in the next five years, will never be as low as they are right now. Much of the area will be built up in a few years’ time, and you’ll be looking at purchasing already-improved land. Your ability to take advantage of the gains you’ll see by making your own improvements will be gone.

If you’re serious about purchasing Puerto Vallarta real estate, you have a wonderful opportunity to come to Puerto Vallarta and take part in our three-day event happening October 16-18, 2008. At this event, you can tour the remaining building sites, meet the developer and the professionals who can help you design, engineer and build your new luxury home. We’ll also have our legal staff on hand to answer questions.

Don’t miss this opportunity to tour the Nayarit Riviera and talk to the professionals who can bring your luxury Puerto Vallarta real estate dreams to life. For more information about how you can take part in this special event, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

So many people today are worried about their retirements. That’s ironic, since retirement is supposed to be a carefree time to enjoy yourself once you’ve left the world of work behind. How does shooting 9 holes of golf every day sound? The Puerto Vallarta area has some of the best courses around, including a great Par-3 course that’s ideal for beginners and challenging for experienced golfers called Campo de Sueños. Located in El Monteón, this beautiful privately owned course is just one of the luxuries you can enjoy when you invest in Puerto Vallarta real estate.

The Puerto Vallarta area has several different public and private golf courses, so you’ll never be without something to do, if you’re into golf. Signature courses are being designed and built in the Puerto Vallarta area right now, and will complement the existing 9- and 18-hole courses here.

Don’t play golf? Want to learn? There are plenty of opportunities to learn the sport in Puerto Vallarta, and admission to the courses is inexpensive enough that you can visit every day. The weather is nearly perfect for golf year-round. Truly, Puerto Vallarta is a golfer’s paradise!

There are many reasons to consider investing in Puerto Vallarta real estate, and the recreation opportunities are just one of them.

The economy’s sad state has left many retirees and those planning for retirement wondering if they’ll have enough money to leave the working world on time and with the retirement lifestyle they’d planned to. Many people expect to rely on Social Security but find that their Social Security income, along with their personal savings are being consumed by unexpected costs like inflation and medical insurance premiums. Dreams of retiring to Florida, Arizona or California are being discarded in an effort to stretch retirement resources.

There is good news in all of this. You don’t have to give up your retirement lifestyle. While retiring to Florida, or the desert Southwest may indeed be too expensive, buying real estate in Mexico, in a place like Puerto Vallarta, can help you realize your retirement dreams without sacrificing your quality of life.

The number of retirees and those planning for retirement in the coming years is staggering – nearly 80 million people. About 10 percent of those workers plan to live outside the United States in an effort to beat the high cost of retirement. That can be an excellent way to stretch your retirement savings.

Puerto Vallarta offers the complete package: near-perfect weather for a large portion of the year, moderate average temperatures, a low cost of living and a very high quality of life. Buying real estate in Mexico is surprisingly affordable and offers a wonderful opportunity to preserve your retirement lifestyle without going broke!

Real estate markets fluctuate all the time, but right now couldn’t be a worse time for a downward fluctuation for people who are planning for retirement. US real estate markets that have been popular with retirees – Florida, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas – have been hit with a large number of foreclosures. Although a flood of empty homes on the market might be interpreted as a positive sign for investors looking for bargain basement deals, it’s not. No one is sure that the US real estate market has hit bottom, and if it hasn’t how low it might go before it turns around. Puerto Vallarta real estate, on the other hand, is being sold in a positive market, which makes it exceptionally attractive to investors.

The Puerto Vallarta real estate market is climbing in value and has been for 10 years. Solid double-digit growth in property values, plus the availability of Pacific coast properties, makes buying Puerto Vallarta real estate an attractive proposition indeed.

Right now is an excellent time to consider buying Puerto Vallarta real estate, whether for your own enjoyment or for speculative purposes. Nearly 80 million Americans are poised to retire in the coming years and ten percent of these workers say that they will be looking outside the United States for their retirement home.

Luxury developers are in Puerto Vallarta building frantically right now to stay ahead of the demand. Individual investors can also take advantage of the Puerto Vallarta real estate market and the demand for luxury properties.

If you’ve been reading this blog, you know that I’ve been talking about the tremendous opportunity to invest in Puerto Vallarta real estate right now. Investing in Puerto Vallarta real estate right now works on so many levels and meets so many investment goals. Last month, we offered a three-day seminar that featured our residential building sites in San Pancho, and the response has been overwhelming.

There are many investors and would-be investors out there who are examining Puerto Vallarta real estate and its potential. One of the perennial questions we field is whether or not investing in Vallarta real estate is safe.

In a word, yes! Ten or fifteen years ago, our answer may have been different. Right now, however, so many positive things have happened on the Mexican real estate scene that you’d be crazy to pass up this “ground-floor” opportunity. First and foremost, Mexican laws regarding property ownership have changed and now offer more protection to the buyer than at any other time in this country’s history. There is a safe, functional and respected mechanism for purchasing land and holding title here.

Second, long-term financing is now available. Historically, property transactions were conducted on cash terms, which made it difficult – if not downright impossible – to buy land securely. Part of the reason banks are now willing to lend for property purchases in Mexico is that the laws now recognize and enforce the rights and interests of buyers as well as those of the seller.

Third, elements that are common in property transactions in the US are beginning to make their appearance in Puerto Vallarta real estate transactions. These elements, like escrow accounts and title insurance make the transaction much more like a real estate transaction in the US. For the first time, buyers can feel safe about buying property in Mexico.

The timing for all of this could not possibly be better. Retirees and those who are actively planning for retirement are scouring Puerto Vallarta for the best possible deals on luxury real estate. All of these factors are combining, and interested investors are snapping up the parcels being offered right now by Select Mexico Properties. The remaining parcels in San Pancho won’t last much longer. If you would like more information on the safety of buying Puerto Vallarta real estate, or how you too can take advantage of one of the world’s hottest real estate markets, please don’t wait! Contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

You’re interested in the idea of building Puerto Vallarta real estate, but you’re worried about how long the process takes. Understandable, especially if you’re not already living in Puerto Vallarta. The truth is that the building process is completely unique for each structure, and the length of time it takes to go from land to home will vary. The good news is that most of the variation depends upon the decisions you make about building your Puerto Vallarta real estate.

Believe it or not, the decision to buy land is the most difficult one to make. There are plenty of good reasons to consider an investment in Puerto Vallarta real estate, especially now. Land values are low, the return potential is high, the return timeline is relatively short. You can locate capital to buy and build here, and buying Puerto Vallarta real estate is safe.

Once you make the decision to buy, land sales can be closed in about six weeks. The process of buying Puerto Vallarta real estate is a bit different than it is in the US. You’ll need to work with a bank here to establish a fideicomiso (a bank trust that holds your deed) and the process of having the sale validated and recorded by the notario publico.

Once the sale is closed, the next steps are up to you. At Select Mexico Properties, we offer complete design, engineering and construction services for clients who purchase Puerto Vallarta real estate from us. The design process can take as little as 4-6 weeks, depending upon your requirements and the modifications we need to make to the plans.

After the design is complete, the construction process – which includes all necessary permits, inspections and approvals – takes about four to six months, depending on your design, materials and interior finishing requirements. Your Puerto Vallarta real estate can be complete in six to nine months, including the purchase of land.

You’re not required to use our design services, but you’ll find that the cost of using Select Mexico Properties’ professional package is substantially less than the cost of locating your own contractors to do the work. We’re very familiar with the area and the construction professionals here. Since we do so much work, we can often get a better price on the services and materials you need to construct your Puerto Vallarta real estate. If you’d like more information about Puerto Vallarta real estate and Select Mexico Properties’ professional service package, we’re here to help. Please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today!

If your retirement plans include the purchase of Puerto Vallarta real estate and you plan to build a luxury home here, consider your design carefully. Your home design should be well suited to the Puerto Vallarta climate to improve your home’s enjoyment potential as well as its investment value.

Puerto Vallarta receives about 300 days of sunshine per year, so it is the perfect location if you plan to incorporate solar technologies into your home. Solar technology is coming down in price and can recoup its initial investment through reduced electricity costs. Other environmentally friendly technologies, like water reclamation, can help reduce your home’s operating costs and contribute to its appearance and impact on the surrounding areas. Simple design considerations, like the angles at which windows are placed, the roof design, and the type of windows you choose can also make a big impact on the comfort of your home.

You can reduce your air conditioning bill by using prudent designs and building materials that keep your home naturally cool and comfortable during the Puerto Vallarta summer. You do need to know that while the temperature averages in the low 90’s during the summer here in Puerto Vallarta, the air is extremely humid. Your home design must take this into consideration. Air conditioning does a wonderful job of maintaining a constant humidity level, but by using design techniques that reduce humidity and improve the overall comfort of your home, you can reduce the impact that high humidity will have on your home’s interior and keep your air conditioning bills in line.

In short, you’ll want to use design services that understand the unique environmental requirements of Puerto Vallarta luxury homes. Select Mexico Properties’ design professionals can offer expert Puerto Vallarta real estate, create environmentally friendly designs that factor in Puerto Vallarta’s climate, and increase the value and comfort of your Puerto Vallarta real estate.

If you’d like more information on how the role that good design plays in the value of your Puerto Vallarta real estate, please contact a Select Mexico Properties sales representative today.
