We had the privilege of going on an Exclusive Broker’s Tour of 7 of the most prestigious, gorgeous and breathtaking developments in Punta Mita.

The tour left us in whirl of sensory overload and we would love to take the tour again and we plan to do so with our clients!  Thankfully, they provided us with plenty of printed information to take away with us, otherwise we wouldn’t be able to keep the unique details to each of these developments straight.

The biggest and best selling point in all of these is the unbelievable financing that is being offered.  Financing such as Non qualified (no credit checks, no applications!) 30% down you move in immediately (if the house is complete), interest only payments (some are offering 0% for first 12mos) with a balloon for the remaining balance due in 36 months!  Non-recourse loans, no origination or closing fees and NO pre-payment penalty!  Now this is a way to help people maximize their investments in these economical ups and downs!

Here is a quick recap of each Development and what we liked about each:

• I can’t wait to see the finished development!
• ONLY 10 left….from $1,520,000 to $2,460,000

I know that my very brief descriptions of these resorts don’t do them justice.  The best way to experience these resorts is to take a tour yourself!

Has the “doom and gloom” of the U.S. economy caused you to start saving your money instead of investing it? Of course in any investment there is always some amount of risk but knowledge is power when it comes to investing. In this blog lies a little bit of information to perk your interest in investing in the Mexico housing market.
That’s right investing in the housing market!

We are all too aware that the housing market in the U.S. is in the slumps which, has caused both Americans as well as some Canadians to become skittish about investing in the housing market in Mexico. In areas of Mexico where Americans and Canadians have in the past represented up to 50% of home purchases, Mexican citizens are picking up the slack which is keeping the market afloat as the economy in the U.S. continues to try to stabilize. 

Even so the now apprehensive and cautious American and Canadian investor has still created a buyers market in many areas of Mexico such as Puerto Vallarta and other popular tourist towns. The Mexican citizens are wasting no time buying up hot properties as their primary residence, rentals or a second home. They know as in times past the U.S. economy will mend itself and investors as well as retirees will be back in full force to invest in their piece of paradise.  For those that can buy in Mexico, now is the time!  There are some GREAT deals to be had.

The Miami Herald wrote:

“Long thrashed by swings in the U.S. economy, Mexico now boasts a thriving housing sector whose record growth leads Latin America — a sign of increased economic stability and an outlet for investors looking to escape the U.S. downturn.”

Karla Palomo and Bill Faries on Bloomberg.com writes:

“March 19 (Bloomberg) — Mexico’s Finance Minister Agustin Carstens said that a U.S. housing slowdown and losses incurred by subprime mortgage lenders won’t damp growth in Latin America’s second-biggest economy.”

So, are you going to wait until after home values rise in Mexico to invest or retire in your dream paradise?   Or would you rather buy while it is still a buyer’s market? There is great negotiating power in purchasing homes, lots, and commercial property in a buyers market.
