Campeche Real Estate – Investment of $1 Billion Reflects Potential

April 13th, 2010

The Cheap Mexico Beachfront Real Estate available in the town of Sabancuy, Campeche (Yucatan Peninsula) continue to show ongoing promise as a high-potential Mexico Land investment as federal representatives for the area hint at an infrastructure investment of about $1 billion US to carry out 5 major road projects. Together with other significant investment in the Campeche Real Estate area, both government and private, the area is showing signs of becoming Mexico’s newest world-class tourism and real estate destination.

The latest announcement of heavy investment in the area comes from the Federal Committee on Transportation, where the governor Rosas of the state of Campeche indicated the need for about $1 billion US for the modernization of a major bridge, the construction of Campeche-Merida highway, the expansion of ports in Ciudad del Carmen and Champoton, and a couple of other major road infrastructure projects. The funds are expected to be allotted for 2011.

For property buyers considering real estate in Campeche, this type of investment means that road services will be expanding, contributing to the expansion of the convenient life style the area offers. Extended highway access to Merida will also continue to strengthen the connection to the attractions, conveniences and business opportunities in the thriving economy in the Yucatan peninsula’s established real estate areas, also including Cancun and Playa del Carmen.

This investment is a reflection of the growing attention that the state of Campeche is capturing on an international level. In the private sector, Campeche Playa, Golf, Marina & Spa Resort development by the Mall corporation (from Europe) has been advancing, with its first stage being delivered during the first few months of 2010. The first stage includes 243 condo units, and a luxury hotel. The golf course is a Jack Nicklaus design. A second, similar development was recently announced.

While condos in these developments are being at about $500,000 U.S., the nearby beachfront land development in the village of Sabancuy is offering lots starting at under $80,000 U.S. The lots include 20 m (66 ft) of beachfront, and a depth of 400 m (1320 ft.) The lots include guarantees for full services, including electricity, water, internet and telephone. In addition, the ongoing interest and investment into the area indicates that the selling price of one of these lots, with a home construction, will be considerably more than the cost of the land and the building expense, making for a solid investment opportunity, and an excellent choice for buyers relocating to the beachfront.

Playa del Carmen Real Estate; Unique European Atmosphere for 2010

January 26th, 2010

One of the key advantages that Playa  del Carmen Real Estate holds over its larger neighbour, Cancun, and many other favourite beachfront real estate choices, is its unique small city, European-like atmosphere. While the real estate area surrounding and including Playa del Carmen, known as the Riviera Maya, certainly includes many large resort developments with excellent properties, these are balanced by Playa del Carmen’s famous Fifth Avenue, which is defined by small boutique hotels, a broad range of restaurants and shops, all within comfortable walking distance.

Playa  del Carmen Real Estate in the area centered on Fifth Avenue can be compared to the flavour and style of the hotels. Many of these hotels have under 60 rooms. While less internet presence makes gives these small, stylish hotels less attention in booking from abroad, the style and atmosphere they add to this part of Playa del Carmen with their street level restaurants and cafes adds a defining element to every resident’s lifestyle. The condos in small, elegant buildings and homes nearby give real estate owners a similarly stylish lifestyle, but these properties do not lack presence on the internet, and several excellent real estate websites, such as www.mexico-playadelcarmen-realestate.com, provide excellent overviews of possibilities in these areas.

In addition to these hotels, Fifth Avenue, which is a dedicated pedestrian street, has a unique, international atmosphere. The international feeling is reflected in the type of visitors that stay in the small hotels, which in addition to Canadians and Americans, includes a significant number of Italians and Argentinians, as well as many other nationalities. The restaurants and bars range from traditional Mexican, to high quality Argentinian grills, to upscale modern jazz bars, to Jamaican live reggae bars. Real estate owners will likewise feel this atmosphere, with the comfort of neighbours from the U.S. and Canada, together with the interesting experience of neighbours from many other parts of the world.

New property buyers who prefer this kind of atmosphere should consider some of the many condos available within short walking distance to both Fifth Avenue, and the beachfront, famous for its soft, white sand and turquoise blue waters. Of course, those who prefer other styles of real estate, such as the luxury marina development in Puerto Aventuras, or the high quality villas in “El Cielo” will also have only a short drive to arrive to the center of Playa del Carmen.

Visit Puerto Penasco through Presentation yields Poor Attendance

June 4th, 2009

With just over 60 local people on hand, therapists from the Sonora Dolphinarium, which has been operating out of San Carlos Nuevo Guaymas since 2006, presented information on how to use dolphin therapy services among persons with disabilities.

The municipal auditorium set the scene for the gathering, welcoming parents of at least 20 children with central nervous system problems who are interested in dolphin assisted therapy.

After explaining the characteristics of the eco-locating system of dolphins and the history of therapies with these marine mammals, Iveth Hoyos Robles, therapy director at the Sonora Dolphinarium, reported they are visiting municipalities throughout the state in order to teach people more about this program and how they can access it.

She detailed that since October 2006, when operations began, they have tended to 1,159 people, principally children, who in general have had very favorable results through dolphin assisted therapies.

She clarified dolphin-therapy is a therapeutic method that does not substitute other therapies, rather it is a complement to treatments a patient with neurological problems may be going through.

Hoyos Robles noted care provided at the dolphinarium, which consists of five 20 minute sessions, is based on dolphin’s sonar stimulating the central nervous system and helping the reactivation of neurons.

Therapist Wendy Zavala Salcedo indicated they are tending to ah types of central nervous system problems, yet those with brain paralysis, autism, Down syndrome, spinal bifida, among others, have been the most predominant. She remarked within the 2 years four months the Sonora Dolphinarium has been in operation they have been able to document positive effects for the short, medium and long term.

Among them, she stated, are the improvement of the quantity and quality of children’s dreams progress in the affect area, improved self-esteem and socialization, as well as progress in areas of concentration, decreases in hyper-activity and control of eating habits, among other favorable results.

Iveth Hoyos Robles told those interested in the program that the normal cost of dolphin assisted therapy is 12,000 pesos, but in 90% of the cases this amount is offset through scholarships offered by the state DIF or sponsors from private initiatives. The therapy director from the Sonora Dolphinarium stressed the cost for those interested in first-time therapy treatments is based on a socioeconomic study, with the support of municipal DIF offices or committees for the integration of persons with disabilities.

She indicated up to now they have worked with 9 patients from Puerto Penasco and the idea is to work with many more, as the goal for 2009 is to provide dolphin assisted therapy to 6oo people, primarily children.

Financing Homes in Mexico – Baby Boomers are starting to get it

May 5th, 2009

For those that want to stretch their equity, there are now options for USA financing of Homes in Mexico. Baby Boomers can sell their current homes and place only a portion of the proceeds into their home in Mexico as a down payment. Monthly payments will often be much less than their current payment on their “Raised the Children In” home.

When choosing vacation properties for the intention of making it a retirement home, however, the results are a bit surprising. One might assume that many people will choose golf course locations or beach side resorts. While this is still a popular option, many Baby Boomers are choosing their property based on the availability of quality health care. The Baby Boomers who participated in various studies cited that rural areas where they could get affordable health care quickly was more important than the proximity to their favorite past time. However, as this generation throughout their lives has become accustomed to, they want it all. In Mexico, they get it all. Access to affordable high quality medical facilities as well as the beach lifestyle that they have been looking for. Many are choosing to settle in residential resort communities in Mexico that are only a short drive from the USA like Rosarito Beach, Ensenada, San Felipe and Puerto Penasco, for that additional peace of mind.

Savvy developers have imported the technology of “Residential Resort Lifestyles” – a true-blue American concept -into the country, with the result that for Baby Boomers, a home in a resort in Mexico is truly a home away from home. These residential resorts are typically located by the seaside with all amenities that one can imagine-swimming pools, a community center, recreation hall, easy commuting distance to a golf course, theater, bar and restaurants, pizza, shopping mall, launderettes, and wi-fi internet service. With the ocean before them, water sports are of course emphasized. These facilities ensure that a residential resort home owner need not really step out too far from their door for socializing, relaxation and enjoyment.

Homes in these residential resorts are usually custom-designed and well constructed. While planning the home design, architects and building contractors are required to follow strict guidelines that adhere to the best U.S. standards of construction, including height regulations thereby respecting their neighbor’s ocean and mountain views. People who may have spent their life in cramped conditions, or perhaps had to adjust with rented homes while working in cities get the chance to let their imagination soar and bring to reality their dreams about the seaside home they have always wanted.

Ownership of residential land in Mexico for non-nationals is thought a vehicle known as “Fideicomiso”. The Fideicomiso is akin to an USA Living Trust, whose basis is the Trust whose basis is the Trust system of ownership. It is through a Fideicomiso that Baby Boomers have been acquiring absolute ownership rights to Property in Mexico. Baby Boomers need to make sure that by a professional title insurance company that takes could possibly and conceivably arise. This protects the nest that takes into account all the issues and eventualities that could possibly and conceivably arise. This protects the nest that the Baby Boomers is so assiduously building for themselves, post retirement.

It has begun to happen-Prospective retirees are buying their dream houses along the serene and peaceful coasts of Northwest Mexico. While waiting for the big day when they actually retire, these Baby Boomers snatch long weekends from their hectic schedule and can drive to their seaside vacation home. The moments spent at the waterfront are so relaxing and rejuvenating.

Retirement Homes in Mexico – Baby Boomers are Starting to Get it

April 28th, 2009

The Generation of Baby Boomers who have experienced the most exciting and economically prosperous of all times are starting to look for retirement Properties in Mexico. They want to take their current home equities and leverage them into seaside resort living with all the relaxation and recreational amenities that they have always dreamed about. Most need to look towards Mexico for affordable beach homes, easy living, and excellent medical facilities.

Of all the generations that span the history of mankind, it is the Baby Boomers who have experienced the most exciting and economically prosperous times of all. Babies born immediately after the World War ended witnessed the economy of the country shifting gears-from war mode and war mood to business mode and business mood. As the rest of world became busy in repairing its war-worn cities and fractured economies, businesses in United States enjoyed unprecedented boom time, with overfilled order books that ensured prosperity and wealth to its citizenry for decades to come.

Various studies and researches have thrown up interesting facts. Baby Boomers usually expect to be retired by the time they reach 65. This means that in another five years from now, the first waves of this generation will start moving towards the Mexico Vacation Homes that they have so craved all their life. Almost 60% of the survey respondents want their vacation homes to be away from an urban setting, and almost 50% said that they preferred living in an age-restricted community. Many are planning on selling their current homes that have greatly appreciated in value. For some this equity is a large part of their retirement planning. The trick is to find a dream home that will allow them to utilize this equity as part of their living expenses.

After spending a lifetime chasing money in crowded, polluted, and stuffy offices and factory floors in busy cities, Baby Boomer generation longs for life that is totally different. A deeper analysis of the numbers thrown up by all the surveys quoted above reveals that people in the age group from forty to sixty have made up their mind – well, at least a majority of them-to shift away from their present home which has so well served its purpose and utility. But it is time now, folks, to move on. To enjoy the goodies that this world has to offer. To be in the lap of Mother Nature, and yet enjoy the material comforts that money in the bank can buy.

This perception has driven the Baby Boomers towards climes that are relaxing and soothing to the body and the mind. Mexico has long been an attractive destination, with its exotic locales, sunny weather, intriguing history, and familiar culture plus of course its proximity to the home country, which is a bonus. The NAFTA agreement between Canada , the USA and Mexico (initiated by yet another Baby Boomer, Bill Clinton), signed in 1994, opened up the possibility of Mexico becoming a favorite place to retire. Today, more than a million Americans have chosen Mexico as their home; indeed it is the largest group of Americans residing anywhere on the planet outside the U.S. And a majority of this residents and investors are Baby Boomers.

So be a part of this great opportunity and plan to spend your rest of life in a heavenly abode in Mexico.

Lava Flows Visible From New Pinacate, Mexico

April 24th, 2009

Bet you don’t know what’s happening out in the middle of the Sonoran Desert right now, do ya? Yes, we all know that the snakes and reptiles are out, sunbathing and waiting for the next unsuspecting tourist or hiker to pass by before giving them the scare of their life. This “thing” is so big that it covers over 8,000 square feet and looks out over recent lava flows and those beautiful, tempting sand dunes.

In between Puerto Penasco and Sonoyta, Mexico, just outside a little town called Nayarit sits the most wonderful place in the Sonoran Desert . The Pinacate Biosphere Reserve is so richly diverse that it houses a variety of different plant life and wildlife, including the endangered Sonoran Pronghorn.

If you’re lucky, as you drive toward Rocky Point on Hwy. 8, you might catch sight of a big horn sheep off in the distance walking along the side of a mountain. Most of you pass right by the green sign that tells you that a world of discovery and adventure is just a little way up the dusty trail. More of you have probably taken notice within the last year or so when all of the signs and fences started going up to protect the area from vehicles. It took them a long time to be recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and it seems now is something finally come of it.

Along with housing great hiking and camping spots, the Pinacates is also home to volcanic craters such as the Cerro Colorado and the Elegante. They are massive when you get to stand on the edge of them and look down. The area is more commonly known for its peaks and craters, but there are a ton of people (biologists, botanists, etc.) who are thrilled at studying the diverse life (animal and plant) that can survive in such harsh conditions. (when you’re sweating in Phoenix or Penasco, they are boiling at the Reserve, there has even been snow spotted on top of the peaks – believe it or not!)

Their new cultural and visitor’s center will contain a wealth of information and services such as those found at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Cabeza Prieta national wildlife refuge and many other protected areas around the world. The lobby will contain all kinds of information about the area – the plants you will come across, the reptiles you might meet and the flying insects that might try to bite you during the night. The building will contain lots of photos, drawings, models and museum quality pieces – artifacts are often found in the area (please don’t remove them).

The center will be a wealth of cultural and historical information – from the library to the auditorium. There will be an onsite cafeteria, restrooms, a desert botanical garden and telescopes to view the beautiful scenery from.

Their cultural and visitor’s center will be a great addition for those who like to learn more about the area, nature or just want a diversion or fun activity.

Before you buy a Real Estate in Mexico

April 7th, 2009

No matter who you are, if you are going to buy a piece of Mexican real estate – no matter how small or how large the property in question may be – you will need to become familiar with the services that are offered by the local notary public before moving ahead in any fashion with a real estate transaction. The Mexican notary public will hold your hand right from the very beginning of the purchase, and a title search will only take him, at the most, a few days. If there is any potential problem with the title, you can be sure that the notary public will not want to ruin a good reputation (or lose a job) by trying to hide it, and he or she will let you know immediately.

If you become committed to buying a piece of quality Cancun Real Estate or Playa del Carmen Real Estate in Mexico in a reasonable time frame with reasonable expectations, the chances are very good that you will never have a problem throughout the buying process of any Real Estate in Mexico. The key point (and this really can’t be stressed enough) is that you have to be diligent while you are doing your research, and you also need be a little more cautious than you would if you were buying real estate in your native country. This is not because the people and professionals you will deal with in Mexico are villains; in fact you will find that the Mexican people are the farthest thing from villainous! Rather, the reason you need to be careful is that unless you are a native of Mexico that is coming back, or unless you are married to or related to a Mexican native, you will have to overcome the language, cultural and legal barriers that would be present no matter where you bought land, unless it is in your own country.

As you can see, Mexico Real Estate offers investment oportunities like Beachfront Condos, Rental Villas, Apartments etc. If you have any questions or advise regarding Mexican Property, Feel free to contact Tom Budniak of Mexico Realty Executives for the best deals in Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, Riviera Maya and Playa del Carmen.

Rocky Point will have its Home Port

April 1st, 2009

The Holland America shipping company revealed that in three years, with the construction of a Cruise Ship Home Port, Puerto Penasco will be taking another step to become a world-class tourist destination.

Holland America is planning to have one cruise ship a week on the Sea of Cortez route as of 2011, stated Simon Douwes, Planning and Scheduling Director, who recently confirmed that at the latest in three years, Puerto Penasco will become the site for the arrival and departure of cruise ships.

Plans are to make between 50 and 60 trips in the “World’s Aquarium”, departing from Puerto Penasco to Guaymas, Loreto, La Paz and Topolobampo, and then, returning to the port of departure.

He stated that the Sea of Cortez route is excellent for the company, because in only seven days they can go to six Mexican ports, which will provide a myriad of attractions.

On the other hand, the coordinator of the Commission for the Development of Tourist of the State Government, Epifanio Salido Pavlovich, explained that initially there will be a 14 day route that will depart from San Diego, California, and will travel to Puerto Penasco; then Guaymas, and the tour will conclude in the port of embarkation.

Representatives of Holland America and Carnival Corporation recently visited the area of Sandy Beach, where they intend to locate the cruise ship terminal in Puerto Penasco.

An assessment on the technical feasibility of building the wharf in this area of Rocky Point, Mexico was conducted with good results. Possible attractions in that area that could be provided to cruise ship customers were analyzed within the plans to set-up the Home Port. Some of these attractions are the Visitor Center of the “El Pinacate” Biosphere Reserve which is another option that can be provided to nautical tourists.

Government sources said that the Home Port project in Puerto Penasco is looking for the appropriate conditions to remain as the Sea of Cortez cruise ship route, while at the same time duly caring for the environment and furthering a sustainable activity through ecological balance.

On October 16, the first tourist cruise ship owned by Holland America arrived in Guaymas, Sonora, while the second one arrived on November 15. in both cases, 1,200 tourists enjoyed the region’s attractions.

A “home port” is a port of arrival, or rather, the site where cruises begin and end. It is something Mexico had never had up to now. This benefit will also include Puerto Penasco once the construction of the Home Port is completed a few kilometers from the US border.

The Government of Sonora, the Florida and Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA), and the Coordination General of Ports and Merchant Marine, a body belonging to the Department of Communications and Transportation (SCT) entered into negotiations to make this project come true.
