Is the Mexico Retirement industry a niche market that can help the Mexico real estate market come back?

 With millions of baby boomers reaching retirement age every day, the market for a lovely place to live with the security and services required is growing exponentially.  

For decades Costa Rica has stood out for its stability and has benefited from the most developed welfare system in the region.

Mexico real estate is regulated by several government bodies one of which is the Agrarian Minsitry (Secretaria de la Reforma Agraria) who published an official notification in the Mexican Official Gazette whereby the Agrarian Ministry commenced the delimitation and measurement of approximately 450 thousand hectares of national territories located in the Tulum Real Estate zone within the Biosphere Reserve of Sian Ka’an, in the Municipality of Tulum and Felipe Carrillo Puerto, in the State of Quintana Roo.

North Americans with Mexico homes in Chapala, Ajijic and the rest of the Lake Chapala Real Estate area enjoy the convenience of being only a 40 minute drive away from the Guadalajara International Airport.  The airport is the busiest of the 12 operated by the Grupo Aeroportuario del Pacifico (GAP), followed by Tijuana, Puerto Vallarta and Los Cabos.  For residents of Chapala, and for North Americans considering buying Lake Chapala Real Estate, this statistic means a lot of options for direct flights back home at reasonable prices.  GAP’s continued expansion, investment and improvement of the airport guarantees continued excellence of services.

Puerto Vallarta real estate always offers many, diverse activities for residents of the city.   Mexico retirement groups and foreign winter visitors enjoy participating in projects that protect and care for the areas nature and its creatures– one of Puerto Vallarta real estate’s most important attractions.  During the summer months there has been an increased focus on protecting newly born sea turtles.

In the months of June / July the nesting season for the Olive Ridley Turtle – the most common sea turtle in the Puerto Vallarta area – began; the season lasts until November.  The natural nesting cycle of the turtles includes abandoning the eggs for the 50 to 60 day incubation period, when the eggs hatch, and the newly-born turtles instinctively head for the sea.  While it is a natural part of the process that many are taken by predators, including seagulls, it is important to ensure that a large number arrive safely to the sea, since these turtles are a threatened species.

In Puerto Vallarta, there are various organizations devoted to the protection of these turtles, which provide opportunities for volunteers and retirement groups to take newly born sea turtles to the edge of the water and help increase their chances of survival.  The programs not only help prevent loss due to natural predators, but also make sure that swimming and other potentially disruptive sea activities are put on hold during the time that the turtles go to sea.  The volunteers are organized, with a line drawn at the edge of the ocean so they don’t accidentally step on the turtles others are releasing.

Slow down in the economy here in Playa del Carmen?  Real Estate prices continue to be supported or I should say that the factors that play heavy into the stability of market prices continue to grow here in the Riviera Maya.  I speak with many Americans and Canadians everyday who are wondering about the Playa del Carmen real estate prices;  how are the Mexico Homes values being effected with the world financial turmoils and the Mexican economy being tied in so tight with North America?   How are these situations playing upon the Mexico real estate market? 

I have always had the image of the water on the Gulf of Mexico being the same as what I see off of the west coast of Florida.  I even heard and read from some people that the beaches in Campeche Mexico were ugly because of the high concentration of the oil industry operations off of Ciudad del Carmen coast line in the southern corner of the state.  But, the Campeche Beachfront real estate that I visited ripped all of my previous assumptions!   These were definitely some of the most desirable Mexico real estate properties that I have visited.

 I have been writing in previous posts about our process of doing a small fixer-upper project in the middle of the booming Playa del Carmen real estate region.  Click here to see the previous stories on this Mexico fixer upper project.  If you are dreaming about buying an inexpensive Mexico real estate property, you most likely have some thoughts or  rough ideas in your head on what type of project you want as a final product.  Some of you may have already scouted out a particular neighborhood or some Mexico land and have a good idea on how you want to use the property whether it be for personal use, a long term rental property, a vacation rental, bed and breakfast the options are limitless.  When you choose which plan or the face lift project you want to incorporate into your Mexico fixer upper, the “final use” of the product is one of the most important question that needs answering and below I have listed out several other questions you should be asking yourself and your partners. 

An increasing number of American, European and Canadian investors are being drawn to the real estate market in Costa Rica; they find it offers them a genuine alternative to the volatility and insecurity of equity markets and also an escape from their restrictively expensive domestic property markets.

the Governor of the state Félix González Canto along with the Mayor of Tulum, Marciano Dzul Camaal, inaugurated new public works for the benefit of the people and tourists that visit our Tulum real estate region, an investment in the 3 million dollars range.  These types of investments are welcome to any Mexico real estate market, and given that Tulum only has a population of a rough estimated 20,000 people,  these injections are very interesting.
