If he's trying to make a case for opportunities for North American resort development, it would have been more helpful if the writer had given us a clue as to how the inventory shortfall (unmet demand?) is segmented by price range.

The variables that make up each market are so varying that it really doesn't tell us too much that we can apply to our market to improve it.

]]> Comment on Interview with Jennifer Swarts from Mazatlan by Mazatleca http://www.mexicorealestateinvestment.org/interview-with-jennifer-from-mazatlan/00174#comment-2934 Mazatleca Sun, 21 Sep 2008 22:03:50 +0000 http://mexicorealestateinvestment.org/?p=174#comment-2934 There are quite a few inaccuracies in this article, but as a newcomer who doesn't know the language Jennifer is not to be faulted completely. Some responsibility for checking accuracy should be on the person publishing. For example, a phone line costs nowhere near $50.00 a month as stated here. On Jennifer's blog she states that she didn't get a phone because of an outstanding charge against the house (that's a Mexico thing, but quite different than she wrote here about not having a phone because it's too expensive). We regular mexicans have phone lines. They cost $200 pesos a month or about $20.00US with Telmex. We get 100 free calls and additional calls after 100, the price is still very low. There is no way to buy a house for $15,000.00 USD here these days (maybe more than 10 years ago, yes). That was someone spinning a tale and someone else believing it. The government sponsored homes for workers, tiny little homes, are over $30,000.00 and gringos can't buy them. Construction workers are making much more money than $9.00 a day. So are plumbers, so are electricians. This is not current information, or more likely a gringo rumor. Cleaning ladies make about double that, in fact. I hope you allow this post to stand, since publishing inaccuracies does no favors to anyone. People move here, and then are very disappointed that things aren't as they read. Check your facts folks. Mil gracias. There are quite a few inaccuracies in this article, but as a newcomer who doesn’t know the language Jennifer is not to be faulted completely.

]]> Comment on 2008 Outlook for Yucatan Real Estate by David Christian http://www.mexicorealestateinvestment.org/2008-outlook-for-yucatan-real-estate/00181#comment-2933 David Christian Sun, 21 Sep 2008 21:55:17 +0000 http://www.mexicorealestateinvestment.org/?p=181#comment-2933 Merida is an absolutely amazing place, real estate-wise. Overlooked by tourists who crave the beach, it has become a mecca for American and European retirees, and those who are savvy enough to see the developing boom. Though the population is close to 1 million, the feel of the city is still intimate, and with every conceivable service, American franchise, and cultural amentities such as opera, theatre, symphony and museums...it's hard to find anything not to like about Merida. A large English-speaking community makes everyday communication easy for those who haven't yet mastered Spanish. And the warmth of the people is matched only by the weather. Whether you want to experience the "real" Mexico by staying close to the Centro and experiencing all the colors, sounds, sights and flavors of it's colonial old world charm...or you prefer to live a completely American lifestyle by shopping at WalMart, Costco and Home Depot, Merida offers something for everyone. Thousands of fantastic colonial gems are for sale at a bargain, and are just waiting to be rescued by those with some forsight and a desire to save their faded grandeur. The combination of lifestyle, architecture and balmy, tropical ambience makes Merida a truly one of a kind place in which to live and invest. Merida is an absolutely amazing place, real estate-wise.
