Mexico Real Estate Top 5 Invest1. Emergence of the Mortgage Market

The mortgage market in Mexico is extremely young but quickly maturing. The government has made it one of its top priorities to give more people access to home mortgages and facilitates hundreds of thousands of home loans now made each year. Mexico’s mortgage backed security market was born in 2003 and has attracted billions of investment dollars into the mortgage market.

2. Mexico is an Emerging Economy

The GDP of Mexico has been steadily rising at a steady rate over the past decade. This has helped pull citizens out of poverty and into a growing middle class. The workforce has become more educated, with the average citizen adding about a year of additional education since a decade ago. Higher gas prices also mean additional revenue for Mexico’s government since the country has a great abundance of oil reserves.

3. Increasing Demand

Baby boomers, a growing middle class in Mexico, greater availability of mortgages in Mexico, and American’s being priced out of US markets all lead to greater demand for the supply of good Mexican property.

4. Potential for Growth

There is tremendous untapped potential in Mexico. Prices are very low compared to inflated US home prices. Even the heavily developed markets have areas with opportunity for strong appreciation.

5. Ideal Climate

Living in a tropical climate and being surrounded by beautiful landscapes are features of Mexico that can definitely boost your sense of well being. Besides the potential for out performing other investments in your portfolio, living where there is ideal weather and being able to play by the beach are pretty great too.

    We have looked at investing in the Yucatan area. Do you think this is a wise choice? Or is there other comparable areas that would be a wiser investment? Thank you in advance.

    I believe that the Yucatan is a strong investment, as are a lot of places in Mexico. I would recommend that you research your top choices and list the pros and cons of each location. Look into the infrastructure, housing supply, local tax rates, surrounding community, rate of new development, local economy, local tourism, direct foreign investment, retail offerings, proximity to the beach, investment by Fonatur, socioeconomic status of the community. Once you’ve narrowed it down, visit the places you are most interested in. We have a partnership with investor tours in Puerto Vallarta if you are interested. We will continue to provide you with quality information and insights about various Mexican markets including the pros and cons, at this blog so stay tuned!

    Be very sure to understand the difference between “the Yucatan” (which is a 3-state peninsula) and Yucatan (which is the center state). There is a huge price difference in real estate between the states (Quintana Roo, Yucatan, & Campeche), as well as correspondingly huge differences in culture and governments. Their futures lie in 3 completely different directions - each wonderful, but for different reasons. The State of Yucatan is the best choice for long-term living for Americans and Canadians - no feeling of needing to be a “pioneer” and not overshadowed by a touristy lifestyle.
