Are you looking for your Playa del Carmen real estate search online?   If so, you will want to make sure that you are using good Playa del Carmen MLS listings.   The following features will help you make the most of this preliminary stage of your search.

Thoroughness

Playa del Carmen is a growing and moving market with plenty of new and used properties for sale, with a large variety of styles and locations (see below).   The more properties you have access to viewing on your Mexico MLS listings early on in your search, the better feel you will have for the market, prices, styles and locations available, etc. and the better you will be able to identify what property style appeals to you.   It also increases the chances that you will actually identify that perfect property in this early stage, saving a good deal of time!

Variety

Playa del Carmen has many beautiful beachfront condos downtown.   But it also has excellent golf course homes, gated communities, resort condos, fixer-uppers, lots for sale, etc.     The locations to consider include the downtown area, upscale communities nearby and even nice areas back from the beach (in Playa del Carmen, “very far away from the beach” means a 10 minute drive.)   The listings you are looking at should include a good variety of styles, prices and locations, and a way to compare and see this variety easily.

Photos

A picture says a thousand words.   In addition to a brief description, the listings should include a good gallery for each property with a variety of views to help you get a good feel for what you're looking at.

Maps

To help you get a feel for and evaluate location, it's important that maps be included.   Some listing services will have a map search option so you can look at the map, see each property's location indicated and get more info by clicking on the property.   Even if you don't know Playa del Carmen well, this will help you choose areas that you think you would enjoy living in.

Videos

Not all properties will have videos, but good listings will include video tours of spotlight properties.   If a picture says a thousand words, you might say a video “says a thousand pictures.”   If there are videos, take time to watch them.

While not all properties will have all listing features, looking for a listing that includes most of these for most properties will greatly help you start your search off on the right foot!
