Akumal

The Tulum real estate market is exciting to say the least. As you may know, Tulum has recently became its own municipality and in April 2009 the first elected major took office. The main reason of much attention to this small town is the amazing growth rate that investors from all regions of the world have contributed in the past several years.

As the new administration faces the challenge of guiding the impulse of young investors and entrepreneurs, Tulum has begun defining a PDU ( urban developing plan ) that will guide the city for its projected fast growth. As buyers learn more of the real estate market and of the development plan, they discover the amazing potential and opportunity for investment with the zoning structure and density allotments granted by the authorities.

There are many three main reasons why the Tulum real estate region is so appealing to thousands of investors from all over the world:

  • The region is close to Cancun and Playa del Carmen, very easy access by plane and road and yet has not the inconveniences of a big city such as traffic and concrete. Tulum has the only Mayan city that faces the crystal turquoise waters of the Mexican Caribbean, it's a walled city that embraces well preserved authentic Mayan buildings full of mysticism and history.
  • The fantastic white powder Tulum beaches that are unique in the world and that border the lush Mayan jungle. Underneath is perhaps the Mecca for cave diving, the largest underground water systems in the world still in process of being discovered.
  • The upcoming Tulum international airport, will be located 12 Km North of the city which will bring many jobs and tourist traffic to the area.

Akumal Real Estate News

I took a quick visit to the Tulum real estate region this afternoon.  It is always fun to visit this up and coming town because there always seems to be something new.  Today, I thought I would let my photos do most of the talking. When many people imagine the Tulum Real Estate market....this is what usually comes to mind. Many people are surprised, as I was today to see a variety of new projects being constructed.  This is a small complex, 8 units, shared garden areas with beautiful pool, all within walled perimeter in the Tulum center. The thatched roof on this building is a common site here in Tulum and gives the ambiance of the region.  This design actually is quite practical as it absorbs the direct rays of the sun, and the open patio allows for the ocean breezes to distribute the build up of the temperature. Thinking of retiring in Mexico, down here in Tulum?  Ok, this type of layout and the majority of them being single story looks incredibly inviting. Do you want to get lost in the Tulum jungle?  Eco living, live off the land, solar energy, wind power....that can be found here in the Tulum real estate region too. Check out this outdoor bathtub.  Don`t worry about the neighbors seeing you,  take a look at that jungle.  No one can see you except the monkeys. If being off the grid is too extreme for you, check out the wide avenues, underground electric, fiber optics, and other services this project is offering. Well, after a long day of work,  might as well wind her down a little by checking out one of my favorite beaches.

Last  week, TOP Mexico Real Estate was invited to the Riviera Maya University where Mr. Paul Sanchez gave a presentation regarding SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT and how it is and can continue to be introduced here in the Playa del Carmen land growth and development that is occurring.  Mr. Paul Sanchez administers the CEA, a non profit conservation organization based in Akumal.  He helps to review the impact of the growth and development upon the environment.  His goal is to share his know-how, the data he collects from the environment in order to help educate the government, the private sector, and all people the relations that exist between ecology and community development. In the presentation he stated; "Sustainable development is development that satisfies present needs without compromising the ability of future generations to satisfy their own needs. The core principles that we need to work on are economic, social, and environmental, searching for equilibrium among the three."

From here, he pointed out the importance of having adequate indicators introduced to the process in order to adequately measure changes in the system.  Depending on the region or the specific environment in question will determine the type of indicators that  must be implemented.  Here in thePlaya del Carmen and the Riviera Maya region, the coral reefs, the sand dunes, the mangroves, cenotes, underground streams, the jungle, and the wild life that lives within are some of the Eco system that we must... protect while development occurs.

The Playa del Carmen real estate market is one of the fastest growing communities in Latin America.    With so many people being introduced to this region, it is hard to overlook the "shock" this trend is placing upon the eco system.  I enjoyed listening and learning of this message that Mr. Paul Sanchez was transmitting.  Paul has a large task set before him and many people I speak with feel their contribution will be too small and a mere drop in the bucket  therefore insignificant.   But all actions (such as conserving water, ensuring your property's drainage system, voicing your opinion with the public officials etc.)  executed jointly and with persistence will make the difference.

What do you think? Don't our kids and our grand kids deserve an effort  from us so they also can experience this ... "paradise"? To learn more about Paul and CEA click here ( CEA  ) Thomas Lloyd graduated from Purdue University Krannert School of Management with a degree in Management/Financial Option Investments. He has been living, investing, and working professionally in Mexico for over 15 years. In the summer of 2009, he received the first federally applied Mexico Real Estate Degree and Mexico Professional Real Estate License S.E.P. #5978657.

Are you ready for an early retirement in luxury?  One Tulum beachfront home, Casa Ina Tan Kanab, provides an ideal opportunity for an active retirement in a property with high-quality design, located in an environment-focused community, and close to many activities and services. This home was created by Dallas architect George Woo, whose work includes several luxury homes in that area as well international projects.  His design is modern, clean and elegant – ideal for a relaxing retirement lifestyle.  The living room offers one-hundred and eighty degree views of the ocean, and there is an infinity pool, as well as large yard and garden areas.  There are 4 bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms, plus an extra guest house.  At the back, there is lush, green vegetation. Close contact with nature, and an effort to preserve it and include it in development has in many ways help define Tulum real estate.  If you want to retire in an eco-friendly community, Tulum, located on the Yucatan Peninsula, about an hour and a half from Cancun, is one of your best choices.  The village of Akumal, 20 minutes away, where this home is located, is no exception.  In addition to sand-dune preservation and sea turtle protection areas, residents enjoy close access to beautiful nature, both on the beachfront, and in the surrounding lagoons. One of the defining points of Mexico retirement has become the excellent quality of services available; just down the road in Playa del Carmen (a 40 minute drive), there are new malls, large screen theaters, which play movies in English and world-class hospitals – a little bonus is that they cost around 50% less than comparable hospitals in the U.S.!  There are also many excellent golf courses (one PGA), and several marinas in the area.  The Cancun international airport provides direct flights to many cities within the U.S. and Canada. Tulum itself is also on the verge of growing significantly, which will make retirement more convenient.  New upscale neighborhoods with stylish village centers are begin to sell homes and land.  A new international airport is in the bidding stage for private construction and operation rights.  But Tulum has also taken a special angle, designing an urban growth plan to promote low-density development which respects the area's natural setting. While conveniences grow in Tulum, both Tulum and Akumal will retain their small-town atmosphere, and continue to provide high-quality retirement lifestyle with a consideration for nature. The growth in the area will also increase rental demand; for any retiree who buys this home and uses it only part of the year, a considerable income can be gained in this way.  The current owner has enjoyed a very successful return through his rentals. Consider a luxury retirement on the Tulum beachfront.
Maybe spend it all on travelling? Maybe invest it? Why not both?  One Tulum beachfront home, the well-designed Casa Ina Tan Kanab, is an excellent choice for combining luxury vacations and enjoying  a good return on a property investment. This Mexico home is one of the original and highest quality available in the village of Akumal, which is on the Caribbean coast of the Yucatan, not far from Playa del Carmen and Cancun. What, exactly, makes this house a good way to spend those million dollars? The Location – The home is located directly on the beachfront in the Mexico real estate region of Akumal.  It is a short walk to two of Akumal's best beaches.  Akumal is charming town with a good deal of high-end homes, and with a special focus on environmental preservation, just as much of the Tulum area.  Within a 40 minute drive, residents have access to all the services of Playa del Carmen (malls, hospitals, restaurants, movie theaters, etc.) and a bit more than an hour away is the Cancun International Airport.  There are also plans for an international airport directly in Tulum.  For this reason it is not surprising that similar Akumal real estate is being listed for over $2 million USD. The Price Reduction – This home is probably really worth closer up towards the $2 million mark, but was originally listed low at $1.4 million.  The owner, hoping to sell quickly, has reduced this price by 36% to $899,000!  Reselling the home in the future for a significantly higher price should be possible – the new airport also points to rising prices in the area. The Design – This 4 bedroom, 4.5 bathroom home was designed and built by an experienced international architect, with a modern, slightly minimalist design, idea for oceanfront relaxation.  It includes an infinity pool, and large yard and garden spaces.  There are wide, panoramic views of the ocean, and elegant furnishings and decorations. The Rental Income – Tulum and Akumal's green tourism focus continues to attract higher numbers of visitors.  Demand for luxury vacation rental is rising as a comfortable (and less expensive) alternative to high-end resorts.  This home continues to provide a significant for the current owner, who has covered ownership costs while enjoying the home for his own vacations.  The home is already booked full for Christmas/New Years 2010. The new growth seen in Tulum, both in terms of real estate and tourism, points to two very good investment possibilities with this home.  And, like the current owner, you can also enjoy your own vacations in style ...

One of the best possible vacation property purchases is one which can double as an investment; when a property has a high rental demand, you can justify investing more of your funds, knowing that extra expense will be more than covered by the income. One Tulum beachfront home provides a luxury vacation lifestyle, and a prime example of how the same property can bring excellent investment return. This luxury Mexico home is located in the village of Akumal, which is just a short drive north of Tulum, one of the most promising up-and-coming tourism spots on the the Mexican Caribbean, already famous for places like Cancun and Playa del Carmen (40 minutes and 1 hour and 15 minutes away from Akumal, respectively).  Each location provides close access to many convenient services, ranging from an international airport to modern hospitals to golf courses and English movie theaters. Located directly on the oceanfront, within walking distance to two of the area's most beautiful beaches, the home itself includes over 3000 sq. ft of construction, with 4 bedrooms, and a living room with 180 degree views of the ocean.  The modern minimalist design offers a relaxing atmosphere. There is also a 2 bedroom guest home.  The area is ideal for vacationing, combining complete relaxation with many conveniences. For this same reason, the home has a very high and ongoing demand for vacation rentals.  The current owner has covered expenses of ownership in this way, and continues to enjoy significant income.  The guest home can also provide a separate rental unit. In addition to the rental income, the home also promises excellent return on the property value; Tulum real estate in the area with similar features and rental potential is being sold for over $2 million.  This home is currently listed at only $899,000, significantly reduced by an owner motivated to sell quickly. With a new airport on the way, and a well-designed urban growth plan already including a handful of upscale developments, value of real estate in the Tulum area looks like it's headed upward.  This home will probably show a sale value of closer to the $2 million in the future.  Increasing tourism also suggests that rental demand will grow. If you are looking for a vacation property that will be a real financial investment, consider this Tulum home.  You will  not be disappointed, either by the lifestyle or the income you enjoy.
