Prospective buyers form their opinions about your Puerto Vallarta home within the first 15 seconds.  Therefore, you have to make your home as appealing as possible, as quickly as possible to the broadest clientele you can.  The new buyers need to imagine THEMSELVES in your property, living the good life.  Otherwise, they will not be interested in your Puerto Vallarta property and you may never get an offer.  The first thing to do is make a good first impression.

Re-paint your front door and change the old hardware.  Place planters on either side of the door with flowers in vibrant colors that excite the senses.  Inside the entry way, make sure the paint is creamy white and fresh and the floors look great.  All you need for décor is a thin table, a lamp and a vase with fresh flowers.   Then get rid of the clutter.  All the newspapers, mail, laundry, personal photos, collections and knickknacks must go.  Take all the furniture out of the rooms and bring it back one piece at a time.  Only the items that are essential should stay.  And arrange them to showcase the view, not block it!  Streamline your kitchen counters.  You can keep the coffee pot, but put away the toaster, blender, dishes, storage tins and fruit bowl.  You want sleek, clean lines.  You want the buyers to think, “Wow, look at the counter space!”  And the views, DON´T block the views.  Once you get organized, keep everything neat.  Polish the floors and put on a fresh coat of paint.  The bathroom can never be too clean, so hide the shampoo bottles and get rid of the old bathmat.  Search and destroy odors.  If you can smell it, we CAN´T sell it.   Make your home feel as spacious as possible.  Closets should only be half full.  If buyers see a jam-packed closet, they will think it will be too small for them too.  Bedrooms only need a bed, night table, lamp and maybe a comfy reading chair in the master.  So get rid of the exercise bike and pair down your excess belongings.  Pull the furniture out a few inches from the walls, and make sure the corners of rooms are visible.  Next, you want to “lighten up”.  No, not you, your place!  Get rid of any big heavy curtains, and install sheer window coverings and pull them to the side wherever possible.  You want the buyer to come in and think, “I could live here, it’s nice and bright.”  Then find yourself a superstar Mexico real estate agent who will spend some real time and effort marketing and selling your property.  Ask for referrals and get someone in AMPI and the MLS.  Finally, think price, price, and price. Because everybody wants to think they are getting a good deal right now.

The Playa del Carmen real estate region has a new Internet application that is amazing.  The feature allows users to take you down to view streets, residential neighborhoods, and views as if you were standing on the street.   When people are from out of town, and new to a city searching for properties, it can be difficult to feel the atmosphere of the neighborhoods and the conditions of the streets from simple photos.  The TOP Mexico Real Estate network has incorporated a brand new method to view particular properties from the streets and allows the users to virtually pivot 360 degrees to see the surrounding areas.  Currently only five cities in Mexico have this capability which include Mexico City, Monterrey, Puerto Vallarta, amongst others ….and Playa del Carmen!

“The Playa del Carmen real estate market is lucky to be only a handful of cities in Mexico to have this amazing feature”   states Beatriz Lozano from the Internet Technology department at Top Mexico Real Estate.   “today, if you are trying to sell your home and want increased exposure,  this feature has been very successful in allowing interested buyers to see the property at street level and basically, walk through the neighboring streets in Playa del Carmen…all from the comfort of their homes in Canada, USA, Europe!”

I believe we are the first real estate company in Mexico to offer this mind blowing feature.  I am very proud and happy of our team here at TOP Mexico Real Estate and sign off by saying

“stay tuned and visit our web site constantly… you ain’t seen nothing yet!!

We have seen a dramatic increase in the Puerto Vallarta real estate traffic and interest over the last few weeks.  One well established office in town reported that they have more transactions in process right now than they had for the entire summer.  Comments from fellow agents range from “better than earlier in the year” to “really busy”, to “going crazy!”  Many observers have termed the previous year a “buyers market” in most of the Mexico real estate region.

I do not subscribe to this assessment; I believe it should more correctly have been considered a “stagnant market”.  This is because many potential buyers were scared off by worldwide economic turmoil and over hyped media reports of drug violence and swine flu.  The buyers that were here made extremely low offers that sellers were not willing to accept.  Recently, it appears that buyers have begun to realize that the Real Estate market in Puerto Vallarta is strong, stable and offering excellent bargains for retirement and mid to long term investing.  The vast majority of sellers here paid cash for their property and are not in a panic to sell.    There was never “sub-prime lending” here in PV and consequently there is no mortgage crisis or foreclosure market here.  With $USD financing now readily available (typically with a down payment of 25-30%) a vast new market is poised to emerge.   The world economic turmoil has undoubtedly trimmed the nest eggs of most new buyers entering the market.  Therefore, I see a “return to affordability” as one of the primary drivers of the market next year.  Properties priced from $150k to $300k are right in the sweet spot for most buyers and this market will be active.  The $300k to $600k market has also seen a lot of increased activity, especially with $USD financing now available.  Luxury Puerto Vallarta properties priced over $1 million USD have never been a large percentage of the overall market; however we are seeing more showings and interest in these properties as well and expect numerous sales of well priced properties in this market as well.  In summary, I see a fairly strong market recovery over the next year.  It will not be a straight line upwards, or be the frenzy that epitomized 2006 and 2007, but it will be strong and it will be stable.  I believe that the market hit bottom in late spring/summer 2009 and anyone who purchased a property at this time should be commended for their guts and market timing.  This is not to say that there are still not good deals available in the market.  There are.  And there are sellers who still willing to negotiate on terms and price.  However I definitely see the tide turning, so if you are buyer and just found your “perfect place”, you better make your offer today, because the property may not be available tomorrow.  We will check back in May 2010 and see how clear my “crystal ball” was.

The purchase of  Puerto Vallarta homes can very likely be the  largest financial commitments many of you will make in your lifetime.  When coupled with the fact that you are considering investing in a second home in a foreign country such as Mexico, it is imperative that you have a knowledgeable, experienced professional Realtor representing your interests.

The company you select to represent you in your purchase procedure should be a member of the TOP Mexico Real Estate network.  This innovative group has carefully screened their members in various of the most popular Mexican markets.  These members have the local knowledge, insight and experience to guide you through every aspect of the purchase procedure.  Their extremely informative website is geared towards providing extensive information on how to buy Real Estate in Puerto Vallarta to their clients.  It can also be extremely helpful if your broker is a member of AMPI.

Not only is the AMPI member now affiliated with the U.S. National Association of Realtors (NAR), the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA), and the International Real Estate Association (FIABCI); they are also required to operate under a higher standard of care, and to adhere to a code of ethics, and they also have access to the Puerto Vallarta homes in the  Multiple Listing System, a computerized data base with thousands of properties listed for sale.

Next, ask for references and interview several brokers and Puerto Vallarta agents.  Ask questions and determine who has the best knowledge of the area and understanding of the principles of the market.  Most importantly, find someone that listens to YOU and has the energy and time to find what you are looking for, and the integrity to represent your best interests.  Once you find that special person, stick with him or her and let them do their job!  An agent that knows you are loyal to them is more likely to work harder for you and find exactly what you are looking for. You might want to start your search just south of Puerto Vallarta downtown in the “Zona Romantica” and Amapas neighborhoods.  This is the most desirable area for short term rental and there are many nice options with good views where you can walk to everything.  Then check Downtown; the Hotel Zone and Marina Vallarta which has good options for both Puerto Vallarta beachfront property options and marina real estate. Finally, there are some trendy new buildings going up in Nuevo Vallarta, and the restaurants, galleries and nightlife will follow shortly.  Once you find the right place, keep asking questions: What will it look like in ten years?  Are highways or other development projects planned for the future?  Where are the schools, churches, shopping facilities?  Are there homeowner fees for maintenance of common areas?  If so, how much are they and when are they paid?  Are all the utilities in and paid for?  What does the developer have left to do?   Also, if you are purchasing in a new Puerto Vallarta real estate development, continue checking my blog posts on things to consider before purchasing.  Good luck and good searching!

I have edited and updated a few article to include new tax laws and closing costs for the Yucatan Real Estate region.  These updates will compliment my article I posted last 14th of June.

To see this post please click here (Yucatan Real Estate Capital Gains Tax).

The updates for 2010 include a capital gains tax of 29% as well a regulation that home owners who qualify to avoid a percentage, or all of the ISR,  are allowed to exercise that privilege once every 5-years.

CORPORATION CAPITAL GAINS taxes are a little more complicated.   If you are holding title by utilizing a FOMC (Foreign Owned Mexican Corporation) it will be most beneficial to employ a sharp accountant.  They will counsel you in order to reduce your ISR obligations to the minimum possible when you sell your Mexico real estate.

As record snowfalls hit the eastern coast of the United States, many people have started daydreaming of being down in old warm and cozy Mexico. Some northerners are even taking steps to deal with all that excess cold weather by jumping on the plane and coming down as February is producing record number of passengers channeling through the aisles of the Cancun Airport. Even in the Mexico real estate arena, I can say that the attention is high and people are looking once again for warmer climate areas, and if the buyers have a tight budget, this is another reason for their high interest down here south of the border. Some are looking for cheap Mexico beachfront real estate, others are looking for non- tourist cities such as what you find in the Campeche real estate regions, and others are just looking for a place with quick and easy access by plane.

Today, in Playa del Carmen I was with a couple from Canada who are in the process of selecting their dream winter home. “We need a place now that we can run south to escape from those chilly winters” said the Mexico real estate buyers. “We plan to be down starting from November, December, and be flying back and forth throughout the spring” This is a typical requirement or usage for the homes being purchased by the average northern snowbird. And because the Canadian dollar has been quite strong in the past several months, many Canadians have been taking advantage of some fantastic opportunities from a slow 2009 season. “I am in the real estate investment game back in my home state, and from everything I have been studying about the Mexico real estate market, I think the next ten years will
continue to bringing many new buyers”

Cheap Mexico beachfront real estate are what many Americans and Canadians expect when first arriving to the popular cities such as Cancun, Mazatlan, Cabo San Lucas. And when they see the market prices, they become a little disappointed as if their dream home has been snatched away. “It depends on where you search for your property and at what stage of the investment cycle you want to come in” is a comment that Bob Mccain shares with many of the non-Mexican buyers. Bob has been working in the Playa del Carmen real estate market for nearly 10 years and has now been working on a new project on the gulf of Mexico in the Campeche real estate region. “each person has a different need, a different budget, and a different dream” he stated over the phone. “I am excited about this new region because of many reasons but most of all, these prices give many Americans and Canadians that have been hit with the financial crisis, a chance to get that waterfront property they’ve dreamed about.”

Apart from some amazing Mexico beachfront real estate properties, Campeche is also a very exciting city for downtown colonial style homes. Follow us or send some questions that you may have regarding this regions as I will be making a Campeche Real Estate discovery trip in the next several days. If you want to know what the average price per square foot, what are the local shopping centers, what activities occur in the region, what style of beaches, what can you fish. Contact us so we can look up the answers.

Linda Neil is one of our Top Brokers who has just written another informative piece regarding Mexico Real Estate issues such as taxes as seen below in her article called “Tax Obligations for foreigners in Mexico Death and Taxes…both are inevitable”.  Linda has been working in the La Paz real estate industry for over 30 years and has tremendous experience in the issues that most effect new non-Mexican property buyers. 

Whether a property owner or just the occasional visitor to the La Paz real estate region on the beautiful beaches of Mexico, everyone pays taxes, natives and foreigners.   Some of the taxes are hidden and others are not.   The purpose of this article is to touch on some of the important taxes levied and paid in Mexico.

            WHO COLLECTS TAXES:   The SAT (Servicio de Administracion Tributaria), also known as Hacienda, is the federal tax collector.   It collects all federal taxes such as the ISR (Income or Capital Gains) tax, the IVA (Added Value) tax, the IDE (Tax on Cash Deposits) and the IEPS (Special Tax on Production and Services).  Each state government has its own taxes such as the 2 to 3 percent tax on lodgings and tourism.   The municipal governments assess and levy taxes on real and personal properties.

            IVA TAX:   This is the Value Added Tax which is charged on goods and services.   The only exemptions are medicines and food.   Often this tax is INCLUDED in the price of food served in a restaurant, legal services, and the items purchased in a department or clothing store.   The business owner and tax resident is obligated to file a monthly declaration with Hacienda and pay the tax on earnings.   Credited against this tax are IVA taxes paid on goods and services acquired.  

            There is no IVA tax on the sale of vacant Mexico land or on the sale of residential dwellings.   The tax is levied on all commercial construction when it is sold or transferred, at the rate of 16% of the value of construction, regardless of where the property is located.  

            IVA tax is charged on lodgings, hotel rooms and furnished homes which are rented.

            As of January 1, 2010, this tax has been increased from 15% to 16% in the interior of the country and from 10% to 11% in the border zones.

            IEPS TAX:  This is the Special Tax on Products and Services which is a new tax for 2010.  It will cover certain internet and cable TV services, alcohol, cigarettes, and gaming.

            PROPERTY TAX;   This is a municipal tax with assessments on properties generally being made annually.   The tax can be paid in six installments (every two months) but probably should be paid in full within the first two months of the calendar year to obtain a discount.   Rates vary from area to area but are often far lower than U.S. or Canadian property taxes.

            ISR TAX;   Literally the Tax on Rents has been described as both an income tax and a capital gains tax.   It is complex and a subject of confusion.

            ON INCOME.   Any income generated from sources within Mexico, is taxable.   From business or salary, the rates are variable depending upon the amount of income received.

This is the end of Part I, and you will be able to see the finishing paragraphs in a separate article by the end of the week.

Mitch Keenan has been working in the Yucatan Real Estate market for nearly 15 years.  Below is an article that has been printed in various publications regarding Mexico real estate along the beachfront.  Many zones of Mexico, including the Yucatan areas along the Gulf of Mexico have been attracting the attention of many Americans and Canadians.  Beautiful beaches, warm tropical breezes, and these Mexico beachfront lots are selling for less than $100,000!  The first part of the article listed below.

Imagine living in a beach house, the ocean at your doorstep, in a tranquil, laidback fishing port, where you can buy the morning’s catch right at the dock. Then imagine that the house is a convenient half-hour from a major metropolis that offers big-city amenities, from gourmet shopping to an international airport. Now imagine that you paid less than $100,000 for all that…
Sound too good to be true? Bargain-priced beach property is getting harder to find. That’s why the Yucatan Gulf coast is so special.
 The Yucatan Gulf coast runs along the top of the Yucatan Peninsula from the towns of Chuburna and  Chelem east to Dzilam de Bravo, a distance of about 50 miles. For much of this coast, the easiest way to get there is to take the highway north from Merida to Progreso, and then head east or west from Progreso along the coast. The trip from Merida to Progreso takes 30 minutes.
 Progreso, with a population of about 35,500, is the largest town on this stretch of coast and an appealing destination. It’s the port for the Yucatan Gulf coast and it’s also a cruise ship stop.
Progreso is a bustling town, with a prosperous-looking downtown area and the relaxed ambience of a beach destination. It’s also the only place along this coast that might qualify as a “city”. The other towns along this coast are fishing villages, some of them small.
 The beach here is white sand, and in sunny weather there are usually swimmers and sunbathers. Seafood is plentiful and inexpensive. At restaurants like Los Flamingos -my local favorite- a medium-sized plate of ceviche costs about $7; the sea view is free.

Many people wonder of the type of Mexico retirement life would await them when they move down south of the border.  With a nice home in the Mexico real estate region, what activities and what areas can be explored for a new couple looking to experience a retirement in Mexico?   

Once you have purchased your Mexico home, and you have bought all the furniture, fixed some of the leaks, creaks, and details around the house, now is the time to start to explore and discover the surroundings.  Beaches are one of the popular attractions of many a Mexico retirement community.  There are thousands of beaches in Mexico.  Some beaches are well known and well mapped on guides, and others are hidden, virgin, not known except for a few locals.  Pack up the basket for sandwiches, beer, a barbecue.  Take the snorkel gears and bring the grandchildren.  Memorable outings that your family will remember for a life time.  Along with the natural beauties of the Mexico beaches are the amazing history and culture of this warm society.  The history goes back to pre-Hispanic years with the famous Aztec and Mayan civilizations.  Or you can also discover at museums and sites the Hispanic history of the Spanish conquering years in this country.  Read about the Cortez wars, the independence years, and the Pancho Villa revolution stories.  Visit hundreds of colonial towns with small cobble stoned roads, and zocalos in the center of town.  Or go site seeing, visiting ruins and pyramids with  exciting trips deep in the jungles and in the mountains for amazing excursions.  These trips can be quite exciting trips as some of these ruins have yet to be discovered or properly identified in the books of the museums and with the historians.  The Mayan culture has become very internationally popular over the last several years with the famous calendar and predictions of December of 2012.  This is the rumored end of the registered calendar life and some Mayans believe is when the planets are to aline causing global changes to the life on earth.  Hundreds and thousands of ruins and history to explore and to study with colleges and museums giving courses and guided trips through the regions to teach and help non-Mexican residents discover the marvels of these ancient people.  The exploring never seems to end and allows for years of learning experiences for your Mexico retirement plans in your new Mexico homes.
 

Along with discovering new sites, new attractions of the regions, many non-Mexicans have become very involved in the communities and organizations near to their Mexico Retirement homes.  “I found a child in a local store who was extremely blue and so I began talking with his mother to find out if the boy was ok” commented Lavonna an expat living in Playa delCarmen “the mother told me he had a difficult heart illness”. Lavonna decided to get involved and with the direct help from other visiting Americans and Canadians the child was placed on an airline to Michigan State University where a successful surgery was performed curing the little Mexican boy. 

“soon we created a non-profit organization called ANGEL NOTION and today there are more than 300 Canadian and American volunteers some who are year round non-Mexican residents and others who come for the winter.  But it is an incredibly gratifying organization full of friends where you can witness first hand the results of your volunteer and contributions.” 

Some retired expats get involved in the education and helping local people further their education.  With the wide spread access to internet throughout many small communities of Mexico, education programs can be easily mounted within organizations.  “I find the Mexican children extremely eager to learn more and really appreciate that someone is taking the time teach”  stated Elaine a retired international high school teacher.   She has been helping a local school with their programs and bringing support educational materials to open up the doors of opportunities for numerous young children and their families. 

 
A retirement in Mexico is full of incredible activities and options that will have you busy 365 days of the year.  The natural sites available for exploring, the man made attractions such as pyramids, cathedrals, old picturesque colonial towns.  Hundreds and thousands of years of history in the back yard in Mexico can create hobbyist out of anyone.  Many new retired couples have also realized that getting involved in the needs of the communities have brought the most gratifying sense of contribution and the recognition of “really being needed”.  It is a wonderful match.

I recently did a post on a condo hotel project in a gated community in my Playa del Carmen real estate region. There is another brand new beautiful complex that was constructed by the same developer in a dynamite location in the heart of downtown Playa del Carmen.  Built right on the beach, and with easy walking access to the 5th Ave which is the major tourist attraction, this project is very interesting because it is a landmark for the real estate in Playa del Carmen.  El Faro, or ‘The Lighthouse  had been a hotel previously and there was a large lighthouse structure maintained through the construction of this new condo hotel as you will see in photos below.

This is a very luxurious complex and one of the top Playa del Carmen condos that offers many great amenities such as direct beach access, sensational views of the Caribbean waters, lobby, elevators, underground parking, large infinito swimming pool with decks and lounge chairs and beds, a fine cuisine restaurant / beach club onsite called Wicky’s that offers inside and patio dining and more.

We have a couple outstanding resales and one of them is possibly the best situated units since it’s right smack on the oceanfront. The views don’t get better than this! It is a lovely 2 bedroom each with on suite bathroom, plus a office / den with a wrap around balcony providing unbeatable direct ocean views with top quality features throughout. Some features include: Marble flooring, granite countertops in the kitchen, European design light fixtures and fans, built-in wood closets, stainless steel appliances in kitchen, hurricane proof glass, air-conditioning in each room, and much more.

Here you can see more information and photos for this spectacular condo in resale in the Playa del Carmen real estate market.

Contact us for more details on this amazing complex.
