I have always had the image of the water on the Gulf of Mexico being the same as what I see off of the west coast of Florida.  I even heard and read from some people that the beaches in Campeche Mexico were ugly because of the high concentration of the oil industry operations off of Ciudad del Carmen coast line in the southern corner of the state.  But, the Campeche Beachfront real estate that I visited ripped all of my previous assumptions!   These were definitely some of the most desirable Mexico real estate properties that I have visited.

As soon as we drove over the summit of a large hill as we approached Champoton driving in from the north from the capital,  we caught a glimpse of a completely different type of water shades and beaches.  This was turquoise green, transparent water, shades of green tones for approximately 300 meters on white beaches.  Once we passed Champoton (sea food heaven which I will chat about in a later post), we stopped at a l little beach side restaurant and walked on the sand.  SEASHELLS GALORE.  In less than 10 minutes my kids had ran out and gathered about 15 – 20 shells which we never see on the Mexican Caribbean.

The Campeche beaches with white sands run for approximately for a 60 mile stretch south of Champoton till the Isla Aguada.  Most of the Campeche real estate on the beach is rocky except for this 60 mile stretch.

On the backside of these Campeche beachfront lots you will find a lagoon.  The lagoon on the back side connects from Sabancuy water entrance south till the Bay of Terminos.
Nice calm waters and hundreds of miles of waterfront for exploring. Campeche beachfront lots have varying sizes but the majority have 20 meters of beach frontage.  These go back deep with some of the lots having at least 900 meters depth until you reach the back side.  Homes in the area are normally designed to open up onto the beautiful gulf of Mexico and beaches.  There is a 3 story height build restriction and much attention is placed rightfully so in protecting the wild life and natural settings of the zone.

In the past three years, a large project developed by a Spanish group has invested nearly 200 million dollars.  This project is estimated to begin deliveries of their residences in the summer of 2010.  With a Jack Nicklaus golf course and 115 slip marina, it promises to bring much publicity and attention to the region for the following decade.   In the two nearby fishing villages private money is following suit by making some investments to the area preparing for the inflow of new tourists and winter home owners.   Companies such as Chedraui and a private hospital group.  Home depot, Walmart, Mega Comercial Mexicana are all other companies with plans for near future openings in the areas.  Along the coastal highway, we saw men and machinery busy at work with government funded projects placing water pipes and tubing underground.  New bridges and a new by pass are underway to divert the traffic of people driving to Villa Hermosa and other northern destinations away from having to drive through Ciudad del Carmen and along the coastal road.

The Campeche real estate properties along the coast line  that we visited were a surprise of the natural beauty that exists on this hidden little corner of the Gulf of Mexico.  Turquoise green waters and beaches lined with palm trees are what many people dream about for their winter homes.  With large amounts of private and public money being injected to the zone over the past three years, the opportunities on waterfront Mexico real estate is growing on a monthly basis.  If you want to read an article on some information of the CAMPECHE REAL ESTATE market in the capital click here.

The progress has been tremendous inside the stunning Grand Coral gated community and this post will show that pre-construction projects are thriving in the Playa del Carmen real estate market.

Previously reviewed several months ago in another blog, Mareazul these playa del carmen condos, are described as oceanfront and luxurious and are an amazing part of the large puzzle that makes the entire Grand Coral project. The Nick Price designed PGA tourament golf course is well underway and one very intriguing part I learned this week, they have installed a system that gives the lagoons / lakes they are creating a crystal blue affect, which reminds me of some of the breath-taking mountain lakes up in Canada. Here are a couple photos of the lake and progress on hole 14.

  Mareazul is really cruising along and the changes are quite distinct. The pool is really taking shape and looks just about ready. The exteriors of the almost all condos have been completed, and most of the plunge pools are set up on the ground floor units. They are working on the surrounding wall which will provide the complex with total privacy with the main access being through the motor lobby. Here are some photos to illustrate:

 Another fantastic project that is scheduled to start construction shortly is the Nick Price Residences.  They will have the priviledge of enjoying all the amenities of the Club House, as well as the beach clubs that will be accomplished over time in this community.

One of the highly attractive features in both of these projects in the developer financing. Only 30% required and they will provide financing at very comparable rates (Libor +2). There are very few projects in Playa del Carmen that can offer direct seller financing at such amazing rates.

Ask us about the turn-key guaranteed income setup in Mareazul!

3. Mareazul Condos, Largest Oceanfront of Playa del Carmen Real Estate

Exciting news for the residents and future buyers in the Coco Beach Zone of the north Playa del Carmen real estate market.  There is a new cool and hip beach club / bar that is open to the public. It is called Anibal Royal and has a very cool appearance and ambience. I decided to take a break and venture down yesterday to have a peak, and I ended up really enjoying the atmosphere. I ordered a smoothie and ceviche, which both were excellent, while soaking up the sensational breeze and views of the Caribbean ocean. The staff were super friendly and courteous and the music was grooving from the dj in the booth. 

  Coco beach is mainly a residential area with many of the new Playa del Carmen condos being introduced in this area.  Previously people would have to walk several minutes to Kool or Mamitas beach if they wanted this similar type of ambience. This stylish place will operate as a beach club /restaurant during the day hours and night club in the evening.

   You can either enjoy the atmosphere by the bar,  relax in the wooden lounge chairs closer to the beach or chill in one of the hammocks. The site is full of unique and delightful things, for example, the washrooms are litte huts and the doors open like doors you would find on a submarine!

 With the Mexico real estate market adjusting to the economic pressures, there are some great buys going on in that zone. Here is an example of a 2 bedroom condo resale, original price was $379,000 and now reduced to $329,000! Fully furnished and ready to use. Check here for more details.

Next time you visit Playa, be sure to pass by the Coco beach area and enjoy some time at this beach club!  And if you need help looking for Playa del Carmen homes or other properties for purchasing, please be sure to call me.

Villas Tranquilidad is the answer and will offer the best in luxury and comfort that will be set in a secure Mexico gated community.

There are just 6 luxury villas and they will share a common pool and palapa. Located just a few mins north of Playa del Carmen, one major benefit is quick easy access to and from the Cancun airport. It is also snug in between 2 gated very high end resort communities, one which has held the Mayakoba PGA golf tournament in the last few years. The other is the Grand Coral which has a Nick Price PGA course currently under construction.

The villas are currently in construction and moving very quickly. The developer is Canadian, well rooted here in the area, and has invested in several condos in Playa del Carmen as well as in land in Tulum with plans for future development there.

Here are some of the features of this latest Mexico real estate property:

• Each one of these Riviera Maya villas will have 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The entire 3rd floor will consist of the master bedroom with walk-in closet, large bathroom and 2 balconies.
• Kitchen equipped with granite counter tops, stove and hood, fridge. Washer and dryer included
• 2 parking spaces per villa
• Air-conditioning, mini split style and ceiling fans in all the bedrooms and living room

This is an excellent opportunity to get in early as they only require 10% down payment and the remainder upon completion which is expected to be February 2010. There aren’t many projects in Playa that offer such a low down payment. Currently offering a 25% pre-sale discount from the full price of $260,000.

Another bonus, the developer is offering a VIP access to the nearby beach club in Grand Coral. This is one of the most gorgeous beaches in the area!

I took a quick peak to see how some of the Playa del Carmen condos were coming along in our area. There's one in particular that really has caught my attention for a couple reasons. The first was how unique and appealing this looks from the street and also how swiftly the building has come up and is very near to completion. From the developers of these 2 other great projects that were just completed in the Coco Beach area: Haab and Deva, another impressive condo complex in the constantly transforming Little Italy zone. Here you can see the actual building progress photo I just took in comparison to the exterior rendering.

What makes this different from the other condos in the Playa del Carmen real estate market Well the most impressive part, well definitely the fantastic panoramic views of the ocean, but also, the semi-olympic swimming lane on the rooftop, , which is 1 of 2 pools that will be shared with only 9 units in total. There is underground parking providing 1 space per owner, elevators to the rooftop and a commercial space on the ground level. If you are searching for a new condo or for a Playa del Carmen home away from home, this is a hot option you should consider.

All the condos are 2 bedrooms and 2 bathroom with high quality finishes throughout. Each comes with a spacious balcony and a jacuzzi tubThey range in size from 112 m2 (1200 sq.ft) up to 140 m2 (1500 sq.ft) total areaFor more photos and info check the listing here.

Why use a Mexico buyers broker

With pre-construction Cancun condominiums popping up on every corner there is a huge variety of options in the current marketplace. But with so many options to choose from it is sometimes difficult to sift out the one perfect deal that is worth a second look. Not only is the abundance of options overwhelming, but it can create a risk to the inexperienced buyer here in the Cancun real estate market.

So do you need a Mexico Real Estate Agent to represent you

Many buyers think that if they deal directly with a developer they will get a better price since the developer does not have to pay a commission. However, your chance of sitting face to face with the developer is about zero to none. You will be attended by the developer s sales staff who will receive the commission in place of a broker that would be representing you. There is always a commission paid, whether to your broker or the in-house sales staff. Of course the in-house sales staff is not working for you. Your broker is the one who can help make sure you get the best deal and are protected. Even if a developer has a good reputation, he will still be thinking of himself first, not you. So it is a good idea that he knows you have a broker looking out for your best interests.

In the current Mexico real estate market there is so much available product. A huge variety of options is great for you, the prospective buyer, as you can choose the property that offers you the most for your money. Some developers have lowered prices so it is an attractive time to buy However, this overabundance of projects means that there is a risk that some of them will not be successful with sales and construction may never be finished. This represents a huge risk to the buyer. Knowing which developers have an established reputation and track record is crucial to the success and security of your investment. A good broker who knows the area and the developers will help you determine the projects that represent a safe investment.

Looking for a great Mexico real estate investment or an excellent retirement spot Well, a 2nd phase of residences has just been released in pre-sale, which will be part of the same community where these amazing Playa del Carmen beachfront condos are currently being constructed at MareazulThis gated community offers a Nick Price designed golf course, which is progressing well in construction, and these condos with the same name, Nick Price Residences, are something to look forward to. One thing I found very appealing is that 75% of this entire master plan will be kept as green areas including lakes and ecological reserves Many Playa del Carmen real estate projects have the opposite of 25% green and remaining areas are constructed upon so I found this a very welcome feature.

This current phase is part of an overall bigger project that will be released in the future. To be situated next to the Club House, there are 123 units in 3 buildings of 4 storeys each: A, B and C ranging from very spacious 1-3 bedrooms with the similar high quality finishings you will find in Mareazul condos. All units have fabulous views to the golf course and the buildings share a rooftop common areas that will have partial ocean views.

The project will begin construction by the end of this year and is scheduled to be completed in 24 months.

Here are some of the attractive features the Club House has to offer residents:

• Hoyo 19 bar
• Gym
• Spa
• Swimming pool
• Pro-shop
• Tennis Courts
• Restaurant / bar
• Snack bar
• Bathrooms with dressing rooms and lockers

And of course they will have access to the some of the most magnificent beaches around!

They are currently offering great payment incentives and the same developer financing as the other projects they offer Contact us for all the details!
