Welcome to Cozumel Real Estate !

The Cozumel real estate market is amazing. There is something magical about living on an island. If you include that the island is in the Caribbean turquoise blue waters then it is mesmerizing and magical. Add one more ingredient being that the island is within Mexico with their warm and spicy culture then you have a magical, mesmerizing and neighborly home. This is Cozumel.

The real estate market of Cozumel is influenced principally by the fact that we do have a limited inventory. The area is approximately 5 miles wide, and 15 miles long. Our Island is a 40 minute ferry ride from Playa del Carmen which is south of Cancun approximately 40 minutes. We do not have mountains and the Cozumel beaches on the east side are incredibly unforgettable. The west side of the island has waters that are famous world wide with scuba divers swearing to its beauty. Temperatures run from 80 degrees Fahrenheit in the winter up to 105 Fahrenheit in the summer.

A seaside boardwalk runs along the eastern side in the downtown real estate area of Cozumel. This is the heart of the island with the main square sitting back one block from the boardwalk filled with cafes and outdoor restaurants. Everything is within walking distance. Even the ferry docks that take you to the mainland is centrally located. You can move around the market place on a bicycle or scooter, or small automobile. On the southern part of the island we have an international airport that will take you whisking away to the footsteps of your principal home.

We are a small magical island that has a community with a big heart. You will soon be nodding and smiling and then chatting away with the neighbors of Cozumel. With my many years of experience in real estate, it will be my pleasure to help you locate your Cozumel property and make the transition into warm community.

Sincerely

Cozumel

Cozumel is the largest island on the Eastern side of Mexico. Various factors have direct factors that effect the real estate market over the past several years. It has the most visited port in regards to cruise ship tourists for example for all of the Americas. Located 40 minutes south of the Cancun international airport and another 40 minute ferry ride to the east of Playa del Carmen, Cozumel is a centrally locted suba diving capital of the world.

Cozumel real estate demand has increased with the introduction of its own international airport and direct flights from various cities of the USA and Canada. This has made the shuttles between Mexico and the home countries for the travelers and real estate owners very efficient. Many Cozumel property owners are able to fly in directly and be walking into their doorway of their Mexico home quite efficiently and practically. Cozumel Oceanfront properties are always high in demand, and with the island limiting property options, the pricing reflects these occurrences. Shopping is readily available and everyday goods and services are easily located within the community without the need to shuttle back to the mainland for products as you needed about five years ago. Cozumel also has a country club golf course, tennis courts, and wide variety of water sports. One Marina has been functioning and a new facility is under construction for an opening date planned very soon in the future. The retirement expat community has been growing continuously over the past five years and such figures are projected only to increase in the following decade.

Cozumel Real Estate News

Cozumel stands out from the majority of Mexico real estate since it is an island.  For some buyers considering Cozumel real estate, this may raise the concern of transportation to and from the island.  However, both international transportation and getting to and from the mainland are actually relatively easy processes. During the week of June 28 – July 4, 2010, 37 flights were scheduled to land in Cozumel, from national and international destinations, carrying a total of over 5,500 passengers.  For any Mexico real estate market whose prices are influenced by non-Mexican demand,  airports and flights are one of the top factors of influence.  This is great for the Cozumel real estate market.  Direct flights arrive from and leave for many North American destinations on a daily basis, including Atlanta, Houston, Chicago, Dallas, Charlotte, Toronto and many more.  The prices for direct flights are comparable to that of other beachfront destinations in Mexico, with a round trip to Dallas costing about $600.  Flights with stop overs can be found for as low as $400. Travel to and from the Mexico mainland is also made fairly easy.  The ferry to Playa del Carmen takes only about 45 minutes and leaves every hour on most days.  A one-way trip costs about $10.  Along the way, you can enjoy cold beer, snacks and often live music.  The ferry lands right next to Playa del Carmen's Fifth Avenue – the main tourist area – and to a taxi stand where you can get reasonable fares to many nearby locations. Direct flights from local airlines to nearby locations, such as Cancun and the beautiful colonial city of Merida, can also be found for very reasonable prices. While visiting all the beautiful areas on the Yucatan peninsula and other parts of the Mexico real estate region, it is certainly worthwhile, and will catch your interest, as you settle in Cozumel, you won't find that you're eager to get away anytime soon.  The beautiful nature, Mayan pyramid sites, the coral reef – which can be visited scuba diving – the oceanfront activities, such as snorkeling, sailing and fishing, will be enough to keep you busy, not to mention just relaxing on the beach, or in your dream home.

As the 21st century moves ahead, more and more property buyers are interested in sustainable development and construction, protecting natural surroundings, and conserving resources, which also helps to keep the bills low.  Cozumel real estate has been moving to meet this growing demand among U.S. and Canadian buyers, offering various real estate options which respect the island's beautiful nature in a variety of ways. The Cozumel real estate industry has had a long history of protecting the natural setting of the island, which has also been one of the key factors which continues to draw tourists and real estate buyers to the island.  Everything from exploring the lush, green jungle to diving in the Mesoamerican reef, for which the island has become famous, are among the key features which attract people to Cozumel. Real estate buyers have several different options for sustainable focused properties.  Ecological lots in the island's interior are available in several communities where home construction leaves the majority of the natural forest standing, integrating nature quite directly into the community.  Many of these lots are available for very accessible prices. On the other end of the spectrum are high-end luxury condominiums and homes which also include the natural flora in the modern design of the development; many newer developments also include resource-efficient fixtures, saving water and electricity, both directly and through design reducing heat and optimizing air flow to cut down on the bill from the air-conditioner.  While the bills already tend to be low in Cozumel, this kind of efficiency can add even more significant savings. Many buyers choose Cozumel because of its nature, and are eager to participate in conserving this nature.  While many of the prime Mexico real estate destinations have similar focuses, Cozumel's history of one of the few communities in this part of Mexico constantly inhabited since ancient Mayan times makes the preservation of this long-standing close contact of civilization on pure nature a special situation. -Thomas Lloyd TOPMexicoRealEstate.com; Mexico's Leading Network of Specialists for Finding and Purchasing Mexican Properties Safely

In the final months of the summer,  the Mexican Caribbean island saw an increase of cruise ship activity which the local  Cozumel real estate industry and several related businesses have been able to capitalize.  Cozumel’s economy is based mostly in cruise ship tourism.  While the swine flu travel advisory in the spring and summer of 2009 brought many obstacles to many Mexico real estate areas and their businesses, the number of tourist visitors in Cozumel have been increasing steadily since that time. 

  In July, after several weeks of cancellations of cruise ship visits, the Cozumel port opened up their doors receiving from three upto six cruise ship visits per day.  Most of the cruises arrive to Puerta Maya pier in Cozumel.  Cruise ship lines such as the Carnival Valor normally arrive around 6:30 am, and leave near to 4 pm; the Carnival Conquest have been arriving near to 9 am, and staying on the island till the 6 pm mark.    The estimated total amount of passengers arriving have been between 7,000 and 9,000.   During this past summer, the well-known “Disney Magic” with a capacity of 2500 passengers have been arriving on a regular basis.  Although many people arrive to the Cozumel island by local ferry from the Playa del Carmen tourist base, the majority of the visitors arrive via cruises.  Significant amount of activity, and economic movement, to the shopping area near the wharf and downtown are the main zones that profit from the cruise ship agendas.   A more consistent arrival of cruises to the island means a stronger economic situation for the Cozumel real estate market.  Keep in touch with the TOPMexicoRealEstate   NETWORK, "Your Expert    Property-Finders," to get information related to Cozumel and the Cozumel real estate market.
