When exploring Yucatan Real Estate options, as a buyer you may notice that Mexico Land presents an wide variety of interesting possibilities. You may wonder, however, if buying land is the right choice for you. While there are definitely reasons to buy other property types in the Yucatan Peninsula's many thriving real estate areas, including Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Merida and the now up-and-coming Campeche Real Estate area, here are some of the main motivations for buyers to consider land purchases on the Yucatan Peninsula.

One is retirement. For those who are planning ahead to retirement a retirement in Yucatan's warm climate, and still have a few years to go, buying land to build your own home for the most relaxing years of your life is an excellent option. Soon-to-be retirees have been buying lots in places such as the town of Tulum, where AldeaZama provides a specific example of a rustic-modern, village-like setting. Another location which has been a choice for some people starting to plan for retirement is the coast of the state of Campeche, where one specific development is selling lots starting at $55,000 US; this area is an excellent option for those who need to plan their retirement on a smaller budget, but still want to enjoy a beachfront lifestyle. While some retirees prefer the convenience of a condo, land provides a real, and viable option for those planning ahead with some time to design and build.

Second, whether you are thinking of retiring or not, the idea of designing and having your own dream home built is appealing to many buyers. You may have looked at a lot homes for sale, and seen some great ideas, but you would prefer to do some "mixing and matching" in terms of design and ideas. Or perhaps, the ones you saw were just beyond your budget. Buying land and having a home built can often allow "bigger" dreams at a lower price. Whether you are imagining a beachfront home overlooking the ocean with a cool breeze, or a lot close to nature, where you can live in an environment-friendly community, such as those in Cozumel or Tulum, land options in Yucatan are numerous, attractive, and available at a wide range of prices.

Of course, land is always a favorite for investors, who can build a home to re-sell at a profit, or invest in commercial land for larger projects. The Yucatan Peninsula's established real estate areas, such as Cancun or Merida, have shown a solid history of profitable endeavors for investors. Land in the up-and-coming areas, such as Campeche, Tulum, or even Costa Maya about an hour south of Tulum, is available at lower prices and currently show a great deal of promise for growth.

Land buyers in the Yucatan, as in other places, need to consider several variables in their plans for their future home or project. One is the time factor; how long will you need to build your dream home and any other construction that is necessary? The other factor is the cost. You must consider the cost of building in your overall plans. Do you have these funds available now, or are you planning for the future? How sure is it that you will have these funds? Many times the management of land sale projects offer quality home building options at accessible prices. Make sure you investigate these factors, and plan them carefully to make sure that your Yucatan land buying experience will be the best experience possible. Finally, as in all real estate decisions, your best first step is to find a qualified, experienced and dedicated agent who will help guide you to the land purchase best for your situation.
