As summer heats up south of the border, the Cancun real estate listings prices are hot with great beach front bargains. Since the US economy is still very weak, sales have been slow in the Mexico real estate market. For those buyers serious about purchasing in Cancun, now is the ideal time to take advantage of the super deals currently on the market. We are seeing great beach front condos at the lowest prices of the year as many buyers have made reductions to entice buyers.
Because the slow market conditions make it more risky to purchase Cancun condos in pre-construction phases, these beach front bargains are a sure bet as they are already completely constructed. And most are being offered at lower prices than the new pre-construction projects. Many owners that need to sell quickly are pricing their units lower than the price they paid. However, most are not in foreclosure situations as in the US. Since financing has historically been difficult to obtain and is quite costly, most properties were paid in cash. Most of this cash came from refinancing US held assets and because of the weak economy in the US, many of these buyers have now found themselves in difficult financial situation.
Although we are experiencing a downturn in property sales, the future of Cancun s real estate market is bright since the destination has so much to offer. It is the hub of the Mexican Caribbean and offers such a diverse variety of attractions, activities and entertainment. There is something to fit every lifestyle. For golf enthusiasts there are impressive golf courses, for boat lovers there are world class marinas. And for those who enjoy water activities, there is snorkeling, diving, deep sea fishing, wind surfing, kite boarding, wave runners and much more. Adventure seekers will enjoy the archeological sites, cenote diving and snorkeling in Akumal or maybe a visit to the colonial city of Merida. And then there are those that just want to bask in the warm Mexican Caribbean sunshine on a white pristine beach. With all the Cancun has to offer, this destination will always have great real estate growth potential.
For those serious about buying in the Mexican Caribbean, the timing couldn t be better. When the US economy rebounds, then the Cancun real estate market will rebound too, which means prices will start to work their way back up.
