A Mexico mortgage has not been a common tool used by real estate investors nor by residential buyers in the past here in the Mexican market. It was not until President Fox’s administration during 2002 – 2006 were new laws and regulations introduced to help financial institutions offer home loans to millions of Mexican families. In 2005 loans for non-Mexicans purchasing property in Mexico also became available. Americans and Canadians investing or purchasing second and retirement homes, and other real estate in Mexico now had alternative financial resources.
This morning, Mr. Jose Pascual Director of International Markets for Compass bank invited TOP Mexico Real Estate to review projections of the markets for 2010 and 2011. The focus of the discussion was the American economy for the next several years and how this affects the non-Mexicans searching for investments in the Mexico real estate market. The recovery in the United States has already begun. It is estimated that such recovery will not be fast, but it will be a solid recovery given that the market is extremely diverse and adaptable. Interesting figures to review are the projected growths for 2010 in various markets.
Asia                        5.8%
Latin America    4.6%
USAÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â 3.0%
Europe                  0.7%
The positive note of a slow and solid recovery is that inflation will have less upward pressure. In regards to the Mexico mortgages, keeping a steady inflation rate should also help keep loan interests at lower figures making this option… quite interesting.
Now due to the financial crisis that hit the American market, many people lost a great amount of household wealth. 17.4 trillion dollars of net worth were lost within the years of the crisis and left the consumption curve at a sharp decrease. So do the next few years look bleak for Mexico Real Estate?  No.  There are actually some extremely good investment opportunities in the Mexican market. Many Americans are re-adjusting their investment portfolios and are moving capital south into new developing regions which now include Mexico amongst their top choices whereas five and ten years ago, their options were limited to places such as Florida, Arizona and other American national territories. (see the projected growth in Latin America at a robust 4.6%)  There has been a decrease in liquidity. And the message that Mr. Pascual shared, “With our financing programs for the Americans and other Non-Mexicans , we can be the financial Gap to reach the newly budding real estate opportunities in Mexico.”
