Is the Mexico Retirement<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0industry\u00c2\u00a0a niche market that can help the Mexico real estate <\/a>market come back?<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

With millions of baby boomers reaching retirement age every day, the market for a lovely place to live with the security and services required is growing exponentially.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"Many baby boomers no longer want the five bedroom home and quarter to half acre home in the suburbs.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Nor does the luxurious and prestigious home on the beach seem as attractive as it once was.\u00c2\u00a0 Too much work! \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Too much upkeep! And too much money!\u00c2\u00a0 Today\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s couple reaching retirement age is looking for an interesting and inviting place to live that promises outstanding value and something different!<\/p>\n

\n

All this and more was covered recently in a\u00c2\u00a0conference in Mexico City.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The Mexican Association for Assistance to Retirees.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Over 400 industry leaders, developers and those looking for some answers met at this conference in Mexico City to discuss parameters and new strategies for the\u00c2\u00a0Mexico retirement industry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many are coming to recognize that Mexico retirement options are very feasible with its lower cost of living, culture and tradition for caring, with outstanding medical services, may be the new place for Americans and Canadians looking for retirement.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Perhaps Mexico homes<\/a> and this country will no longer be viewed just as a vacation in an exotic place!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

When the crisis really hit the U.S., many buyers of Mexico property left the market.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Their investment funds came from the stock market, 401 Ks and home equity.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 These sources obviously dried up and the resort and vacation market hit bottom.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Prices in the Mexico real estate market, however, have not necessarily come down in the resort areas since many sellers do not have bank loans on their properties and are in a position to hold on to their properties until that market returns.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These properties may not sell soon, however.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 There seems to be a feeling among those who suffered reverses in their portfolios that this time they will look for quality, value and security rather than plunk down money on an emotional and perhaps exotic purchase.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There is a delayed demand \u00e2\u20ac\u201c many of those who left the property market in 2007 and 2008 did so because they were suffering devastating losses in U.S. investments.\u00c2\u00a0 Now that those markets are beginning to recuperate, it seems that the home or condominium for vacations, rentals, active retirement will be more attractive if of high quality, easily accessible and not exceed 200,000. to 300,000. USD in price. Also very desirable is the development that integrates the Mexican culture into its overall concept such as those found in the La Paz Real Estate<\/a> area. The home away from home of yesteryear, insulated from the Mexican culture, may not be quite as attractive as it used to be.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"\"What may be sought after in this new Mexico retirement market is the development that offers Active Living and Aging in Place.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 In other words, independent living modules, either separate homes or condominiums within a secure community with many activities available either on site or in the community: such as biking, hiking, fitness, swimming, crafts classes, music activities.\u00c2\u00a0 These activities are geared to the mature active adult who has always wanted time to do these things and can live independently.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Within the same community, however, are medical facilities, and increased services available such as the preparation of meals, home visits and so forth.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 Different packages of services are available to fit the variouef levels and requirements and can be purchased from a hospitality company operating the development.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These independent living units can either be purchased or leased.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 The move to assisted living will focus on \u00c2\u00a0a more institutional environment which features everything from meal preparation to intensive care.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Under consideration at present in the U.S. government, is an initiative to permit Medicare benefits to extend to care received in Mexico. \u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0Since health care costs are substantially less in Mexico for the same level of care, both the U.S. government and the patients will benefit.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In all cases, the successful Active Living to Assisted Care development will require excellent access to health facilities, airports for quick access by loved ones, and outstanding communications systems in the community.\u00c2\u00a0\u00c2\u00a0 There are perhaps a dozen cities in interior Mexico which may fit the bill for this new focus on sales to the foreign market.
