Brokers

Active Rain has put out an infographic showing results of a survey of member real estate professionals in the U.S., asking them about their confidence in the market for 2013.

A few highlights from the infographic are:

• 84% of those surveyed felt that values would increase during 2013 – that’s up 133% from 2012
• 84% feel that sales will increase
• 74% believe that the local economy will improve

This is good news both for the U.S. and for Mexico real estate; with a healthier market in the U.S. and better housing values, buyers will both feel more confidence to buy a vacation or retirement property in Mexico, and have better access to more substantial loans.  The majority of buyers from the U.S. will take a loan against their current property and make a cash purchase in Mexico.

Texas and California are the hotspots.

I would say U.S. brokers should be expecting many more of their clients to be looking southward during over the next year.
