Finding a Dream Home in Mexico

A lot of people ponder the possibility of making their dream home in Mexico but think that it is too difficult or are put off by the seeming language barrier. Thankfully, the reality of finding your dream home in Mexico is somewhat easier than you might think.

There are a variety of dream homes available to match a diversity of budgets, styles, and luxury pursuits in Mexico. If you are looking for your dream home in Mexico, all you need to do is some research, locate the right broker, and follow your gut. The following steps will help start you on your way to finding your dream home in Mexico.

Makes Sure the Location Matches your Lifestyle

Before you buy anything, you need to determine what type of dream home and environment best suits you. This means you must decide how big your home needs to be and what type of weather you are willing to tolerate all year. One big plus about Mexico is the moderate temperatures. So, the climate will feel either like spring or summer in specific locations, and you don’t have to worry about winter weather if you choose intelligently. Also, keep in mind the type of activities you like to do in your community. Do you like to fish? Go golfing? Dining out? Go Salsa Dancing? Shop at farmers’ markets, etc.? These are some of the things you should consider while deciding where you want to reside.

For example, Nuevo Vallarta in Riviera Nayarit, Puerto Vallarta and Cabo San Lucas are ideal spots for those who like the finer things in life: art galleries, farmer’s markets, vibrant expat neighborhood, diving, whale watching, fine gourmet restaurants, and luxurious golf courses.

Find a Good Real Estate Agent you Like

Locate an established real estate agent with great references, and find out if the agent is a member of the Asociación de Profesionales Inmobiliarios, A.C (AMPI). An AMPI real estate agent in Mexico will be highly familiar with the pros and cons of getting a home in Mexico and should be able to provide information on new real estate projects and houses that are for sale. Your agent will help you successfully close the sale and assist you with the particulars involved in buying your dream home in Mexico.

Visit First

Very few people will buy a property without having seen it, unless you are purchasing bricks and mortar for your investment portfolio rather than to live in. A try and buy visit is a good way to simulate the experience of living in the communities you are considering for your Mexican dream home. A few of the property developers will grant permission for you to reside at the residence temporarily so you can get a feel of the property before making a final decision to buy.

Watch the Media

Scan local newspapers and subscribe to real estate newsletters to locate currently available properties.

Trust your Instincts and follow your heart

And last but not least, always trust your instincts when deciding to buy your dream home. Pay attention to your suspicions and ask for clarification when you are uncertain about certain property particulars. Try not to get caught up in hard sell deals because you will recognize your dream home as soon as you step foot into it.

Enjoy Luxury Full and Fractional Deeded Property in Banderas Bay

Revel in the beauty of luxury full and fractional deeded real estate in Banderas Bay, Mexico. You can now take ownership of properties either in full or in fractional deeded shares for the best high end properties in Banderas Bay. You no longer will have to worry about making a reservation when you own a piece of this luxury beach destination in Mexico.

Own a property at Villa La Estancia Residences for just two months, a season or maybe you wish to be able to visit any time you like throughout the year. No matter whether you choose full or fractional deeded property, your investment is for an entire lifetime and beyond at Villa La Estancia, just like any bricks and mortar investment. The equity that you hold will be all yours to either rent out to others, sell, or live in as much as you want.

Fractional Deeded Property in Banderas Bay

Even though it can be easy to realize what the responsibilities and advantages are relating to owning a second home, there is a bit of confusion on what fractional deeded property means. To begin with, it should not be confused with residence club memberships and timeshares, although there are similarities. If you own a fractional asset of a property, you hold the deed for this fraction. For Villa La Estancia this can be either 1/8 or ¼. This purchase becomes part of your own estate that you have for life and can be left in a will.

Consider Villa La Estancia Residences for Luxury Living in Banderas Bay

Strike a compromise between the convenience of renting and buying a second home with fractional deeded property ownership. A big difference exists in comparison to renting – you will not have to pay a landlord. The same way as you would with a full ownership, you are able to rent, sell, include in a will, or donate the property. Your investment also has a chance to appreciate.

Will I Be a Good Candidate for a Fractional Ownership?

Do you absolutely love Banderas Bay, including Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta? If so, you may be a perfect candidate for a property investment there. Owning a second (or third or fourth) home, even a fractional deeded property means that you can return as often as you wish and live your dream. People who want to buy a residence overseas yet who may only visit it a couple of times each year will benefit the most from fractional purchases. Also, individuals who would like to give living in Banderas Bay a try before they commit to owning the residence outright and people who want to have ownership of a luxury property will be able to benefit.

Top Family Beaches in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta

Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta offer great beaches that you should not miss when you spend your vacations or choose to live in Banderas Bay, Mexico. The beaches in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta provide the most picturesque views, with cool blue waters and yellow sand. There are many beaches that are perfect for swimming as well as beaches that have shallow waves where supervised children and families can enjoy the waters and go frolicking on the shorelines.

The beach at Villa La Estancia, called Nuevo Vallarta beach, is one of the most beautiful in Banderas Bay and stretches for miles. The water here is relatively shallow for playing in the waves and body boarding, and the sweeping coastline is great for walking with a partner or running in the morning or in the early evening out of the midday sun. Sometimes, you will see turtles arrive to the beach to lay eggs and dolphins jumping in the distance.

Some beaches to the north of Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta have gigantic waves where surfing can be truly pleasurable and challenging. Banderas Bay’s wide coastline is ideal for many outdoor activities like beach volleyball, frisbee throwing, running and camping. Don’t limit yourself by visiting just one beach; there are many of them guaranteed to make you smile.

Besides your beach at Villa La Estancia Residences, here is a list of the top family beaches in Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta that you can visit:

Sayulita Beach

About half an hour’s drive from Villa La Estancia, you will find Sayulita, the coolest and hippest beach in the area. It offers more than just a gorgeous beach, but an active tropical lifestyle that would blow you away. It is a surfer’s paradise, with huge waves as well as areas safe for learning to surf. It is teeming with world class surfers and surf shops abound. But it is not just surfers who can have a good time in Sayulita; it boasts of a very wide beach with restaurants and bars offering services.

What makes Sayulita truly special aside from a wonderful beach life is the different environment that you can experience. There are restaurants where you can gorge on Mexican food and delicacies, as well as a farmer’s market on Fridays. You will also find a number of beachwear designer stores and signature shops that will satisfy your shopping cravings and make you think of San Francisco in the late 60s / 70s. Lastly, don’t miss the nightlife for a bohemian night out.

Punta Mita Beach at the Anclote

North of Nuevo Vallarta, you will find Punta Mita, a laid back, serene place to enjoy a day at the beach. This beach is more reminiscent of a mediterranean beach resort, an ideal hideaway from the boisterous and clogged city life. Relaxation and peace can be achieved here, erasing the hassles and pressures of life. Get a sling chair, sip your favorite cocktail and feel the tranquility of its air while treating yourself to a sumptuous dinner of fresh marlin or grilled tuna.

Although Punta Mita is a relatively small and quiet beach, there are cozy restaurants, stores and surf schools that will heat up your stay, offering a unique choice for your vacation or day trip. Punta Mita is the best for people watching and soaking up a totally different atmosphere that will energize and invigorate any listless soul. Shallow and blessed with marine life like colorful corals and different fish species, its waters are ideal for snorkeling and is a feast for any snorkeler or scuba diver’s eyes. Watch out for starfish and squid.

Camarones Beach, Puerto Vallarta

One of Puerto Vallarta’s most popular beaches. It is located on the North side of the Malecon. It has a wide beach and a long stretch of shoreline that can host a large number of visitors. Order and safety are a priority; lifeguards are all over the area during the busy seasons of summer. People who have a knack for tasting tropical delicacies would surely love this place. Vendors that sell fish, shrimps, fruits and other delicious snacks is a sure hit for hungry appetites.

Because of its wide shores, active bodies who are into beach volleyball and other outdoor activities are an instant shoot at Camarones Beach. You could work up a sweat by competing in beach running or try frisbee throwing. There are still a lot more you can do at this beach resort that would result in complete family fun and entertainment.

It is not the most sophisticated beach in Puerto Vallarta, but here you will really see how local Mexican’s enjoy the beach, especially if you go on Sundays.
