Local Fishermen Share Knowledge

The school’s program will use multidisciplinary learning methods to teach the art of fishing. For starters, students will learn how ancient fishermen were able to fish using a bottle, wood, and a yoyo as fishing equipment. All ages are accepted at the school so children and adults can take classes. Also, many of the area’s best local fishermen have agreed to share their professional knowledge about fishing with students. Many local businesses will be supporting the PV sportfishing school as well. Once a student progresses and learns the basics, the students will then start fishing on the beach. Once they have mastered the required skills, they will be able to go fishing at sea.

Would you like to participate in the free fishing tournament? Registration for the fishing tournament will be held on Monday’s, Wednesday’s, and Fridays from 8:00am to 3:00pm on the Malecon boardwalk in front of the Bodeguita del Medio.

In Mexico, one of the most popular real estate options in 2022 is a hotel-condo concept property. The hotel-condo property is perfect for a vacation home or retirement home if you want to live full time in the country. In Puerto Vallarta, there are many new developments under construction. The options are literally endless as it will depend on the location you prefer, the amount of bedrooms, and the price.

Single Family Homes

Next, single family homes in Puerto Vallarta is another popular real estate option in Banderas Bay. There is one major difference about single family houses in Mexico and that is the lot size. In Mexico, the lot sizes are very small compared to single family homes in other countries. Some single family houses will have neighbors sharing walls, too. There are single family houses that are older in some of the Puerto Vallarta neighborhoods that are close to the beaches, restaurants, and bars. In general, single family homes in PV are older and they have the traditional Mexican charm that many people like. However, they may need a lot of work and renovations due to the age of the house. In some of the newer neighborhoods there are single family homes that are bigger and they usually are in a gated community with 24 hour security. Sadly, most newer neighborhoods are not as close to the beaches, restaurants, shopping, and bars.

Timeshare Ownership

Timeshare ownership is another option if you want to enjoy the experience of having a vacation home in Puerto Vallarta. Timeshare ownership is also known as a vacation club. A timeshare owner will prepay for their future vacations by locking in the low rates that they are today. There are so many benefits to being a timeshare owner. You will get to enjoy all the amenities and services at the resort, and it feels like coming home when you return to use your vacation unit each year. You will need to invest and pay maintenance fees and dues, but this is an excellent option for people who don’t want to spend months traveling.

Real Estate Terminology

When you are trying to decide about buying real estate, there are many things you need to consider so your decision is a wise one. For starters, are you asking yourself where you should purchase a vacation home? A very popular choice for many people that want to buy a vacation home is Mexico.

There are real estate terms that you should know whether you are purchasing a vacation home or a home full-time in Mexico. Read below to learn more about real estate terminology before you buy a vacation home in Mexico.

Real Estate Terminology – Terms You Need to Know 

  • As-Is: When purchasing a home, there are some homes that are sold “as-is” or with requesting repairs options. The “as-is” phrase means that the seller does not want to do any repairs on the home or provide a credit off the price. However, the buyer can decide to purchase the home as it is and depending on the repairs that need to be done, or they can wait to see the results after the home inspection has been done.
  • Appraisal: An appraisal is the value of a property that is done by a person that is authorized. An appraisal is usually required before any real estate purchase, especially for insurance, taxes, and loans. To get an accurate appraisal, the professional will review properties that are similar that have been sold recently. The square footage of the home, bedroom numbers, bathroom numbers, and the age of the property will help determine the real estate appraisal value.
  • Listing Agent & Buyer’s Agent: A listing agent will represent the seller of the property and the buyer’s agent will represent the buyer. A buyer’s agent can also be called the purchasing agent, too. They will assist the buyer in finding appropriate properties in the price range and pay attention to the buyer’s preferences for a home.
  • Closing: The closing is also known as a settlement, and this is the last step with purchasing real estate. When it is closing day, it means the buyer is the official owner of the property.
  • Days on Market (DOM): Days on Market or DOM is the number of days the real estate property has been listed until it is sold. The difference between DOM and Cumulative Days on Market Days can sometimes vary.
  • Due Diligence: Due diligence is the time period from when the purchaser and/or investor access the property that they are interested in buying. During that time, they will receive a full disclosure about the real estate property’s facts before completing the purchase with the seller.
  • Escrow Holder: An escrow agent is a third party that is neutral during any real estate transaction. The escrow holder will be holding the funds along with any assets until both the seller and buyer are satisfied with the purchase agreement. Once all have agreed with any obligations, then the funds will be released to the seller and the sale is closed.
  • Homeowners Association (HOA): A homeowner’s association or HOA is the organization that will manage the property, and this usually occurs with condos, gated communities, or a subdivision. The HOA will have their own rules. Once someone purchases a property, they will become part of the HOA and will be required to pay HOA dues or fees.
