"10 Reasons To Prosper In 2010"
We argued for much of 2009 that the time was becoming opportune to buy real estate in Mexico. Well now, at the change of the year, the moment is really right and we'd like to share 10 reasons you can prosper in 2010 with Mexico real estate. 1) Exchange Rates The dollar rose about 30% against the peso in 2009. You'll now get around 13 Mexican pesos to your greenback in 2010. This makes property and living in Mexico cheap. 2) Sound Investment Environment Proof of Mexico making a sound investment is seen in the massive number of overseas investors that have already reaped success here. The solid legal framework helps make Mexico one of the safest high growth markets in the world to invest in. 3) Emerging Economies On The Rise Smart institutional investors are putting their money into emerging economies right now. Traditionally poorer countries with great growth prospects are the latest fashion and Mexico tops the list. 4) Mortgage Loans Growth The end of 2009 saw large amounts of money raised in mortgage-backed securities and predictions of a boom in Mexico mortgage lending. With this influx of liquidity you can buy real estate in Mexico in 2010 and watch the value rise rapidly. 5) Massive Investments In Infrastructure In Mexico, massive investment is still being made in infrastructure, particularly around the tourist zones. More new and improved infrastructure in 2010 will boost the prices of real estate. 6) Mexico Health Care High quality, affordable health care has long been a reason to buy real estate in Mexico. In the U.S., Medicare and some private insurance companies may decide, in 2010, to cover Mexico health care for Americans, or many may opt to buy it directly themselves. Whatever happens, health care will remain much more affordable in Mexico and the standards are superb. 7) Sun, Sun and More Sun! This hardly need stating if you're reading this from a wintery North American climate. The weather in Mexico is excellent, especially on the Caribbean side where you can relax in the sun on the beach all year round. 8) Celebrity Spotting All the top celebrities have been seen in Mexico lately and many have their own real estate here too: George Clooney, Mel Gibson, Meg Ryan, Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Aniston, Bono, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Lopez, Goldie Hawn, Charlize Theron, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Brad Pitt, Adam Sandler - need we go on? 9) People and Culture The fantastic human assets of this beautiful country make for perhaps the biggest attraction. You'll always find Mexicans to be a friendly, welcoming folk and the culture is a colorful kaleidoscope of art, history, food and fascinating customs. 10) Range Of Quality Real Estate There are not many places in the world that offer such an incredible range of architectural styles, property types and breathtaking locations. Whether you're looking for a beach lot in Tulum to construct your own dream home, a condo in Puerto Vallarta for the weekends with ocean and seas views or a cliff-top mansion in Los Cabos, you will find something to fit your taste. We could go on of course, but hopefully these 10 reasons have already demonstrated why we are more sure than ever that now is the time to buy Mexico real estate. Have a great 2010! "#1 Reason Cozumel will prosper in 2010"
If you'd thought scuba diving was dead in Cozumel, you would be wrong. Despite the devastation of 2005's Hurricane Wilma and the more recent economic crisis, the mainstay of the island is that diving is still very much alive. Cozumel can and will always produce a kind of revenue surge after a real depleted time not only because of it's world class diving but friendly, safe, and family oriented culture and community. With some of the best diving in the world and largely growing water sports like "kite boarding", the attraction to Cozumel remains undeniable. AND, after the success of 2009's Ironman competition, which brought in thousands of competitors, media, and spectators; Cozumel has been awarded their return in 2010...stay tuned! "New Boulevard For Mahahual"
"Starting from now, all growth in Mahahual will have to be with this level, with this investment, with this quality, because it represents an important step forwards for Mahahual and for all of Quintana Roo." said state governor Felix Gonzalez when inauguration the new Main Street Costa Maya, which had an investment of over 200 million pesos. The newly renovated boulevard includes numerous shops and tourist attractions, such as a replica of the Mayan Pyramid located in Muyil. After cutting the inaugural ribbon, the state governor stated that the amount of cruise ship arrivals is expected to double this year for the Costa Maya, compared to last year, which saw a sharp decline in tourism because of the health emergency. This tourist and commercial project received an investment of over 200 million pesos in an area of 10 thousand square meters, generating 550 direct jobs. The purpose of these actions is to place the Costa Maya Cruise Port as the Mecca for the arrival of these floating hotels, generating a higher tourist flow and the arrival of larger vessels. Mahahual is located in the heart of the Costa Maya, in the southern half of Quintana Roo. Among it's many attractions are the neighboring Bacalar lagoon, Muyil ruins, and its beautiful beaches. "Mexico Investment In Airwaves"
Mexico will start to auction off cellphone airwaves in May, said the Federal Telecommunications Commission, last week. The move is aimed to encourage investment and increase competition among mobile phone networks. According to a law passed by the Mexican government in 2009, investors will pay annual fees of about $75 million over 20 years for one of the two airwave "blocks" available for new entrants. The exact amount of time for the auction will depend on how many rounds of bidding there are. The agency will have 30 days to declare a winner after the auction closes. Regulators say they want to use the airwave sale to encourage investment and competition with dominant operator America Movil, which owns Telcel in Mexico and has over 70% of Mexican cellphone subscribers. Television company Grupo Televisa and telecom company, Axtel, may also use the opportunity to enter the wireless market. America Movil could also bid for other airwaves to expand its phone and high-speed internet capacity. Whatever the outcome of the auctions, the Mexico investment in telecoms will mean massive benefits for the consumer in terms of improved coverage, speed and service. "New Border Crossing Between U.S. And Mexico"
In a move designed to improve trade and transport, the U.S. and Mexico opened a new border crossing, on Monday. The first new border entry point to open in a decade connects the Texas town of McAllen by the Anzalduas Bridge with Reynosa in Mexico. McAllen's Mayor said the crossing cost $100 million and has been 100% constructed with recycled materials. Felipe Calderon, President of Mexico, flew in for Monday's inauguration event with U.S. Trade Representative, Ron Kirk. Local newspaper, San Antonio News, quoted Kirk saying, "This bridge is more than a link between Mexico and America, between north and south. It is also a potent symbol of our connectiveness. You all knew that a new crossing would bring benefits to this entire region, and those benefits begin today." The border between the U.S. and Mexico is the busiest in the world, with some 350 million crossings per year. According to figures from the U.S. Department of Commerce, trade in both directions between the two neighbors adds up to around one billion dollars, daily. As well as opening the new border crossing, Calderon has pushed through an impressive package of other Mexico investments in infrastructure during a difficult economic period. "Mexico Investment Bright"
Mexico plans to invest $91.2 billion USD in power over the next 4 years, according to a recent new report from the government energy ministry, SENER. Of the bright new Mexico investment, 49% will go to generation, 20.1% to the distribution sector, 18.5% to the transmission sector, 11.6% to maintenance and 0.8% to "other" investments. The recently released 2009-24 forecast breaks down the massive Mexico investment in the energy sector and highlights the emphasis on renewable energy. SENER says renewable generation, which includes hydroelectric plants with less than 30MW capacity, is targeted to rise to 7.7% by 2012. In a move to improve the planning of energy in Mexico, the SENER forecast looked 15 years ahead for the first time, previous forecasts covered only 10 years. Despite the international economic squeeze cutting the government's budget they have still pushed through an impressive package of investment on infrastructure, gas and renewable energy. Infrastructure projects are focussing on the major routes and tourism areas in order to boost local economies and real estate markets too. As the year draws to a close, Mexico investment is a rising star. 2010 looks bright! |
