Some advice on how to circumnavigate the real esate market in Mexcio.
For some Americans and Canadians,
Mexico has been home sweet home for more than 20 years. These are the
lucky few who got "in" before Mexico became mainstream. For all
the others, myself included, we are only now looking at our neighbor
south of the border, wondering if we could do it too. Last January,
having read the New York Times article on Merida, I gathered some friends
to discuss a purchase in the Yucatan.

 The Modern US Mexico Land Grab, What It Means To All
A hundred
and sixty years ago, the U.S.
took over almost a third of Mexico,
paying $15 million for territories that became California,
Nevada, Utah,
Arizona and Texas. Today, U.S.
citizens are moving into Mexico
again, but this time they’re paying $1 million for oceanfront homes or $300,000
for condos in amenity-rich resorts.

An update from One Stop Real Esate in Playa del Carmen.
In this letter I want to cover a little
about the reality of hurricanes, who is coming to invest in Mexico, and
why.
As
you know Hurricane Dean passed to the South of Playa through the Majahual area
causing extensive damage to the cruise ship facility and many structures on the
beach front. One Stop took a truck load of food and clothing down to Bacalar
and Buena Vista a week after the hurricane, and Bacalar looked like Playa after
Wilma in 2005.

"Slam Dunk" Home Purchasing in Playa del Carmen
We have all seen, or
heard of, the NBA stars who "slam dunk" the ball through the
"hoop" one too many times.
They make it look so easy, that we
always, and
usually unsucessfully, try imitating them
while playing "half-court ball" at the park. I personally remember a couple of guys in my
neighborhood that were actually able
to do it! "Slam
Dunk" is also an expression commonly used meaning "It is a done
deal!".

 News from One Stop Real Estate in Playa del Carmen
The Four Major Forces Driving Our Playa del
Carmen (and area) Real Estate Market.
First of course, we all know this one; the baby boomer generation
is searching for their home in the sun. They have their money, and sometimes
they even have generational money. They know what they want and they are ready
to take action and get it. More and more baby boomers are moving to Mexico
to live part time or full time and enjoy a slower easier life style, and, so
they never have to shovel snow again!

According to a leading real estate appraiser in Mexico, Bruce Greenburg, there are between $20
and $40 Billion Dollars in residential real estate assets held by Americans in Mexico today
with an estimated $5-$7 billion dollars under construction and deliverable
within the next 18-24 months. This is
