Lake Chapala. Maybe you're just dreaming of making the move to Mexico and/or you just keep pushing it off for various reasons, but there has never been a better time to make the move. Don't procrastinate any more!

Reason 1:

Why move now? First off, there has never been a better time to sell your home in the U.S or Canada. Home prices are through the roof and the bubble looks like it's set to burst. Inflation (and possible rising interest rates) are starting to slow the economy and home values have finally reached their peak as the Feds try to carefully release the air in the real estate bubble as gently as possible. So cash in now while the market is still moving and home prices are high. There has never been a better time!

Conversely, home prices in Lake Chapala have gone up too but only by about 75%, not the 200-300% increase that NOB home owners have seen.

Reason 2:

Secondly, the Mexican government keeps tightening the rules and increasing the requirements for Temporary and Permanent Visas. Moving sooner, rather than later, makes it easier to get residency and once you have started the process and are on the treadmill (in the case of a Temporary Residency) you'll no longer have to show your financial documents to the Mexican Government again.

Reason 3:

Thirdly, who can take the crap in the political system in the states anymore? (or Canada for that matter). The system is so broke it's laughable. Make the escape and never look back. Don't concern yourself anymore with the politics and experience a sense of freedom like you've never felt before!

Reason 4:

Forth, recognize that we are all getting older and are going to need increased medical care and prescription drugs. What will it cost you to retire in your home town? How much are retirement homes where you live? What do you pay for your medications? Guaranteed, you'll be paying half or less for medical care in Mexico and (for you Canadians) you'll have immediate access to the system through the private hospitals and healthcare services. Give it some thought and contact us to discuss the healthcare options available in Mexico.

Reason 5:

Fifth, residential inventory has finally risen in the past year and we are seeing better and better deals all the time. For the first time since 2017 prices have stabilized and the real estate market is turning into a buyers market. Now is the time before the hordes arrive to pick up your best deal. Both pre-owned inventory and new developments are selling at great prices!
