Why Mexico Real Estate is The Best Choice of Canadians Citizens
January 19th, 2010 Pete For many years, Mexico Real Estate has been the #1 destination for Canadian retirees looking for retirement homes. Sunny climate, fabulous beaches and good lifestyle are some of the reasons why Canadians come to Mexico. But now, because of one additional factor, Mexico retirement homes are becoming even more attractive. The factor is a strong Canadian dollar. A strong Canadian dollar means increased buying power while buying real estate in Mexico because, in international real estate market the currency used is US dollars. The continued strengthening of Canadian dollars means that Canadian citizens can buy more luxurious and spacious retirement homes with even more lifestyle amenities and conveniences. Alternatively, a Canadian retiree can buy a Mexican retirement condo a lot cheaper then it was a year back. With Mexico Real Estate prices offered at reduced prices due to worldwide recession, it means at least thousands of dollars of savings.
Retiring in Mexico has always held lure for North Americans. Day to day living costs in Mexico is way lower than in Canada or US. The lifestyle quality is also improving every day with development of new world class amenities and infrastructure. Mexico offers everything to everybody. If your idea of life is relaxing then Mexico provides plenty of opportunities to do that. At the same time for people looking for more action Mexico has a bustling lifestyle with many social and cultural events, travel destinations, adventure sports, historical monuments, restaurants, pubs and discs. For shopaholics, Mexico has well stocked and hi-end shopping malls. For golf fans, Mexico has some of world’s most beautiful and best gold courses. Same goes for tennis aficionados also.
For people with refined tastes in art and cultural, Mexico is a treasure trove. Mexico has a very vibrant and thriving local culture which is many hundred years old. World famous Ancient Mayan and Aztec ruins dot Mexico. If you like art galleries and museums then the city favored by expats is Puerto Vallarta which hosts many artists and intellectuals.
Puerto Vallarta is known as Art Mecca of Mexico with over 30 art galleries, open-air amphitheatre, library and many festivals.
Due to a large expat population consisting of Americans and Canadian, there are some very active local expat groups and clubs. These clubs provide a great opportunity for expats and retirees to bond, network and share their problems. These clubs regularly organize cultural events.
Since, Mexico is close to USA and Canada and very well connected through road and air, getting back to home is never a problem. International airports in Mexico offer flights to all major destinations and cities in USA and Canada. This means that expats and retirees as well as their relatives can travel to and fro for festivals & holidays cheaply and quickly.
So a retiring in Mexico is not only within budget but also a very affordable option, considering luxurious lifestyle offered by it.
