| HOT PROPERTIES! August 2007 Each month we ask our contacts throughout Mexico to send us some of the best deals in their current listings. These pages don't go into the Archives when the following month's issue of Mexico Insider is posted -- the market in Mexico is so brisk that the chances of these listings remaining active for more than a month are slim. We may repost a particular property if our contacts ask us to, but in many cases, what you see here will be replaced by new listings when we post the next issue of Mexico Insider, and you won't see them again. And here's the Full Disclosure notification -- Mexico Insider receives a promotional fee from our recommended realtors and developers. That's how we pay for the travel, research and due diligence to find these guys and make sure they're the best resources for you. NOTE: When you use the links to request more information, don't forget to include a description of the property to which you're referring in the form!

The big news from Mazatlan continues to be the incredible number of Condo projects being announced and beginning construction. It seems there is a new project announced every month at least! While we still have many Mexican developers, they are being joined by Canadian, Korean and now it appears developers from Dubai are showing interest! There are at least 6 projects under way now, and at a minimum, 10 more about to start. Along with the building boom, the prices are escalating rapidly also. Mazatlan is still much less expensive that a comparable community in the US, and still much less expensive than Cabo San Lucas, Cancun, Puerto Vallarta, etc. but prices are going up. Even more that the demand being high, prices are being driven by the cost of materials. Concrete, steel re-enforcing bars, copper tubing, wood for cabinets, etc. All have doubled or tippled over the last couple of years. New homes are going up also. We have (Among others) two brand new homes on Cerro Vijia (Look Out Hill) near Old Mazatlan. Each is two bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. While they share one common wall, they are not town houses. Each has it’s own patio and each has a very large, partly finished, roof top patio area. Just select your tile and have it finished off. They are $275,000 USD each.
