Mexico Becomes First Choice For Many Second-home Buyers
Home to many popular tourist destinations, such as Cancun, Acapulco, Puerto Vallarta and Baja California, Mexico is also fast becoming a popular destination for those looking to purchase a second home for vacation, retirement or investment.
As more and more families seek to balance their hectic, high-stress lifestyles, having a second home is gaining appeal as a way to get away from it all, reduce stress, participate in recreational activities and enjoy more quality time together, and all while making a good investment for the future.
Located north of Central America, Mexico is an exotic and affordable choice for second homes. At nearly three times the size of Texas, Mexico boasts over 5,500 miles of coastland. The country is graced with a temperate climate year round.
Because real estate in domestic locales such as Arizona and Florida has become so expensive, vacationers and retirees are seeking out more affordable locations. Mexico is an attractive alternative due to its tropical climate, lower cost of living and welcoming attitude towards foreigners.
Its affordable real estate allows U.S. investors to purchase a luxurious second home at prices 20% to 50% less than they would pay for a comparable property back home. And, as demand for these properties increases, owners can expect their investment in Mexico real estate to appreciate.
A variety of quality properties is available for foreign investors seeking second homes in Mexico. Developers are meeting the surge in demand by constructing resort-like, master-planned communities brimming with luxurious amenities such as golf courses, infinity pools, full-service spas, state-of-the-art fitness centers, fine-dining restaurants and exciting entertainment venues.
International buyers appreciate that Mexico offers an attractive infrastructure similar to that of the U.S. It boasts good main roads, Internet access, cable television, good cell phone reception, and availability of many American-style products and services. New and improved airports and frequent flights to and from major U.S. cities, make Mexico easily accessible.
Though Mexican law once prevented non-citizens from purchasing property within 31 miles of the coast, the government has introduced a system known as fideicomiso (fee-day-e-co-me-so), a title-holding trust that allows non-citizens to own property inside of the restricted zones. Therefore, many of the new vacation homes being developed and marketed to foreign investors are built near Mexicos beautiful beaches.
Financing for properties in Mexico has become easier to obtain as developers work in tandem with lending companies in Mexico to offer favorable loan packages to international buyers. In addition, U.S. lenders are starting to offer loans for properties in Mexico.
Mexico is clearly worthy of consideration for those looking to own a second home that will provide years of enjoyment and also offer the potential for appreciation and profit in the future.

About Seapointe Village
Seapointe Village has condos ranging from 1-3 large Bedrooms to townhomes ranging from 2-4 bedrooms with as much as 3000 square feet or more.. Some owners rent their homes out using realtors, but you can save some money by searching in google for a “Seapointe Village rental by owner”. It doesn’t matter who you rent through, all the amenties are available to everyone.
At Seapointe,there is so much to do. To start with, there are 4 wonderful pools (one is an indoor/outdoor pool). The pools are not ordinary. They have very large waterfalls, sprays, a small slide, wading areas, ledges, a bubble pool, etc. My kids love to swim in three of them (one is a quiet pool). We adults love to swim in them as well as relax in one of the 6 jacuzzis!
There are two tennis courts, a basketball court with two hoops, a game room, exercise rooms, and a private beach with volleyball. You can relax on your balcony after making lunch in your condo or townhome and watch the birds frollic in the dancing waterfalls and people watch as you sip a margarita. Or you can order lunch from the deli hut on the beach that is directly in front of the oceanfront pool. Don’t forget to sign up for a massage at the oceanfront pool. When we are at the oceanfront pool, we love to sit above the waterfall in the gazebo and get a great view of the pool below along with a great 180 degree view of the ocean.
Go for a stroll within Seapointe (remember it is a 17 acre resort). Most resorts at the Jersey Shore dont’ have room to walk about. At Seapointe you will see folks going for a walk, or kids riding their bikes, etc. There are many beautiful areas within Seapointe. The flowering gardens are beautiful and well taken care of. There are many rock waterfalls and dancing waterfalls throughout the resort. There are little enclaves between the South Beach building and the Pinnacle building to have lunch or read a book. There are barbeque grills scattered in at least 5 different areas within Seapointe, each area having several grills.
Seapointe Village has a private beach so it doesn’t get crowded. It is also located in the part of Wildwood Crest that doesn’t have a really really long walk to get to the water. It is not short either, but just the perfect size. We used to stay at a hotel in the Crest and dreaded walking from the water back to the hotel. These days my daughter and husband run from the oceanfront pool to the waters edge to take a dip and come back.
The 17 acres is a guard gated community as well so you feel very safe within
Seapointe Village. So come on down and rent a home for your vacation. You will want to buy a home here after you do.
