Real Estate Trend Alert
I’ve just returned from a 10-day scouting trip along Mexico’s Riviera Maya.
This is a stretch of coast buzzing with commerce and activity—at the perfect buying moment. The major trends I have been telling you about in these alerts are happening.
I’ve just got word on an urgent “flash alert” special opportunity on Nicaragua’s Pacific coast.
Nicaragua’s south Pacific is one of the most stunning stretches of coast on earth. And Rancho Santana has carved out two miles of it. It’s a well-established community with five sandy beaches; what I think of as a “high amenity” development.
Greetings from the stunning white sands of Mexico’s Riviera Maya. I’m here on a 10-day scouting trip to investigate further opportunity here.
As you know, the lofts at Tao will be sleek, luxurious condos nestled in a verdant corner of the Tao community. It’s within the beachfront Gran Bahia Principe resort, 15 minutes from Tulum’s buzzing beach town.
This is an all-expenses-paid invitation to investigate the southern edge Mexico’s Riviera Maya to check out the lofts at Tao that I have been telling you about in these alerts.
Now is the time to book your flight and get boots on the ground. The window of opportunity is set to close on these Lofts. This might be your last chance.
As I write, I’m traveling to Tulum to inspect the site for the newest, second phase of the lofts at Tao. Like some of your fellow RETA members, I have reserved units in the first phase.
Last month I told you about our member-only opportunity to buy a Tao Loft near Tulum’s mesmerizing white-sand beaches.
Since the Spanish authorities set up SAREB (a so-called “bad bank” with the aim of stabilizing the banking and real estate sectors) we have had some interesting opportunities—thanks, in part, to how inefficiently SAREB is being run.
My latest “best buy” recommendation on the Spanish coast takes advantage of this inefficiency.
Last Thursday I told you about the opportunity to buy a two-bedroom condo six minutes from the luxurious Puerto Banus on Spain’s Costa del Sol…from 129,000 euro. My boots-on-the-ground research when I visited Spain a few days earlier turned up this opportunity.
I passed on my research to you as soon as possible, predicting these condos (45 units) would sell quickly.
In January I told you about our member-only opportunity to buy a townhouse in the A-nah Tulum community for $215,000. That’s a luxurious 1,697-square-foot (including external spaces) townhouse for $215,000. At this price, it’s up to 30% less than comparable pricing of completed units in the area.
I’ve just learned of a killer opportunity on the Costa del Sol—and I don’t expect it to last long.
The luxurious Puerto Banus sits on the eastern fringes of Marbella. This is where you find the jet set. A mooring for your super yacht will set you back seven figures. Homes sell for well into eight figures. I saw one rental that asks for $60,000 per week. Gucci, Chanel, and Rolex have all set up shop here.
Your March issue of Real Estate Trend Alert—a special report on the best opportunities in Europe right now—is ready to download. I’ll tell you more in a moment…but first, an important update.
There was a significant price hike yesterday in the luxury condos in the Spanish community of Alcaidesa, on the Costa del Sol.
