We get asked every week is it time to buy a home in the Tucson and surrounding areas of Oro Valley, Marana and Vail. We thought that we would give some insight into the current home sales statistics, the amount of homes for sale, and current real estate news that affects current home sales in the Tucson area.
Without a crystal ball it is very difficult to predict whether Tucson is actually at the bottom of the market. There are many factors that affect different aspects of the market including national economic news, and it is of note that some areas of the real estate market are performing better than others.
Undoubtedly the first time home buyer tax credit of $8,000 given by the current administration for sales recorded in November 2009, has helped with sales in the $100,000 and $200,000 prices range, together with a good amount of foreclosures and short sales in this price range in some areas of Tucson.
It has also been a while coming, but we are now seeing a decrease in pricing in the Tucson luxury home market, as builders, who had sat with spec homes notes became due, and homeowners who decided that they wanted to sell, reduced their home pricing. This has resulted in some activity in the market. Notably and recently, we have seen all but one of the Parade of Homes go back to the Bank. Bank of Oklahoma will probably sit on the investment until the market changes, so current news suggests. The new Ritz Carlton Resort in Marana is due to open in the Fall, and this will help bring the Luxury home buyer to the Tucson and Marana Real Estate market. There are however currently good deals to be had in the Tucson Luxury Home Market. We recently Listed and Sold a home that had originally been a Street of Dreams Home. It was advertised close to $2,000,000 and just sold for $1,250,000 It was the lowest priced sale in Stone Canyon, a Gated Luxury home Community in Oro Valley.
So if you are a Buyer then we feel that it is an excellent time to buy a home. Rates are on the rise, this may limit the Buyer's ability to get financing for the home of their dreams in the long run. However, even with the slight raise in interest rates to around 5.5% the rates are still very low for a fixed rate mortgage, and one can buy a nice Tucson az Homes with with either FHA, VA or Conventional Financing options.
Some areas of Tucson have actually seen a slight increase in price as they bottomed early with many investors defaulting from the boom of 2005, and now multiple offers have been made on the foreclosure properties in the area. Two of these areas are Continental Ranch and the other Rita Ranch. Both areas benefit from their popularity with employers from Raytheon and also Davis Monthan Air Force Base, stable job areas that have always been popular with employees because of their proximity to the freeway and the shopping conveniences that are present there.
According to recent Tucson MLS May Statistics, it shows that the Tucson Listing inventory continues to drop, closings actually went up about 60 units from April, pending sales were down 42 units from April, and the median home sales price has increased 3.72%.
Tucson is not seeing the dramatic drops of last year 2009. Over a six month period, we will be able to show a quantitative graph that measures inventory against new sales. The numbers have been drawing closer since January of this year, which some Economists suggest equals a trend. We will be watching how this trend progresses into June.
As a final note you should consider a Tucson market analysis by Zip code as the story can be quite different by area.
Some areas have significantly higher sales percentages by area for example 85730 has 129 Active Listings with 44 sales in May, and 85713 200 Active Listed and 41 sales.
This can affect the sales price and also the appraisal on the home.
As Tucson Real Estate Agents, we can perform a detailed analysis of Tucson Zip Codes for a detailed report for Buyers and Sellers in the Tucson area, or for those relocating to Tucson who are unfamiliar with the market.

Visit Puerto Penasco through Presentation yields Poor Attendance
With just over 60 local people on hand, therapists from the Sonora Dolphinarium, which has been operating out of San Carlos Nuevo Guaymas since 2006, presented information on how to use dolphin therapy services among persons with disabilities.
The municipal auditorium set the scene for the gathering, welcoming parents of at least 20 children with central nervous system problems who are interested in dolphin assisted therapy.
After explaining the characteristics of the eco-locating system of dolphins and the history of therapies with these marine mammals, Iveth Hoyos Robles, therapy director at the Sonora Dolphinarium, reported they are visiting municipalities throughout the state in order to teach people more about this program and how they can access it.
She detailed that since October 2006, when operations began, they have tended to 1,159 people, principally children, who in general have had very favorable results through dolphin assisted therapies.
She clarified dolphin-therapy is a therapeutic method that does not substitute other therapies, rather it is a complement to treatments a patient with neurological problems may be going through.
Hoyos Robles noted care provided at the dolphinarium, which consists of five 20 minute sessions, is based on dolphin's sonar stimulating the central nervous system and helping the reactivation of neurons.
Therapist Wendy Zavala Salcedo indicated they are tending to ah types of central nervous system problems, yet those with brain paralysis, autism, Down syndrome, spinal bifida, among others, have been the most predominant. She remarked within the 2 years four months the Sonora Dolphinarium has been in operation they have been able to document positive effects for the short, medium and long term.
Among them, she stated, are the improvement of the quantity and quality of children's dreams progress in the affect area, improved self-esteem and socialization, as well as progress in areas of concentration, decreases in hyper-activity and control of eating habits, among other favorable results.
Iveth Hoyos Robles told those interested in the program that the normal cost of dolphin assisted therapy is 12,000 pesos, but in 90% of the cases this amount is offset through scholarships offered by the state DIF or sponsors from private initiatives. The therapy director from the Sonora Dolphinarium stressed the cost for those interested in first-time therapy treatments is based on a socioeconomic study, with the support of municipal DIF offices or committees for the integration of persons with disabilities.
She indicated up to now they have worked with 9 patients from Puerto Penasco and the idea is to work with many more, as the goal for 2009 is to provide dolphin assisted therapy to 6oo people, primarily children.

Penasco joins National halt on Fishing fleet
Puerto Penasco is joining the national halt on fishing fleets, which began January 1st. Under this measure, 50 local vessels will remain inactive and docked for at least ten more days, reported Mateo Lopez Leon, president of the local office of the National Chamber of the fishing Industry.
Lopez Leon indicated that although the paralyzing of a number of ships is not the most ideal for Penasco, they finally decided to join the national movement in order to press for improvements in the price of marine fuel while seeking better conditions to market shrimp.
He stressed they were unable to get the full participation of the boats moored in this port, because those from Guaymas and Mazatlan made the decision not to halt their efforts. Similarly, 40% of the local ships that already had catches in their hulls decided not to participate.
Lopez Leon stressed after analyzing the pros and cons, they finally decided to join the national halt which includes both shrimp and tuna fleets throughout the country.
He reiterated that in the case of Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point), the stoppage would last for about ten years, during which time they would be able to see how negotiations with the federal government reacted. He noted that increases in fuel prices makes fishing activities less profitable.
The leader of the local ship owners acknowledged the inactivity of the local fleet was not a positive thing for the local economy, which continues to falter, yet the intent is to provide pressure in order to achieve conditions that will assure fishing is profitable.

Spring Break in Rocky Point 2009 - Where to go? - Part II
In the first part of the article on "Spring break in Rocky Point 2009 - Where to go?" – we had discussed that why to go in Rocky Point, Mexico in summer season. In this concluding article, we will discuss the rest of the hotspots in Rocky Point.
Sandy Beach also has its share of restaurants with at least one in every resort. However, the only “Party Spot” is Changos Bar, right by the entrance to the Sonoran Sea and the Sonoran Spa. Also in Sandy Beach, at the end of the resort area going towards Cholla Bay, is “The Reef RV Park” where you can still camp on the beach for a fee. There is also a large bar that gets pretty crowded on Spring Break. If your thing is to enjoy the beach and stay away from the crowds, there are many options available in Rocky Point where, even on the busiest Spring Break week, you won't be crowded. Our favorite quiet spot is Playa Encanto, not too far but far enough to stay away from the noise and the crowds. You will be welcomed by pristine beaches and soft clean white sand. No hotels here, but you can rent a house, kayak the estuary, examine the beautiful beach shells, build sand castles, watch perfect sunsets, spot dolphins (and maybe even whales) and have a wonderful family or romantic time. There are no available for miles, no bars, no restaurants, no stores, so bring your own food and supplies or be prepared to drive into town. It seems really far, but it's actually just a 20 minute drive.
Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) offers many choices for college students and families that want to have a great Spring Break. To ensure you have the best of times remember to follow the laws in Mexico. It is not very different from the USA: Use your seat belt, obey the speed limits, and stop at the stop signs (watch carefully as some are missing or hard to see) and most important: Don't drink and Drive! This can get you in a lot of trouble or worse, you could get hurt or hurt someone else. Be aware that streets are not marked as well as in USA. There are a lot of visitors that do not know the city and some locals get impatient, so driving conditions may be particularly challenging during peak tourist season. Drive defensively and stay safe. If you happen to commit some traffic violation, the customary thing is to go to the police station to pay your fine. Do not pay the police officer, do not be scared of going to the police station, they do this because they have no way of guaranteeing payment of the fine if you are from out of town.

Spring break in Rocky Point 2009 - Where to go?
We are full of expectation for a Fantastic Spring Break in Rocky Point 2009. The weather this winter has been very mild, and we think we will get a perfect few weeks to enjoy the change of season and, of course, welcome all the college students that come down to visit us every year. If you have been to Rocky Point for other Spring Breaks, you know where to go, except of course there are a few new spots to consider. If this is your first trip, there are lots of choices in town. The favorite place for Spring Breakers is what called “The Strip” in El Mirador Beach. This is actually on the street (Matamoros) that runs alongside the beach. The busiest spot is Manny's Beach Club, they're open for breakfast and lunch but famous for the night life. During the day Manny's is a family spot, where you can have a drink and play on the beach with the kids. During Spring Break nights, the place goes wild. It might even be hard to get in, since it is so packed. Don't try to park your car here or anywhere around during Spring Break. The whole strip is closed and only pedestrians are allowed. Some empty lots in the vicinity become pay parking lots. There will be many taco and hot dogs stands, with lots of security and people trying to redirect traffic. Your best bet, if you are not staying nearby, is to get a cab. This is also the safest way to get there, if you don't have designated driver. Taxi's in Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco) are abundant and a taxi ride in town is just $ 2.00 usd per person per ride (Watch out if you are staying on Sandy Beach, in Cholla Bay or at Mayan Palace, as it can be considerably more, but don't be afraid to try to arrive at a better price before you get into the taxi). If you are coming down mainly to party, staying close to “the Strip” is a good idea. Bars in this area include Baja Cantina (rooms available), Ice House, Pink Cadillac, Sandals Bar, Club Havana (Adult Entertainment), Around the Corner, Coyote Ugly and, just off the strip and favorite for the locals lately, Elixir.
The next favorite place for Spring Breakers is what we call 13 th street, or Calle 13. It boasts, many restaurants including Sushi Sun, Lucky House, El Sombrero, Max's Cafe, Austin's Pizza, Asadero Gus, lots of taco places and the Famous Sunset Cantina plus many adult entertainment choices. Also, just off 13 th on the road towards Playa Bonita, there is the new “Camel Toe Cantina” which has been a popular spot since it opened. In this same area you can rent ATV's and dune buggies during the day.
The Malecon, in Old Port along the Sea of Cortez, is a must see if you are coming down. It is a great spot to watch the sun go down. Buy fresh fish and seafood at the fish market, shop for souvenirs and enjoy the many restaurants including The Point, The thirsty Parrot, Regina's, Flavio's, Portofino, Blue Marlin, Lapa Lapa, Senor Shrimp II, Mary's Fish Market and also several bars like Boo bar, and Shark Bite.

Puerto Penasco On Horseback
If you've driven by Playa Bonita Resort chances are you may have seen the man above - Juventino Jimenez J. - sitting under his umbrella or grooming one of his 7 horses that he rents to tourists and residents.
As I was traveling down the road on my way to Sandy Beach, I saw Juventino with all of these horses and just had to stop to find out what he was doing since, in my 13 years here, I've never seem him before. I figured he was renting them, but wondered why he wasn't on the beach. As it turns out, Juventino has been trying to get a permit to rent on the beach for about 3 years now, but hasn't had much luck. Horse rentals on the beach! Wouldn't that be great? Who wouldn't want to ride along the Sea of Cortez? It would give the town more of that “touristy” feel.
Juventino has healthy horses which he keeps at his house. He brings them down to the corner, usually on busy weekends or high traffic times, all by himself. No truck, no trailer, no help.
He said that people (probably) do ride on the beach, but for the most part, they stay along the city streets out of the way. He'd love to be a tour guide with a group of renters and show them parts of the city they've never seen.
Juventino doesn't have a cell phone, but did give me his home address and welcomes anyone to stop by his house if he was not at his post. I have yet to find the street on any map, but I'm still looking. He seemed like a genuinely nice, interesting, hardworking man, so I wanted to put his picture in so you could stop by and say hello, or take one of his horses for a spin – he has horses for all skill levels. Stop by and say hi to Juventino.

Rocky Point Mexico - What a Place to Be
We who live and play in Rocky Point are spoiled. This area restores a person's very being and essence.
You can came here tired and discouraged, feeling at odds with the world, and when you are ready to leave you find it very hard to leave. Your spirit has been lifted and soothing contentment has creeped in. it seems to affect almost everyone the same way.
I have many people, from many different walks of life, what it is about Rocky Point that they love and what it is that keeps pulling them back. Here is a few of the responses:
Nick and Paula Melcher, who live in Tucson and used to live in Montana, say they seize every opportunity to come to Rocky Point (Puerto Penasco).
They have been coming for 13 years, have a camper and often stayed at Playa de Oro. They enjoy the ability to get away from stress and demands of their jobs and come here for relaxation and relish the charm of the ocean and the change of peace. Paula says she particularly likes to be away from phones. Their son, Henry Melcher, married his wife, Kathy, here in 2003 and they rented the whole ship for the celebration of their wedding.
Catherine Patrick, who lives in Las Conchas, first came to this area in the early 80's. she built a house in 1997 and lives here full time.
Sandy Spain, who lives in Playa Encanto, bought a small house there in 1985. the house sits on a hill and she can look out every window and see the ocean, which she loves. She moves full time to Rocky Point in 2002.
Kerstin Wilson, is 82 years old and lives in a RV Park in the Mirador area. She is originally from Sweden and has been coming to Rocky Point for 50 years and has lived here full time for many years.
Elaine Stanfield, who lives in las conchas part time, enjoys more that anything the simple life. She likes feeling comfortable in her old grubbies when she stop to see a friend, or go to lunch and not have to dress up. She is grateful that you can find such a variety of fresh fruit and vegetables and does not have to spend much money.
As for me, the thing I find most enchanting about this whole area is the strong feeling of Qi. When I see the waves pounding against the shore, feel the wind blowing my hair, smell the fresh ocean air, and sense the warm sun caressing my body, I truly feel uplifted and blessed.

Businesses Form a Common front in Puerto Penasco
A common front to strengthen the private sector, while guiding Puerto Penasco to a better future are the objectives behind the creation of the local Business Coordination Council, under the leadership of its incoming President, Oscar Palacio Soto.
These objectives were revealed on January 20 th during the swearing in ceremony of the council's first board of directors. The council is made up of members from the National Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of the Fishing Industry, the Convention and Visitors Bureau, the Association of Tourism Developers, as well as members from professional groups of accountants, engineers, and architects.
Following the formal swearing in of the civil association's board, State President of the Business Coordination Council, Victor Arriola Mayer, spoke and stressed that the synergy of business organizations plays an important part in communities such as Puerto Penasco.
He clarified the intent of the Business Coordination Council is not compete with other existing organizations, but rather to establish true coordination and serve as mediator for issues that may arise between organizations or already established enterprises.
This new organization, he added, undoubtedly will help bring together tremendous commonalities and agreements, and serve an effective tool in working with authorities from the three levels of government, financial institutions, and independent entities, all centered on the common goal of promoting Puerto Penasco.
Arriola Mayer remarked the current situation represents valuable opportunities for revitalizing companies and optimizing resources. He added that during an electoral year such as this one, it is necessary for society to participate more in development and towards a good union between public and private sectors.
The recently appointed president of the local Business Coordination Council, Oscar Palacio Soto, stated that Puerto Penasco is at the correct time to join efforts and guide everyone toward a better future.
After going over recent collapses in the local economy, he stressed that within the realm of tourism they had never anticipated what currently occurring due to the real estate crisis. Therefore, he urged, they must search for and find ways to get ahead, through dialog concerning common objectives and joint efforts.
Palacio Soto indicated this organization will provide benefits to the community as it seeks to find alternatives and evaluate impacts created by different local businesses.
Mayor Heriberto Renteria Sanchez affirmed that in these difficult times it is essential to look at things in a more realistic light, because the reality is that businesses have not been taken care of in Puerto Penasco and therefore many have been affected by the economic crisis.
The Mayor congratulated the participants of the Business Coordination Council for their intent on working together to search for alternatives to assist in solving problems while creating better productive and economic conditions, with the common goal of working to benefit Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) through organization and unity.
“It is necessary we adjust to the times we are living in, and it's great that business people are getting organized, because there is no other way through which Penasco is going to get better”, remarked the City leader.
Various people were on hand for the swearing in of the new organization, including local representative Sergio Cuellar Yescas, Rebeca Castelo Valenzuela, on behalf of the Secretary of the Economy, developers, notary publics, representatives from different business and commercial offices, as well as those from many local businesses.

Mexican Constitution Day - February 5th
In Mexico, February 5th marks the day honoring the constitution that still governs the country, being the maximum law of the land.
The official name of our constitutions is the Political Constitution of the United Mexican States, and is also often called the Fundamental Law or Magna Carta.
The first truly Mexican constitution is that of 1824, as it discards any type of foreign legislation and proclaims absolute sovereignty. However, prior to this, there were already various laws in existence, among them the Spanish Constitution of Cadiz in 1812, the “feelings of the Nation” by Jose Maria Morelos, and the Constitutional Decree for liberty of Mexican American, or the Constitution of Apatzingan of 1814.
The Constitution of 1857 was the fundamental element in national defense against the French invasion and Emperor Maximiliano de Hasburgo. It was fully valid following the expulsion of foreigners and remained in effect until 1917.
In 1910, the armed Mexican Revolution began, based on the social, economic and political conditions that arose during the time of President Porfirio Diaz who remained in power for more than 30 years. This movement was precisely the context for the creation of the Constitution that governs Mexico through today.
Venustiano Carranza, as first leader of the constitutionalist Army, in charge of the executive branch, called congress together on 1916 in order to present a project to reform the constitution of 1857. The document went through tremendous modifications and additions to adjust to the new social reality of the country. On February 5 th, 1917, the current Magna Carta was presented at the theater of the Republic in Queretaro. This document was able to bring together the revolutionary ideals of the Mexican people. It included principles for social reforms and farmers. In addition, it was drawn up to govern all Mexicans without distinction to race, creed, or social or political condition, offering the liberty of thought and beliefs.

Flag Day in Mexico
The flag, as well as the Emblem and the Nacional Anthem, are the symbols of our nation and they identify us as Mexicans. Our country became a free and sovereign nation when it gained its Independence. From then on, it has been known as Mexico.
Like all of the countries in the world, Mexico has a flag as one of its main symbols. Do you know what the colors of our flag stand for?
Green is for hope and victory. White is for the purity of our ideals. Red is for the blood our national heroes shed.
In addition to the bands of color, our flag also has and emblem. The emblem is based on a legend which tells how the Mexicans traveled from Aztlan (now the state of Nayarit) in search of the sign that Huitzilopochtli had told them they would find in the place where they should establish their Empire. This sign was an eagle on top of a nopal cactus devouring a serpent.
They found this on a small island in the middle of a lake. They settled there and found the city of Tenochtitlan, which is now Mexico city.
Look closely at the emblem. Besides the eagle, the cactus and the serpent, there are other elements. Did you also know that our flag is considered one of the most beautiful in the world?
On May 20, 2008, the Internet site of the Spain paper “20 Minutes”, opened up a contest for the “most beautiful flag in the world”. 104 entries participated in the event, which received 7.5 million votes, as well as 25,000 comments. The winning flag was that of Mexico, which received 901,627 points!
The contest wrapped up on July 7, 2008, following seven days of voting in the “finals” to which only 10 flags advanced, as the ten most voted on throughout the contest.
Following Mexico was the flag of Peru, which received 301,901 points and Guatemala with 272,541; these were followed by the Dominican Republic, Brazil, Spain, Uruguay, Argentina, Canada and Puerto Rico.
The symbolic contest, which gradually eliminated flags received the fewest votes, drew the attention of many countries that even promoted voting through the press. “The most beautiful flag in the world” contest was the brainchild of a “20 Minutes” reader. The paper has a special section on its website where the public can organize voting concerning various themes and issues.

2008 was a Tough Year for Tourism in Rocky Point
Drop in number of visitors to area by 250,000
2008 was a difficult year for Puerto Penasco, Mexico in the area of tourism as 250,000 fewer visitors made there way to the area compared to the year before. This decreased represents a drop of at least 16% and had a domino affect throughout the city, reports Rafael Gonzalez Valenzuela, Director of the City Convention and Visitors Bureau (OCV).
The OCV Director stated that, according to report from the port of entry in Lukeville, Arizona, which is the principal port accessing Penasco, they registered nearly 1.3 million foreigners passing through, when compared to 1.55 million in 2007.
He indicated in the area of national tourism the situation was a bit different, as the numbers of visitors in this realm was maintained at nearly 1.75 million. Nevertheless, this phenomenon was not sufficient to reverse the negative impact of the drop in foreign tourism.
Gonzalez Valenzuela explained in the area of hotel occupancy, 2008 ended with an average of 43%, compared to 58% from the previous year, reflecting a 15 point drop.
Base on this, he added, the final evaluation highlight 2008 was generally a poor year for Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point).
Among expectations for 2009, which is sure to be a complicated year and one in which it will be difficult for the situation to improve, they are still anticipating results from the intensive campaign to be carried out in California following the opening up of the coastal highway.
Gonzalez Valenzuela stated they have not done a full evaluation concerning the negative economic impact due to the drop in foreign tourism, but undoubtedly this has taken its toll on practically all service providers and businesses in the city.
The OCV Director remarked that based on this, the task is to strengthen promotional campaigns in order to promote the area in any way possible, given that the economic crisis is likely to last through 2009.

Financing Homes in Mexico - Baby Boomers are starting to get it
For those that want to stretch their equity, there are now options for USA financing of Homes in Mexico. Baby Boomers can sell their current homes and place only a portion of the proceeds into their home in Mexico as a down payment. Monthly payments will often be much less than their current payment on their “Raised the Children In” home.
When choosing vacation properties for the intention of making it a retirement home, however, the results are a bit surprising. One might assume that many people will choose golf course locations or beach side resorts. While this is still a popular option, many Baby Boomers are choosing their property based on the availability of quality health care. The Baby Boomers who participated in various studies cited that rural areas where they could get affordable health care quickly was more important than the proximity to their favorite past time. However, as this generation throughout their lives has become accustomed to, they want it all. In Mexico, they get it all. Access to affordable high quality medical facilities as well as the beach lifestyle that they have been looking for. Many are choosing to settle in residential resort communities in Mexico that are only a short drive from the USA like Rosarito Beach, Ensenada, San Felipe and Puerto Penasco, for that additional peace of mind.
Savvy developers have imported the technology of “Residential Resort Lifestyles” - a true-blue American concept -into the country, with the result that for Baby Boomers, a home in a resort in Mexico is truly a home away from home. These residential resorts are typically located by the seaside with all amenities that one can imagine-swimming pools, a community center, recreation hall, easy commuting distance to a golf course, theater, bar and restaurants, pizza, shopping mall, launderettes, and wi-fi internet service. With the ocean before them, water sports are of course emphasized. These facilities ensure that a residential resort home owner need not really step out too far from their door for socializing, relaxation and enjoyment.
Homes in these residential resorts are usually custom-designed and well constructed. While planning the home design, architects and building contractors are required to follow strict guidelines that adhere to the best U.S. standards of construction, including height regulations thereby respecting their neighbor's ocean and mountain views. People who may have spent their life in cramped conditions, or perhaps had to adjust with rented homes while working in cities get the chance to let their imagination soar and bring to reality their dreams about the seaside home they have always wanted.
Ownership of residential land in Mexico for non-nationals is thought a vehicle known as “Fideicomiso”. The Fideicomiso is akin to an USA Living Trust, whose basis is the Trust whose basis is the Trust system of ownership. It is through a Fideicomiso that Baby Boomers have been acquiring absolute ownership rights to Property in Mexico. Baby Boomers need to make sure that by a professional title insurance company that takes could possibly and conceivably arise. This protects the nest that takes into account all the issues and eventualities that could possibly and conceivably arise. This protects the nest that the Baby Boomers is so assiduously building for themselves, post retirement.
It has begun to happen-Prospective retirees are buying their dream houses along the serene and peaceful coasts of Northwest Mexico. While waiting for the big day when they actually retire, these Baby Boomers snatch long weekends from their hectic schedule and can drive to their seaside vacation home. The moments spent at the waterfront are so relaxing and rejuvenating.

When choosing vacation properties for the intention of making it a retirement home, however, the results are a bit surprising. One might assume that many people will choose golf course locations or beach side resorts. While this is still a popular option, many Baby Boomers are choosing their property based on the availability of quality health care. The Baby Boomers who participated in various studies cited that rural areas where they could get affordable health care quickly was more important than the proximity to their favorite past time.

Retirement Homes in Mexico - Baby Boomers are Starting to Get it
The Generation of Baby Boomers who have experienced the most exciting and economically prosperous of all times are starting to look for retirement Properties in Mexico. They want to take their current home equities and leverage them into seaside resort living with all the relaxation and recreational amenities that they have always dreamed about. Most need to look towards Mexico for affordable beach homes, easy living, and excellent medical facilities.
Of all the generations that span the history of mankind, it is the Baby Boomers who have experienced the most exciting and economically prosperous times of all. Babies born immediately after the World War ended witnessed the economy of the country shifting gears-from war mode and war mood to business mode and business mood. As the rest of world became busy in repairing its war-worn cities and fractured economies, businesses in United States enjoyed unprecedented boom time, with overfilled order books that ensured prosperity and wealth to its citizenry for decades to come.
Various studies and researches have thrown up interesting facts. Baby Boomers usually expect to be retired by the time they reach 65. This means that in another five years from now, the first waves of this generation will start moving towards the Mexico Vacation Homes that they have so craved all their life. Almost 60% of the survey respondents want their vacation homes to be away from an urban setting, and almost 50% said that they preferred living in an age-restricted community. Many are planning on selling their current homes that have greatly appreciated in value. For some this equity is a large part of their retirement planning. The trick is to find a dream home that will allow them to utilize this equity as part of their living expenses.
After spending a lifetime chasing money in crowded, polluted, and stuffy offices and factory floors in busy cities, Baby Boomer generation longs for life that is totally different. A deeper analysis of the numbers thrown up by all the surveys quoted above reveals that people in the age group from forty to sixty have made up their mind - well, at least a majority of them-to shift away from their present home which has so well served its purpose and utility. But it is time now, folks, to move on. To enjoy the goodies that this world has to offer. To be in the lap of Mother Nature, and yet enjoy the material comforts that money in the bank can buy.
This perception has driven the Baby Boomers towards climes that are relaxing and soothing to the body and the mind. Mexico has long been an attractive destination, with its exotic locales, sunny weather, intriguing history, and familiar culture plus of course its proximity to the home country, which is a bonus. The NAFTA agreement between Canada , the USA and Mexico (initiated by yet another Baby Boomer, Bill Clinton), signed in 1994, opened up the possibility of Mexico becoming a favorite place to retire. Today, more than a million Americans have chosen Mexico as their home; indeed it is the largest group of Americans residing anywhere on the planet outside the U.S. And a majority of this residents and investors are Baby Boomers.
So be a part of this great opportunity and plan to spend your rest of life in a heavenly abode in Mexico.

Lava Flows Visible from New Pinacate, Mexico
Bet you don't know what's happening out in the middle of the Sonoran Desert right now, do ya? Yes, we all know that the snakes and reptiles are out, sunbathing and waiting for the next unsuspecting tourist or hiker to pass by before giving them the scare of their life. This “thing” is so big that it covers over 8,000 square feet and looks out over recent lava flows and those beautiful, tempting sand dunes.
In between Puerto Penasco and Sonoyta, Mexico, just outside a little town called Nayarit sits the most wonderful place in the Sonoran Desert. The Pinacate Biosphere Reserve is so richly diverse that it houses a variety of different plant life and wildlife, including the endangered Sonoran Pronghorn.
If you're lucky, as you drive toward Rocky Point on Hwy. 8, you might catch sight of a big horn sheep off in the distance walking along the side of a mountain. Most of you pass right by the green sign that tells you that a world of discovery and adventure is just a little way up the dusty trail. More of you have probably taken notice within the last year or so when all of the signs and fences started going up to protect the area from vehicles. It took them a long time to be recognized as a Biosphere Reserve and it seems now is something finally come of it.
Along with housing great hiking and camping spots, the Pinacates is also home to volcanic craters such as the Cerro Colorado and the Elegante. They are massive when you get to stand on the edge of them and look down. The area is more commonly known for its peaks and craters, but there are a ton of people (biologists, botanists, etc.) who are thrilled at studying the diverse life (animal and plant) that can survive in such harsh conditions. (when you're sweating in Phoenix or Penasco, they are boiling at the Reserve, there has even been snow spotted on top of the peaks – believe it or not!)
Their new cultural and visitor's center will contain a wealth of information and services such as those found at Organ Pipe Cactus National Monument, Cabeza Prieta national wildlife refuge and many other protected areas around the world. The lobby will contain all kinds of information about the area – the plants you will come across, the reptiles you might meet and the flying insects that might try to bite you during the night. The building will contain lots of photos, drawings, models and museum quality pieces – artifacts are often found in the area (please don't remove them).
The center will be a wealth of cultural and historical information – from the library to the auditorium. There will be an onsite cafeteria, restrooms, a desert botanical garden and telescopes to view the beautiful scenery from.
Their cultural and visitor's center will be a great addition for those who like to learn more about the area, nature or just want a diversion or fun activity.

Twenty five percent of one million of the four million Americans living abroad live in Mexico and why not! You can trade in your suburban home in the U.S. for a seaside estate south of the border, live in elegance with beautiful expansive views in a relaxed lifestyle. In Mexico you can easily afford the help that makes this style of living easy.
By 2011 the first wave of baby boomers will retire, that's approximately 78 million people. Most of these retirees can modestly retire in the U.S, or live amazingly better in Mexico. Currently there are 25,000 north Americans retiring each year. Rocky Point, Mexico is expected to be one of the leaders in Mexico's growing retirement migration destinations.
One of the attributes that is credited for these numbers is that its relaxed and refreshing atmosphere is so close to the border. As investors consider what is important for them in retirement, the proximity to the border is important. Accessibility to an airport, ease of doing business, communication and infrastructure are also important considerations.
Because the number of retirees is soon to grow exponentially and many will be migrating south, a recent study was done to analyze the demands, travel habits and perception of Mexico as a tourist destination in Americans over 50. the study was conducted by the council for the promotion of tourist for mexico.
The list below is what was deduced, and is partly why so many savvy investors are looking here now.
1. The cost of living is lower
2. The weather is better, escaping cold climates
3. The economic and political climates are stable
4. Healthcare is excellent and affordable
5. English is widely spoken
6. Foreigners can own, buy and sell property in Mexico
7. Its close proximity to the U.S.
8. A mix of varying activities from passive to more vigorous
9. Share differing cultures, people and art
10. Beauty of surroundings
11. Reliving previous satisfactory experiences
If anybody is even considering investing in a retirement community, home or destination, they just need to spend a little time here in Mexico to realize this is it. With beautiful beaches, sunsets and so much more visual candy, coupled with the lifestyle opportunities here, this little town is simply inspiring.
The research involved in making the most important decision for your retirement is so simple. Come to Puerto Penasco, take your shoes off and stroll on the beach at sunset. But then realistically spend a little more time here, talk to people who live here and enjoy your homework.

Hazards of Mixing Business with Pleasure While Buying Property in Mexico
Jim Beam and three of his buddies were drinking in a bar one night and had the brilliant idea of driving their quads across the border and setting up a business in Puerto Penasco renting them. So one Friday they drove across, parked their vehicles on the beach, and put up a sign saying, “Rentals $25/HOUR”. Business was a little slow at first, so two of them decide to take a ride down the beach. Unfortunately they had been drinking a lot of beer and were not very steady drivers. They rolled over the quads, putting both the vehicles and themselves out of commission. While they were being treated, Jim rented another quad to a guy on the beach, who took off and never came back. The fourth quad was confiscated because Jim and his friends had no corporation and hence no legal status to do business in Mexico. There are several attitudes that cause problems for Americans who are trying to do business or buy homes in Mexico:
1. Party mentality. It should be possible to go on vacation in Puerto Penasco and make some money on the side. Not likely. Jim and his friends made the mistake of trying to mix vacation with business. This is an (only slightly) exaggerated situation, but I have met many, many Americans who seem to feel that they are on vacation as soon as they cross the border. This greatly hinders their ability to conduct any sort of business transaction.
2. Greed. Great bargains in Mexico can be picked up likes shells on the beach. Not true. They can be found, but it takes times and effort to make a sound investment. Larry and Rita Marino had rented a beachfront condo in Rocky Point for several years. They decide if they could buy one. The owner of the one next door happened to be there one weekend when they were and told them he'd like to sell. The price was right, and they agreed to buy it. Rita asked when they could meet with a notario to close the transaction. The owner said “Oh, we don't have to do that. It cost too much. Just give me the money and I'll have over the title. That's how is done in Mexico. Three months later Larry and Rita Returned and found their condo occupied by another family who claimed to have bought it from the same owner. He had to return to the U.S and could not be located.
3. Ignorance. That's the way it's done in Mexico. Not if it's done right. People who say this are usually trying to cut corners. Buyers should always check the details of proposed transactions or engage a reputable person to check for them. Larry and Rita gave money for the purchase of property to a complete stranger without an office or an established business. They allowed their greed to overcome their business sense and failed to follow proper procedure or even to find out what to proper procedure was.
Buying property in Mexico.
If you are an American or Canadian wanting to buy property in Mexico, here are some tips for you.
1. When you arrive in Mexico, turn off your vacation attitude and turn on your business brain. You will do better if you aren't distracted by margaritas and fun.
2. When buying property, do it right. In Puerto Penasco foreign individuals can purchase residential property with a bank trust. A Mexican corporation can own property outright, but only for business purpose. These are the only two legal ways of doing it.
3. Get a professional Mexico Real Estate Agent to represent you, preferably a member of the Puerto Penasco Association of Real Estate Agents.

Getting Married in Puerto Penasco, Mexico
We will not consider religious marriage in this article because it is up to the couple to decide if they want to bring their own priest or pastor, if they want to use one of the locals or if they want one of the local agencies. In any case, they will need to observe each particular religion's process to prepare a valid marriage.
Legal marriage in Mexico have to be performed by the Civil Registrar and can be performed between Americans or between one American and one Mexican, or one American and one citizen of another Country (Foreigner), or between a Mexican and a Foreigner.
Mexico has an international agreement with the USA to avoid having U.S. citizen provide the standard long list of requirements to get married. Foreigners do need to provide additional information and wait longer periods of time. Here's an example:
1. American-American.They only need to have a tourist visa (FMT) which is granted in Immigration for $20.00 dollars, ID, a copy of their birth certificate, and pay the Civil Registrar's fee (around $150.00 dollars).
2. American-Mexican.In this case, the requirements include, in addition to those stated before, an authorization from Immigration, which can be obtained at the local Immigration office for about $270 dollars.
3. American-Foreigner.The American will only need the list in the first paragraph. The foreigner will need the requirements on the second paragraph, just that the authorization form Immigration has to come with a long list of documents and has to come from Mexico City , for which there is a waiting period.
4. Mexican-Foreigner.The foreigner will need to have the same requirements as in the last paragraph.
Not all States in Mexico have approved same sex marriages, but some, like in Mexico City, have already opened to that possibility, since early last year. Puerto Penasco has not yet authorized that option.
A Mexican marriage license is even valid in USA. Therefore, if you are thinking of marrying in Mexico for fun and in USA forever, you may want think twice and consider prenuptials. Prenuptials are an option rarely offered by resorts and agencies, and an important choice to keep in mind.
If the attendant is already legally married elsewhere, that fact could generate an illegal marriage (the second marriage is null and void); and if the bride and groom are not the same that got married before, these could be legal prosecution for bigamy. In other words, regardless of your thoughts and feelings, consult an attorney before getting married in Mexico.

In other words, regardless of your thoughts and feelings, consult an attorney before getting married in Mexico.

Ecological Conservation Efforts in Rocky Point
Day by day, the subject of the environment and natural resources is becoming part of daily life at the worldwide level and this is no coincidence of fad.
Some years ago, no one spoke about global warming or the accelerated disappearance of wild plant and animal species. Nonetheless, during the last 100 years, the index of destruction in our planet has exceeded that which had occurred during the last 10,000 years. Problem such as deforestation, fires, pollution, over-exploitation of water, the growth of cities, demographic explosion, are, among many others, factors that are affecting the well-being of nature and the balance of the world's ecosystems.
Environmental education whose purpose is to inform on nature's relevant aspects to change people's life styles and to improve behavior as regards the use of natural resources came about. Also, the term “Education for Conservation” was developed. This term involves issues beyond nature, such as its relationship with mankind, understanding that mankind can not prosper without taking care of nature, as interdependent beings of connected entities.
Lastly, what these two educational currents intend is penetrating into the portion of human conscience, that portion which unconsciously guides behavior. If a bit of respect for the environment is taught, it will not be necessary to “force” people though laws or punishments, to do some good to the world or nature.
Among the many efforts made by governments, institutions and private parties to reinforce that environmental awareness are environmental campaigns that spread the information in the media and which are addressed sometimes erroneously to minors, under the argument that they are the future of the planet, despite the fact that it is not taken into account whether we adults are making rational use or not of the natural resources. Minors still have a long way to go until they can put into practice that which they are being taught in school; therefore, all of us are users of nature, notwithstanding our age, beliefs, social status, or the work we do.
To exemplify one of the efforts made to increase environmental awareness, it suffices with becoming acquainted with the El Pinacate and Great Altar Desert Biosphere Reserve. As of the moment visitors come into it, they are provided with information on the benefits of having a biosphere reserve containing unequalled natural landscapes, unique Sonoran Desert Plant and animal species, and most of all, a volcanic shield with very special formation features.
Thus, the need to protect the desert as an ecosystem, that is, the biotic environment (landscapes, soil, rocks, sand, water, etc.) is furthered in the visitor's minds, as well as this ecosystem's live or biotic portion (wild plants and animals).
People can also be made aware through a negative message, which actually is the reserve psychological appeal, that is, by showing the damages causes to the environment through photos, videos or models with abhorrent alterations due to misuse and the destruction endured by our planet.
This causes a reaction which forces people to worry about the environment, but we believe that better stimulation can be achieved by convincing and justifying than by creation an emotional shock.
Every day we are being subject to informational stress with unfortunate news and news about ecocides. It would be better for us to change our strategy and further appreciation for nature and the good things it give to us. Let's show the encouraging future we will be able to obtain by using natural resources in a rational and sustained way. Let's enjoy nature and let's not intend to vanquish or appropriate it. That is the daily philosophy we wish to share with our visitors to the El Pinacate and Great Altar Desert Biosphere Reserve.

Steps Toward Easier Investment in Puerto Penasco
Puerto Penasco will take another step toward development in the next months with the establishment of the development center, in which federal, state, and local formalities will be processed in one sole office, thus eliminating the bothersome and deleterious red tape which inhibits everything.
This new office will take care and provide guidance to whoever intends to establish a company, so that it will not only receive paperwork, assured Francisco Diaz Brown, Secretary of Economy of the Government of Sonora.
The objective of this new center is to facilitate a business environment within the municipalities, development, and competitiveness of companies. Consulting services and training courses will be provided to put the necessary tools to develop businesses at the fingertips of entrepreneurs.
What is most important is that the window of the rapid attention of businesses system will be put into operation to process the formalities for establishing new businesses. The state official announced that the development offices's objective will be providing integral services to businesses. For such purpose, Diaz Brown, recently headed a regional meeting with Directors of Economic Development of the municipalities of San Luis Rio Colorado, Puerto Penasco, Mexico, General Plutarco Elias Calles, and Caborca.
Before the representatives of the region's municipalities he stated that presently there is confusion as regards the formalities which take place at the centers for the Rapid Establishment of Companies (CARE) and the offices of the Rapid Attention of Businesses System (SARE). SARE and CARE are programs created by the Federal Government to facilitate to the maxium degree possible, mercantile, business and business management activities; the former commits the competent governmental authority to issue the registration document that enables to exercise trade formally in a very brief period of time, whereas the latter, CARE, was created to simplify processes and formalities for establishing micro, small and medium companies, joining the Federal, state and local governments for the purpose of providing to the business community, an integral service for the establishment of different types of commercial, industrial or service companies.
All of this will be concentrated in the Business Development Centers and the one in Puerto Penasco ( Rocky Point, Mexico ) will be particularly important due to its constant flow of domestic and foreign investments. An office with these futures already operates in Hermosillo , the capital, and now the State Government is requesting the participation of the majors to start operating such offices in all of the aforementioned municipalities.
During the regional meeting, which was attended by Heriberto Renteria Sanchez, major of Puerto Penasco, the Secretary of Economy explained in detail the Liaison, Promotion, Support to Entrepreneurs, Training and Consulting Services, Financing, and Financial Support programs that form part of said agency.
Diaz Brown invited the region's directors of economic development to request development opportunities for the establishment and growth of companies in their respective municipalities. In Puerto Penasco, it is increasingly easy and simple to obtain licenses and permits for business activities thanks to the complementary efforts of the local, state and federal governments.
Thus, Puerto Penasco is consolidating as one of the most attractive places for domestic and foreign investment, reason due to which business people of the United States and Canada have set their ayes on this Sonoran municipality that, without the shadow of a doubt, is registering one of the highest development indexes of northern Mexico.

Puerto Penasco will have its Home Port
The Holland America shipping company revealed that in three years, with the construction of a Cruise Ship Home Port, Puerto Penasco will be taking another step to become a world-class tourist destination.
Holland America is planning to have one cruise ship a week on the Sea of Cortez route as of 2011, stated Simon Douwes, Planning and Scheduling Director, who recently confirmed that at the latest in three years, Puerto Penasco will become the site for the arrival and departure of cruise ships.
Plans are to make between 50 and 60 trips in the “World's Aquarium”, departing from Puerto Penasco to Guaymas, Loreto, La Paz and Topolobampo, and then, returning to the port of departure.
He stated that the Sea of Cortez route is excellent for the company, because in only seven days they can go to six Mexican ports, which will provide a myriad of attractions.
On the other hand, the coordinator of the Commission for the Development of Tourist of the State Government, Epifanio Salido Pavlovich, explained that initially there will be a 14 day route that will depart from San Diego, California, and will travel to Rocky Point, then Guaymas, and the tour will conclude in the port of embarkation.
Representatives of Holland America and Carnival Corporation recently visited the area of Sandy Beach, where they intend to locate the cruise ship terminal in Puerto Penasco.
An assessment on the technical feasibility of building the wharf in this area of Rocky Point, Mexico was conducted with good results. Possible attractions in that area that could be provided to cruise ship customers were analyzed within the plans to set-up the Home Port. Some of these attractions are the Visitor Center of the “El Pinacate” Biosphere Reserve which is another option that can be provided to nautical tourists.
Government sources said that the Home Port project in Puerto Penasco is looking for the appropriate conditions to remain as the Sea of Cortez cruise ship route, while at the same time duly caring for the environment and furthering a sustainable activity through ecological balance.
On October 16, the first tourist cruise ship owned by Holland America arrived in Guaymas, Sonora, while the second one arrived on November 15. in both cases, 1,200 tourists enjoyed the region's attractions.
A “home port” is a port of arrival, or rather, the site where cruises begin and end. It is something Mexico had never had up to now. This benefit will also include Puerto Penasco once the construction of the Home Port is completed a few kilometers from the US border.
The Government of Sonora, the Florida and Caribbean Cruise Association ( FCCA ), and the Coordination General of Ports and Merchant Marine, a body belonging to the Department of Communications and Transportation ( SCT ) entered into negotiations to make this project come true.

Banking Solutions For Rocky Point Real Estate
In order to make good businesses, money is not the only thing which is required, many other things are necessary. One of them, perhaps the most important, is a full knowledge of the winding road of legal issues and procedures in a complex market such as that of Rocky Point Real Estate.
To achieve this, Puerto Peñasco already has the solution: a fiduciary service with external consultant of Banco Interacciones, so that investors may take firm steps, even in turbulent times such as those presently being experienced throughout the world.
And it so happens that the key is in this bank's philosophy, besides a deep knowledge and professional attitude in all the services it provides, since its representative in Puerto Penasco, Mexico, Cesar Salazar, in principle states that “our future will change proportionally, in accordance with our attitude and capacity to adapt to the changes which are occurring presently”.
In a conversation with the representative of Banco Interacciones explains the features of the strategic service provided for the tourist Rental Properties in Puerto Penasco business which is outstanding in this region of northwest Mexico.
Fundamentally, fiduciary services to provide solutions for the operation of the present tourist business. We can not think that the solutions provided 2 years ago will work today; therefore, we must up-date our knowledge, we must learn to operate in the present tourist world.
We have to grow as professionals, change old paradigms. Life is constant learning and growth in order to bring about business associations that will enable to make projects more profitable, this attracting foreign investors that wish to acquire Rocky point Real Estate on Sonoran Beaches.
We firmly believe that the business world operates just like nature, which moves through cycles or seasons. There are springs, summers, falls and winters and all of them fulfill a specific purpose. Presently, perhaps we are experiencing a harsh summer with a draught and perhaps this summer is giving us an uncomfortable feeling which we had not contemplated and we were not prepared for it.
Nonetheless, this should teach all of us who in one way or another are in this sector (tourism) that we must be prepared for these bad seasons; prepare ourselves better as regards what we are doing; provide our services more effectively; become better professionals, or be more professional in the provision of our services.
Every business is based on solving needs or problems. We must understand that due to diverse situations, the tourist business in 2008 operates very differently from tourism in previous years.
Therefore, if our function as services providers is to solve needs or problems, we must then realize that the way of solving those needs or problems is different.
We must provide solutions to the operation of the present tourist business. We can not think that the solutions of two years ago will work presently. Therefore, we must up-date our knowledge; we must learn to function in the present tourist world; grow as professionals; change old paradigms. Life is learning and growing constantly.
Our future will change proportionally, in accordance with our attitude and capacity to adapt to the changes which are occurring presently and which are not exclusive of the tourist business. It can be seen in all branches of economy, such as agriculture, livestock breeding, fuels, etc.
Once, during a conference of a well-known Mexican businessman I heard that “if there are no waves, any sailor is a captain.” Changes or storms that are presently posing problems represent opportunities for each of us to grow as a persons and professionals. The difficult situation we are experiencing at present, will be a sieve like the one used by brick layers or bread makers, but in our case will make opportunists run and the true professionals and entrepreneurs will become established and grow.

Major Indicators - Bright Future of Puerto Penasco
Our Little community of Rocky point Rentals has experienced an incredible ride. It has become known internationally as a tourist destination that will continue to develop into the future. The majority of the impressive growth has been led by the sales of condos, single family homes, and even raw land. There are several strong indicators that the positive growth cycle will continue, placing us on even more radar screens. Simply ponder the amount of time and money put into studying growth trends; market futures; and touristic patterns, by any major hotel group when looking to invest millions in a new destination market. Now think about these researchers representing the Marriott hotel group. The Marriott Penasco Bay is a 28 story 265 room four diamond resort. This is such a huge statement as they obviously didn´t choose Puerto Penasco overnight, or without knowing something. The feasibility analysis done by an empire like Marriott looks into so many aspects of the demands of seasoned first class travelers, that if Penasco was not positioned for stardom we would not see their logo on our horizon.
Another impressive indicator of international success is the selection of Rocky Point has a major home port for several large cruise ship companies. Representatives from cruise lines like Holland America, Princess and Carnival have all been here, and Mexico´s federal government has approved Rocky Point as a major hub in a joint effort as the result of many discussions among the experts. We have been receiving a lot of attention from the leaders of Mexico and many of Mexico´s most prominent investors. Obviously now, investors from all over the world have been watching Puerto Peñasco, Mexico.
Studies indicate that the future looks bright here because Rocky Point sits less than four hours from several major U.S. metropolitan areas with proven retirement markets. Take the similar climate to those already respected, retirement magnates add our beautiful Beachfront Rental Properties in Puerto Penasco and lower cost of living and one starts to see where the excitement is coming from. The huge number of soon to be retirees speak volumes in terms of future demand. This group of over 25,000 people a year is an astounding number looking to retire. Between now and 2025, there will be a baby boomer retiring every 16 seconds. While 2030 will be the peak year of boomer retirement, the first year of baby boomers (born in 1946) turn 62 this year; many of which are now retiring and taking advantage of a record level of leisure income. Many of these people will look to the beaches of Mexico to spend their golden years. The draw of rocky Point is that it is one of the few superb beachfront markets that will support both drive-in traffic and air travelers. There are many dynamics of this that will lead to a surge in retirees. To many, the close proximity to large U.S. cities, where they can go to monthly appointments or various hometown cultural events is important. The airlines will allow other family and friends ease of access. Many have already discovered that while the healthcare system in U.S. continues to struggle, Mexico´s healthcare is rapidly accelerating into one worth the trip south. One can expect the advances in Mexico´s healthcare to continually draw visitors south more and more. With insurance providers now servicing so many from the north, more large companies will enter the market, and the cycle here will continue to expand as the international audience grows.
About ten years ago there were no condo projects with more than 100 units. In 2000 there was only one project of any large scale. This all changed, and now Sandy Beach alone has about 3,000 condos sold, and over 30 condo towers have been completed. The feeding frenzy was wild and we enjoyed a great cycle as the town morphed itself into a resort destination. Then, because the economic situation affecting so many investors, we shifted into a buyer´s market. It would be irresponsible to say that the correction period has fully completed its course as no one has found that crystal ball yet. It would however be safe to say with confidence that there are some great bargains to be found in the Rocky Point area. Plain and simple, there are people that need out. Much like the buyer´s market sought after by successful investors in so many U.S. communities, we are ripe for the next phase of our cycle. There are properties in every market segment that are priced many thousands of dollars below the ¨List Prices¨. You just have to know how to find those bargains. It truly does come down to representation. Who is representing you? In Mexico, like in the United States, there is a National Association of Realtors. In the last few years we have come along way in regards to communication, ethical practices and working on the development of an MLS system. It is because of this and our mandate that all of our members are licensed, that we have been welcomed into NAR, the same international organization you would likely seek for representation in the U.S. In order to truly guarantee satisfactory representation you need to secure the representation of an AMPI professional. AMPI agents are NAR Realtors, registered at the state level, and are the only real estate association endorsed by the federal government.
Historically, Rocky Point Real Estate is one of the safest investments you can make as it is scarce by nature. No more land will be created. Even more scarce is land found near the beach. This is way in the long term, Rocky Point is destined to be an international real estate success story, and the big money is already starting to see the opportunity.
There are new improved mortgage money programs with reasonable rates allowing people to take advantage of the current opportunities. Some people are turning self directed IRAs into real estate investments in and around Rocky Point. Others have chosen to split ownership on properties with friends, family members or other investment groups. There are even reverse mortgages out there allowing homeowners to simply turn equity from one home into equity in another. If one truly wants an investment that they can enjoy Puerto Peñasco is certainly a worthy alternative to the less than predictable stock market.
Within a year, an international airport will be open in Rocky Point and a new costal highway will extend south and east from Tijuana , through Rocky Point, to beyond Guaymas. These geographic factors alone will bring many thousands of new visitors to this area, and a profound positive influence on the economy. Rocky Point is a great place for anyone interested in owning a second home or a secure investment that allows one to stay at and enjoying their portfolio.

About ten years ago there were no condo projects with more than 100 units. In 2000 there was only one project of any large scale. This all changed, and now Sandy Beach alone has about 3,000 condos sold, and over 30 condo towers have been completed. The feeding frenzy was wild and we enjoyed a great cycle as the town morphed itself into a resort destination. Then, because the economic situation affecting so many investors, we shifted into a buyer´s market. It would be irresponsible to say that the correction period has fully completed its course as no one has found that crystal ball yet. It would however be safe to say with confidence that there are some great bargains to be found in the Rocky Point area. Plain and simple, there are people that need out. Much like the buyer´s market sought after by successful investors in so many U.S. communities, we are ripe for the next phase of our cycle. There are properties in every market segment that are priced many thousands of dollars below the ¨List Prices¨. You just have to know how to find those bargains. It truly does come down to representation. Who is representing you? In Mexico, like in the United States, there is a National Association of Realtors. In the last few years we have come along way in regards to communication, ethical practices and working on the development of an MLS system. It is because of this and our mandate that all of our members are licensed, that we have been welcomed into NAR, the same international organization you would likely seek for representation in the U.S. In order to truly guarantee satisfactory representation you need to secure the representation of an AMPI professional. AMPI agents are NAR Realtors, registered at the state level, and are the only real estate association endorsed by the federal government.
Historically, Rocky Point Real Estate is one of the safest investments you can make as it is scarce by nature. No more land will be created. Even more scarce is land found near the beach. This is way in the long term, Rocky Point is destined to be an international real estate success story, and the big money is already starting to see the opportunity.
There are new improved mortgage money programs with reasonable rates allowing people to take advantage of the current opportunities. Some people are turning self directed IRAs into real estate investments in and around Rocky Point. Others have chosen to split ownership on properties with friends, family members or other investment groups. There are even reverse mortgages out there allowing homeowners to simply turn equity from one home into equity in another. If one truly wants an investment that they can enjoy Puerto Peñasco is certainly a worthy alternative to the less than predictable stock market.
Within a year, an international airport will be open in Rocky Point and a new costal highway will extend south and east from Tijuana , through Rocky Point, to beyond Guaymas. These geographic factors alone will bring many thousands of new visitors to this area, and a profound positive influence on the economy. Rocky Point is a great place for anyone interested in owning a second home or a secure investment that allows one to stay at and enjoying their portfolio.

Aquatic Wildlife in Puerto Penasco, Mexico
More sea turtles and nests found in area Stressing importance of species for region.
Ever since the legacy of “Peñasquita”, the first hawksbill turtle adorned with a satellite transmitter to track information concerning her migratory route and nesting grounds, released into the Eastern Pacific on October 24 th, more turtles and nests have been found in Puerto Penasco.
This stresses the regional importance of this group of very charismatic organisms.
Paloma Valdivia Jimenez, education coordinator of the Intercultural Center of Desert and Oceans (CEDO) reported via press release that last month staff from Playa Encanto came across a young Pacific Ridley turtle with a shell measuring just 30 centimeters in length. Unfortunately, this turtle was quite sick and later died.
Valdivia Jimenez indicated that shortly thereafter a tourist came across a young Black Sea Turtle near Playa de Oro.
Furthermore, she added, just recently a Hawksbill Turtle was found at Playa Miramar, which also just a young sample! This turtle is currently recuperating from a slight illness at the CETMAR Aquarium and will be released around the same place where it was found.
The CEDO official added that generally, the Northern Gulf of California is feeding grounds for sea turtles, although it is known that some species occasionally nest in Puerto Peñasco.
“In fact, although no nest had been fully completed given the extreme climate conditions of the region, during the last 3 years there have been reports of nesting along different beaches,” she explained.
Nevertheless, this year the sea turtle nests have been in luck! Two nests of the Pacific Ridley turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), and one of the Black sea turtle (Chelonia mydas agassizii), reported at Playa Encanto and Playa Miramar, respectively, hatched young ones successfully. Coincidentally, the young turtles were born on precisely the same day of Peñasquita's release.
Paloma Valdivia indicated that up to now, the importance of the Northern Gulf of California for young sea turtles had not received much reporting, which is a very important point within conservation efforts of organizations on a global level.
She stressed that while in Rocky Point it is necessary to take care of the beaches where nests have been detected, it is much more important to protect the feeding grounds at sea, as turtles spend many years there and their reproductive success does not only depend on the environmental health of the site where they are born, but rather the sites where they grow.
“Remember that we all can contribute to the conservation of turtles! If you want to help, pick up trash found on the beach, report any fishing or consumption of the sea turtles to PROFEPA, and inform CEDO if you come across a nest or a turtle on the beach. Only together can we help prevent their extinction,” stressed the press release.
