How will the rental market in the US affect our real estate market in Mexico?

According to the realtormag online, renters may grow by 6 million in the next decade.

Will the incessant baby boomers be renting or investing in Mexico during the freezing winter months NOTB?
Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit area has proven to be affordable for the budget minded retirees.  They find the area to have very good health care, safe and easily accessed by air.

So who will be buying a condo or a home in Mexico to secure their home in the sun and to take advantage of the rising rental market?

To brand or not to brand!

Well it's been over a week since my last post, I was too busy enjoying my life here in Mexico.

There is not enough time in a day or will there be in a life time to accomplish my projects but I always seem to find a window of opportunity to be entertained.

Three businesses really highlighted my week because they stand apart from the other competitors. They defined themselves because of who they are, what they do and how they do it for me.  They leave an impression and they are the ones that come on top and these are my referrals for this entry:


I recommend the Signature Swim with the dolphins!!


Cross fit Bucerias



After all work and play, experience a lovely dinner in an enchanted setting marked by professional service and amazing food!

Generational marketing! Selling and buying properties in Mexico.

 This post is an excerpt from a course called "Understanding Generational Marketing", at point2 university.

Although many resources define the years a little differently, usually a few years before or after the ones defined here, these year ranges are a good indicator of the dominant generational groups:
Traditionalists - born 1925-1945
Baby Boomers - born 1945-1964
Gen X - born 1965-1980
Gen Y - born 1981-2000
Gen Z - born 2001 and after

Traditionalists also called Civics

Born in the years 1925-1945, Traditionalists are currently in the "golden years" of their lives, although they still comprise a dominant force in the real estate market.  They may be looking to downgrade to a smaller home, move to a retirement community, invest in a property closer to family or hobbies, or may even be looking to expand their home size to accommodate family who have decided to move in with them!

Baby Boomers

Born during the years of 1946-1964, members of this generation are called Baby Boomers due to a large increase of babies being born post-WWII when the economy was on the upswing, traditional family units were having more kids, and things were hopeful in society.

Gen X

Generation X (1965-1980) is comprised of individuals born between 1965-1980.  This group is sometimes known as Baby Busters, as the previous baby boom decreased and families were getting smaller due to both parents working, decreases in overall societal prosperity, and the standard of living increasing in cost.

Gen Y

Generation Y (1981-2000) is a key part of the real estate market right now, as they are purchasing homes, growing families, or looking for change.

Gen Z also called the millennium  generation

Generation Z (2001 and beyond) are too young for the marketplace right now, but don't underestimate their power during the sales cycle!


Each group has particular life experiences, characteristics and traits which makes marketing and selling very specific.  How we approach, market to, and sell each of these groups will differ, dependent on what they are expecting and needing from us as real estate professionals.
