Baja Mexico Real Estate Becoming Popular
By Taylor White
Baja Mexico property has become a popular option as many people purchase second homes or utilize this region as a destination for tourism. However property investing here is affordable and plentiful.
Baja Mexico property is growing in value and continues to be one of the best locations to buy in Mexico. For those who visited the region in the past, and who are returning to call it home, real estate in Baja is still relatively affordable and readily available, though the continued increase in population here has led to numerous reductions in available inventory. Options in property here range from highly affordable to luxurious and expensive. In some areas, the property is the most expensive in the country.
Baja, more formally known as Baja California, is one of 31 states in the country of Mexico. It is on the northernmost and westernmost area of Mexico, on the Baja Peninsula. With a population of 3.1 million people, the region is large and growing. It sits right on the Pacific Ocean, near to the United States, making it an easy destination to get to for Americans. About 75 percent of the state's population lives in the capitol city of Mexicali, or in Ensenada or Tijuana. Each of these areas as well as San Felipe, Playas de Rosarito and Tecate are important to the property market here.
The most valuable of all property is on the coastline. Many people who buy here do so to take advantage of the warm, peaceful Pacific Ocean. Baja real estate for sale in this area offers a wide number of property options, but most are single family homes, townhomes or apartments, with apartments being the most common option for those who are buying from overseas. In addition to this, just outside the larger cities, and in areas such as San Felipe and Tecate, larger homesteads are available. Some of these pose the most value potential depending on their location.
That looking for Baja rentals will find apartments the most commonly available property here, however renting a home, is also possible. Baja Mexico property listings provide a range of options in price ranges, with the most basic facilities being the least expensive. The more remote the location is, the lower the price. However, Baja property for sale continues to build and grow, with some areas seeing a price per square foot of as high as US $2000 in areas where it cost $20 a square foot just 20 years ago. Those buying Baja property are likely to see their investment grow over time, though there is no telling when prices will even out.

Mexican Dispatch: A Quiet Beach Town, Kept That Way by "Tourist" Police
New America Media/PBS NewsHour, News Report, Jose Luis Sierra, Posted: Sep 16, 2010
ROSARITO BEACH, Mexico—Walking or driving down boulevard Benito Juarez, the main street of Rosarito Beach, gives no hints of the struggles this tourist community has been fighting for the past four years.
As the sun sinks over the Pacific Ocean, neon lights advertise hotel rooms at competitive prices. Restaurants from French, Japanese, or local cuisine that offers rabbit, snake, quail, goat or deer meat— as well as the typical hamburger or Mexican menus—entice customers with margarita specials. Bars and discos compete for customers with loud music. If you care to ask, locals will advise you about the best choices.
If things get a little out of hand, "tourist police" will show up and make an effort to help you feel safe.
The town has a population of about 130,000 residents—14,000 of them U.S. citizens living here permanently. It gained fame in the 1920s for being a favorite spot for Hollywood legends like Frank Sinatra and Marilyn Monroe, and now is advertised as the closest place south of the U.S.-Mexico border where tourists can enjoy the good life at affordable prices.
But locals say things have changed, as they recall the period of 2006-2008, when a violent crime was reported on an average every two hours.
Tourism, with a little more than 1 million visitors a year and the main staple of the local economy, has gone down more than 50 percent. Hotels, restaurants and just about every business related to the service industry faced the choice of closing or reducing staff and scaling down operations.
But the final blow came with the burst of the local real estate market bubble, a little more than three years ago.
Nobody saw it coming, after years of brisk sales of condos and villas along Rosarito Beach. There was a splashy announcement that billionaire Donald Trump would lend his name to a lavish coastal condo-hotel project, 10 miles south of the border on the outskirts of the town. Developers took Trump's move as a sign of confidence and began a frenetic pace of construction.
Thousands of U.S. retirees flocked to the area by the busload in search of an opportunity to own beachfront property at prices impossible to find north of the border. As side benefits, they saw the opportunities of a much lower cost of living, low property taxes, and the option of renting out their property when not in use.
"We originally built out our office space to support 30 to 60 agents. And currently we are running around 10, six. So that's basically what the marketing is supporting right now," said David Biondolillo, a real estate agent in charge of a five tower luxury condos by the beach, with prices ranging from the low $200,000 to $460,000.
Happy to get by, and with most of his 600 units already sold, Biondolillo is one of the lucky few. He said that more than 200 projects with permits already approved had to be shut down for lack of financing. That includes the project to which Trump had lent his name. It now resembles an empty pit.
For now, just as in the United States, a new market is emerging. Buyers are beginning to scout for foreclosure properties, or properties that are being offered for 30-40 percent under their original price, as developers scramble to recoup whatever they can from their investments. Still, perception plays a key role in this strategy.
"True, we had a problem with police corruption and crime four years ago, and that's one of the reasons I ran for mayor," said Hugo Torres, just a few months from finishing his second stint in that post. Torres is also owner of the Rosarito Beach Hotel.
"People ask me constantly if Rosarito is safe. My answer is always yes. It is as safe as any other city in the world. It is a matter of common sense. If you deal with drugs or are involved in any type criminal activity, you will never be safe, no matter where you are," said the 74-year-old mayor.

Most Expensive Summer Homes 2010
Just like we are seeing here in Baja real estate, northern Baja second homes and Baja vacation homes are being sought after at an increasing phase.
Since the end of 2009, we have seen an average of thirty Rosarito ocean properties sold every month.
The sales are mostly for oceanfront and ocean view Baja homes and condos, with an average sales price of $250,000 US.
Most of Rosarito and Ensenada's real estate sales are for retirement or future retirement (35%) second or vacation homes (35%), investment (10%) and other reasons (20%).
We are very excited that most Americans are looking into Baja homes and condos again, says Victor Loza, Rosarito's AMPI treasurer.
We are at levels, both in prices and number of sales, as we where in 2003 and 2004.

Encabeza Novelo la AMPI
Por El Vigía, Lorena Lamas
Ensenada, B.C. - Arturo Novelo Ávila rindió protesta como primer presidente de la Asociación Mexicana de Profesionales Inmobiliarios (AMPI), la cual tiene el propósito de aliarse con las autoridades de gobierno para ofrecer a nuevos residentes una Ensenada de calidad.
El acto se realizó ayer en el salón de eventos del hotel Las Rosas a las 9:30 horas y estuvo presente Eduardo Quiroz Tejeda, representante nacional de la AMPI, quien afirmó que Ensenada es la ciudad más atractiva del noroeste del país, porque además de que tiene una ubicación excepcional es un destino para el desarrollo inmobiliario turístico y urbano.
“Creo que para el noroeste es una ciudad que promete mucho, quizá la más interesante o la que ofrece la mayor calidad de vida”, comentó.
Subrayó la necesidad de que el Cabildo abra un espacio para los profesionales inmobiliarios porque tienen mucho que aportar a la ciudad.
“Creo que debemos tener un espacio en Cabildo, porque queremos que la ciudad crezca ordenadamente. El encanto del puerto es como está ahorita, pero si no se administra a través de nosotros, podemos perder parte de ese encanto”, sostuvo.
El representante enumeró las características principales que debe tener una ciudad para alojar a nuevos residentes nacionales y extranjeros entre ellas: servicios de calidad, aeropuerto y garantizar la seguridad.
Fuera de esto, dijo, Ensenada ofrece la pesca, su ecoturismo, región del Valle; “aquí el asunto es cuidar la riqueza que se tiene y si nos dan la oportunidad de intervenir en esa parte, Ensenada va seguir siendo ese destino que quisiéramos que fuera”, insistió.

Merger Creates Baja’s Real Estate Powerhouse
One of Rosarito Beach’s Star Brokers Joins RE/MAX!!!!
One of the largest and most successful independent real estate offices in northern Baja, Your Baja Connection, has joined the RE/MAX network.
Victor Loza, on behalf of his partners in Your Baja Connection, negotiated the merger of their multi-agent office with RE/MAX. Loza along with Don and Sharon Heafey and Miles Smith have owned and operated one of the top producing Real Estate agencies in Baja for the last three years. Victor had the following comment: “We chose RE/MAX over others because it allowed us to place our efforts on our first priority -- helping buyers and sellers accomplish their ultimate goals.”
Gustavo Torres, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Baja Realty had this comment on the merger between Your Baja Connection and RE/MAX; “We are going to see a lot more mergers like this around the country. RE/MAX excels at giving their brokers and agents the most extensive training, the best technology, and the best systems in the real estate industry. In Northern Baja we have experienced an increase in market share as more and more agents have realized the advantages that RE/MAX provides for them, especially in today’s real estate market.”
Loza went on to say, “We won’t need to be involved in the day-to-day operations of an office; instead we’ll be free to do what we do best, and that is interacting with people and helping buyers and sellers achieve their dreams in Baja.” We had a few choices, but after weighing them all, RE/MAX gave us the freedom and the tools we needed to be successful. With RE/MAX we receive an international exposure, marketing tools, a well-established website, and the world-wide recognition that comes from a well-respected company like RE/MAX. We’re very thankful for the warm welcome we’ve received from our new broker and colleagues.”
This merger is part of an ongoing strategy from RE/MAX Baja Realty’s growth initiative that began last year. RE/MAX Baja brokerage was established in 2004 when Rosarito Beach Real Estate, the most successful Rosarito real estate office, became a REMAX office.
“Victor, his partners, and their agents will be a tremendous addition to our expanding team. They have relentless energy and Victor is a nonstop marketing machine,” says Gustavo Torres, Broker/Owner of RE/MAX Baja Realty. “They do whatever it takes to help clients sell or find the homes of their dreams. They don’t simply list a property; they follow through until the home is sold. This level of energy and extra effort is why Your Baja Connection has been a top real estate company and why RE/MAX is the right place for them.”
Sharon Heafey, one of the principals of Your Baja Connection, had the following statement about the merger: “We chose to be affiliated with RE/MAX because of Gustavo Torres’ wonderful background and strong community ties,” adding that “Gustavo has done everything possible to make us feel at home and able to get up and running immediately. The merger gives us the opportunity to provide the highest level of service to our buyers and sellers. We are looking forward to working with the respected professional agents that are part of the RE/MAX network.”
Don Heafey added, “After being involved in real estate in the United States, we moved to Baja and found real estate an exciting opportunity for our clients and ourselves. I look forward to joining the Ensenada office and working with Arturo Novelo and the other professionals there.”
RE/MAX Baja Realty is the second-largest real estate office in Baja and #1 in sales in Rosarito Beach, with over 44 percent of the market. With the addition of Your Baja Connection’s team, RE/MAX Baja Realty is poised to become the leader in Baja California. The firm is an attractive option for real estate agents looking to relocate with a proven successful broker.
“By Your Baja Connection joining RE/MAX, it proves once again that the RE/MAX system is the best for all real estate professionals who want to succeed and operate their own business. Most of all it allows us to work with other successful top professionals,” affirms Ana Minondo, Top Chairman’s award of RE/MAX.
“This is a true merger.” Blanca Guerrero, RE/MAX Baja Popotla office’s president, told the Baja Times Journal. “We chose to be a stronger force, and that says a lot. Instead of cutting costs, we chose to grow.”
