The best place to give a house as a gift to mom

After living in the CDMX or any other large city in the country for more than 30 or 40 years, having an active working life, you find yourself fed up with the population dynamics, density, traffic, the possible chaos and speed with which the capital of the country is carried out minute by minute. 

Thinking about retirement should be synonymous with housing in your ideal place, just as buying a retirement home in a different city should be synonymous with ease. That is why the alohome platform took on the task of analyzing the main destinations where mom could live in retirement and forget about the hustle and bustle of the city or where she could invest in a home to increase her wealth and have an extra income for the future.  

Which cities do we recommend for retirement? 

Nuevo Vallarta

One would think that it is a destination dedicated to both domestic and foreign tourism; however, we find certain real estate developments that represent an opportunity for old age and profitable investment and constantly increasing. We can find apartments from approximately 65 m2 to those with more than 110 m2. 

There are many examples of construction companies that are building housing complexes, to mention a few, the developer 3i3 is offering properties that have two bedrooms and two bathrooms mostly up to 4 and 4. The ticket starts at 5.3 million pesos and you can find apartments up to just over 8 million pesos. 

The advantage of living in a development of this type is that you have all the comforts, tranquility and accessibility to endless services. Life at sea level will always give you health benefits and above all a great return on the investment made, that is, you recover in less time the resources allocated.

Southeast National

The Yucatan Peninsula is experiencing a real estate boom, Merida, Riviera Maya and more are added to the great investment and housing opportunity that is being built in this geography. 

We have to evaluate the cost/benefit of an investment in a beach destination, making it a few years prior to retirement is extremely profitable, since you have double profit, that is, you can use it as a second home and more if you do remote or hybrid work. You can also rent it while you reach the age to rest and enjoy your old age in a quiet way and at sea level.

In this aspect, Yucatan has presented a growth above the national average in the last 20 years, besides being one of the safest cities, according to INEGI statistics, making it the perfect city to rest.

Developers such as Boma have facilitated the acquisition of lots for the construction of housing, always respecting environmental regulations and facilitating the procedures at the time of purchase digitally.

The offer in the southeast of Mexico is varied, complexes such as Nodo in Tulum, Yucatan Country Lakes or Kumay in Merida and Eskina in Playa del Carmen are examples of a great housing or retirement investment opportunity. These developments are designed to have access to all the services and that the inhabitants have all the amenities at their fingertips. The prices of an apartment in the area start at 1.8 million pesos and a little more than 65 square meters. On the other hand, it is possible to acquire a lot and start construction from approximately 950 thousand pesos and have more than 250 square meters," said Orozco.

Silao, Puerto Peñasco and Santa Catarina

Guanajuato, Sonora and Nuevo Leon have increased their real estate offer, attracting the attention of Mexicans and foreigners. The large investments being made in these states make them attractive places to invest or live.

The three cities are relevant, the decentralization of housing is a reality and opting for a home in another entity is a great decision. For example, in Santa Catarina a large investment by a North American company was announced, this will trigger in the coming months the need for a place to live. 

Vivia is a developer that offers real estate in Santa Catarina, the properties range from $2.9 million pesos and have dimensions of little more than 75 square meters.

In recent years, Puerto Peñasco and Silao have been characterized by high demand from foreigners, but this is not exclusive, as domestic demand is also present. 

In both municipalities the real estate offer is attractive, with information from alohome, we found that there are developments ranging from just over 160 square meters and with a value of 3.7 million pesos or in the case of Puerto Peñasco where there are new homes with dimensions of more than 210 square meters and a value close to 8 million pesos.

From alohome we think that investing in real estate, specifically in housing, whether to live, enjoy retirement or make a gift to mom, is one of the best options that anyone can have. Thinking about retirement is fundamental, besides increasing your patrimony, investing in housing will always be safe despite the volatility or economic situations that the country is going through.
