''Casa Paradise'' is a Vallartense-style villa that has been expanded and substantially renovated over the last eight years by its owners who've carefully retained its authenticity within the Bucerias community. This is a rare find of a large home set on a huge residential lot in the heart of the Zona Dorada, just two blocks from two protected beach accesses and amidst the popular restaurants, galleries and boutiques. It's an oasis of tranquility and rustic elegance. Among its increased spaces is a charming one bedroom/one bathroom casita--rendering superb function and liveability, and complementing main home's three bedrooms and 2-1/2 bathrooms.Practically all surfaces have been refinished and modernised, along with refitting of plumbing and electrical installations.

The lifestyle around this property.
How buyers — including foreigners — finance and own real estate in Mexico. Figures are typical ranges; your HOMIA advisor confirms your exact case.
NEW / pre-construction developments often offer direct plans (down payment + monthly during construction). Resales are usually cash or mortgage. Ask us whether this property qualifies.
U.S. and Canadian buyers can finance through cross-border lenders: typically 30–50% down and 15–25 year terms.
Most buyers pay cash. It's also possible to use self-directed retirement accounts (SDIRA) to invest in Mexican real estate.
Foreigners buy in the coastal zone through a bank trust with full ownership rights (sell, rent, inherit). Approx. $500–800 USD/year.
Closing costs run about 5–8% of the price (acquisition tax, notary, registry and trust setup).
Annual property tax in Mexico is a fraction of the U.S./Canada — often just a few hundred dollars per year.
Well-located condos typically generate 8–12% annually in vacation rentals (Airbnb/VRBO) depending on area and season.
Estimate for a cross-border mortgage (U.S./Canada buyers). Adjust the numbers — it's an estimate, not an offer.
