We never share our contacts with anyone, ever.
The buying process is very similar to that in the US or Canada. Once you find a home that is perfect for you, we negotiate a purchase with the seller using a format very similar to one in the US. You pay a refundable earnest money deposit and we have the home inspected, checked out legally, and review all ownership documents during the due diligence period. Once you are satisfied, you make your down payment and the remainder of the purchase price at closing.
During the closing process, we must work with both the government and the bank for the title, we estimate that closing will take 3 to 4 months. Our Real Estate team will guide you throughout this process to guarantee the certainty of your investment.
Some important differences include:Whether you purchase real estate in the U.S. or Mexico, Del Mar Real Estate recommends Title Insurance for every property you purchase. We insure our cars, homes, and health — it is just as important to insure one of your largest investments: your property. Title Insurance is available for properties in Mexico purchased by U.S., Canadian and Mexican citizens.
Our Del Mar Real Estate team will provide comparable sold home statistics that will support the price of every purchase you make. They have public and private sold information dating back 25 years and know the market, trends, and advisors to ensure that you make the best choice for your family.
There are two taxes you will pay when you buy a home in Mexico. The first is the Acquisition Tax (ISABI), which is 2% of the total registered purchase price. Typically, notaries calculate the tax to be 2.1% to allow for peso/dollar exchange rate variances. This tax is paid upon purchase and becomes part of your Cost Basis making it fully deductible if you decide to sell your property in the future.
The second tax is Property Tax (PREDIAL), which is very low in Mexico. Property Tax is not based on the purchase price; it is based on the property tax value assigned to the area in which the property is located and the size of the property.
In the event you are selling your home, the Notary will calculate the Seller’s capital gains tax based on the purchase price, in Mexican Pesos, at the time of acquisition. This information is indicated on the deed of title. The notary then adds to the Seller’s original purchase price the cost of any construction or remodel (original facturas/receipts required) as well as the closing costs the Seller paid at the time of purchase. After applying annual inflationary credit and construction depreciation factors, the resultant cost basis is determined. The Notary then determines the capital gains tax (ISR) by subtracting the cost basis, as well as the sale’s commission from the sale price, to obtain the ‘gain’, which is taxed at 35%.
Every person entering Mexico is obligated to obtain a tourist visa for up to 180 days, which does not include permission to work. This visa is provided by immigration officials upon arrival to Mexico. If people wish to stay or live indefinitely in Mexico for periods longer than six months, whether or not they have acquired property, they must apply for a visa at the Mexican consulate in their home country. This is typically a simple process when work is not involved. Both permanent and temporary resident visas are available, with the latter being the easiest to obtain. In order to purchase property, the buyer is obligated to have legal immigration status in Mexico.
We have built more than 250 homes here in Los Cabos and are experts at making the process seamless. In our nearly 30 years we have amassed countless testimonials of owners who have built a home with us. We use American and Mexican architects, builders, and engineers, and the process is similar to that in the US. We’ll find the right home location for you and then design a custom home based on your desires. Robert Jones, the head of our Construction Division, has been personally involved in building each of the homes here. His expertise is invaluable.
