Buying real estate in Mexico is different than the United States. In this interview, Jose Gonzalez, real estate broker with several offices in Mexico talks about Mexico’s cultural differences and how that carries over to the real estate transaction. He also talks about the highway being built from Ixtapa to Acapulco shortening the drive along the Pacific coast from almost 4 hours to 1 1/2. There are also plans to build an airport right in the middle of these two beach destinations increasing the infrastructure in the area. As the US dollar has strengthened against the Mexican peso, real estate in the region has become more affordable.
