I just had a zoom consultation with Jose Novelo and I thought I'd post on this video to recommend him to anyone watching. He's very knowledgeable and friendly. He's more approachable than lawyers you may have worked with in the USA and his business is really a full service deal. Taxes, real estate, immigration law., et cetera. He taught me about the different options available in no time at all
Awesome as usual, Jose!! 🎉🎉 I just closed on a house I bought in Jalisco, MX. And to my great fortune... the exchange rate was 20 pesos to the dollar. So grateful!!! 🇲🇽 ¡¡Viva México!! 🇲🇽
@@_mariorodriguez_ Cash in GDL. If you need a fantastic realtor and notary let me know. Also if you have any questions. May you find your happy home too!! 🎉
Those new houses are beautiful - and priced very highly. A sign of how popular even the less desirable outskirts of Merida have become with people with money.
Correct Merida is becoming a very highly desirable location especially for many Mexicans coming from other parts of Mexico where they can only get an apartment for the price of one of these Large Homes. There are still very reasonably priced homes within city limits as well on the outskirts. As you got to see from the last home we showed, that is what kind of home you can expect for that price range these day. If people are looking for more modern homes like the first ones we showed, well they are availble but also come with modern price tags. Thanks again for sharing with us
@@JoseArteagaTravels Are Mexicans actually buying these 300k homes though? I mean what type of jobs do they have that pay them well enough for that? Or are they just business owners and that's basically it.
Truly, a beautiful country there is so much to do and the people are so nice down there. I’ve been down to the Yucatán Peninsula, all areas of it and what a beautiful part of the country.
Beautiful homes! Thank you for sharing. It appears the workmanship is very well crafted. For the price a comparable in the states depending on area would be at least the same if not a little cheaper. The true advantage for us living up North would be warm to hot weather! So there ya have it! :)
Wow, I love the older version of home, could really feel the authenticity of a real casita…. But the new ones are fantastic… A bit pricey…Thanks for sharing…
Something I have noticed about Mexican kitchens and bathrooms is that they are made for very short people. Sitting on the toilet could be a challenge, standing up also. In Mexican kitchens I have trouble reaching the sink, it's very low. I often hit my head with the kitchen exhaust hood, which is also made for very short cooks.
Yes I agree! But that is not in ALL of Mexico just in certain areas. Here in the Yucatan is where some of the shortest Mexicans reside. But if you go more North or visit a city like Guadalajara you will be surprised by how many people are your size or even taller. It all really depends on where you plan on living in Mexico. If you are a bigger person these are things to consider for sure.
Jose thanks for the video, me and my wife currently live by Tampa Fl, I would love to move out there and possibly get a house. Are this cash buy or do they do finance like in the states???
The last home in this video is one of the older more affordable homes you are looking for. With that said I am currently working on the next video in this series and we will be showing you guys more of those older more affordable homes. Also if you watch the real estate playlist i made there are some older homes in there too. Here is a link to that playlist ruclips.net/p/PLba73fMQ0PMgZhWiSwZXEsZn5hTGi-W6p
Merida is said to be one of the safest cities. But it is super hot and humid. I heard that Queretaro is safer and has more infrastructure and job opportunities, but it has gotten very expensive.
@JoseArteagaTravels Well, you said you are from Cuba originally. Interesting. I'll watch more of your content in the days to come. Keep up the good work
The nice homes were cool but the last house just seemed more private. Would love to see homes with acreage for mangoes avos gardening etc. Thanks 4 sharing
Mexico is heaven on earth! Cost of living is so much cheaper than in USA everything is cheaper in Mexico than in USA it has the most amazing beautiful beach resorts it's warm and hot people are very nice and sweet and friendly they use English it's way more freer than the USA it has free healthcare and free education everything is so much more relaxed and chill in Mexico. It's heaven on earth!
I totally understand that information is in the listing. For more detailed information on each of the properties, please feel free to check out the links to the listings provided in the description of the video.
The first few homes are very nice but out of my budget. House #3 could work. That room in the back would make a nice master with an opening in the wall to the bathroom and close up the haul entrance. If they did that it would be perfect!
I will keep that in mind for future tours! The last home in this video is one of those homes minus the large backyard. I will be making many more of these videos and will for sure do a whole video on more affordable homes in the area
@@Peter-m5n7m If you don't see them, and we don't mention them, that means there are none. There are different types of construction depending on what part of the country you are in. It might be more common in colder climates. Either way if you really want them you can add them at your own cost just like any other amenity not included with the base construction
@@JoseArteagaTravels, Perhaps you're only familiar with outdoor kitchens. Otherwise, you would know that without traditional indoor kitchen stove exhaust fans that exhaust cooking odors and smoke while cooking the entire house is stunkup. It appears neither México, nor Merida has legitimate BUILDING CODES... GOT IT!!!
That is correct. I literally have to start a fire in my backyard everyday to cook. With that said glad to hear this video has been so helpful for you in making the decision NOT to come to Mexico. Your welcome
Jose, me encantan tus videos, nadamas una observacion: deja que la gente hable sin interrumpir y bajale a los medicamentos que a lo mejos estas tomando porque estas bien arriba, a lo mejor no lo has notado, pero es demasiado, yeah, yeah, yeha, yeh!!!!
I never hear about what house taxes are. I’m very interested in moving to Mexico. We watch every video on you tube and spend our vacations in Mexico. We would want to buy a house when we do move there. We live in Omaha, NE. Our house taxes are so high here. I think we are 8th in the nation for house taxes. Our house is paid for but if we want to stop working those taxes will kill our budget. We even downsized 6 years ago from 3209 square ft to a new house 1340 sq. Ft. Now our taxes are the same as our last home since house prices have increased!!!
That is a great question! I will make sure to let Jose Novelo know for our next videos to mention how much the property taxes are on the properties. But long story short it is in the hundreds of dollars not thousands. The property taxes here in Mexico are extremely low compared to what they are back home. You will pay more in utilities than you will in taxes. Hope that helps answer your question for now. Thanks again for the suggestion!
I see things are getting very expensive in Mexico including houses!!! It's a beautiful house, but I would most likely never spend that much for a home in Mexico unless it has land...or I would buy land and build my own for that price...just my opinion
Correct Mexico is becoming a very highly desirable location especially for many Mexicans coming from other parts of the country where they can only get an apartment for the price of one of these Large Homes. There are still very reasonably priced homes within city limits as well on the outskirts. As you got to see from the last home we showed, that is what kind of home you can expect for that price range these day. If people are looking for more modern homes like the first ones we showed, well they are availble but also come with modern price tags. Mexico is not a "Cheap" country anymore. As it starts to surpass the USA and Canada in many aspects such as Quality of life it will become even more desirable and even more expensive, especially as the Mexican economy gets stronger and USA and Canada get weaker. I go into more detail on these topics in my videos. Thanks again for sharing with us.
A quick question. If I bought two places next to each other, Destroyed the wall between the backyards and built a skate park, then rented the whole thing out as a Skate themed hotel, what kind of trouble could I expect from local authorities or the neighbours?
You can not do that in a Privada which I s like an HOA. But you can do that in the city with proper planning. Jose Novelo can help you set it all up if interested
I can see all I heard was party and beers. I probably won’t like being so close to noisy neighbors who want to to always party. Those pools do not look big enough to have a party in anyway. Looks more like dipping pools.
Awesome! Thank you so much for sharing with us! We totally agree if noise is going to be a major concern for you then perhaps Mexico is not the place for you. Best to stay in the USA or Canada where you can make noise complaints to your hearts content.
Unless the owners are renting out the houses as short term rentals (airbnbs, etc), noisiness is unlikely to be a major concern in my experience. I've spent a considerable amount of time in various different types of properties in various cities in Mexico and I've found the noisy-Latino stereotype to be false as far as Mexico is concerned. Argentina, on the other hand, is a different story...
do supplies cost more here in the US compared to Mexico or is it the cost of labor that makes this home set at a great price? Wondering why I cant have this in the US
I have no idea what to recommend to a total stranger. But you can go to my website and check out digital nomad jobs I have for you guys to check out. Heres a link www.josearteaga.com/digital-nomad-jobs
These properties are too close to the ocean for a Foreigner to purchase in their name. You have 2 options Either put the property in a Bank Trust aka Fidelcomiso or You can start a Mexican Corporation and put the home under the corporation. So you own it through the corporation instead of you owning it through the bank trust. You can find out more by watching this video ruclips.net/video/Jj0h9bE6hoM/видео.html
If you are a Mexican Citizen there are many lending options availble to you. As a Foreigner one must secure a loan in their home country in order for it to be used in Mexico to purchase a property. The reason Mexico does not offer mortgages to Non-Citizens is because if the borrower does not pay then the lender is on the hook for all the debt. In the USA the Lender is always bailed out by the Government which is why they lend to anyone with a pulse in the USA.
You are right, you can find great homes in Florida! Mexico is a different vibe though and has so much to offer. When moving to Mexico these day's it's not just about cost of living. Many people are more than happy to pay the same price to get a higher quality of life. Either way thanks for sharing!
Lol... Your way too hyper and talk way too fast. But awesome video thank you so much. 🙏🙏 As for the gated community, what's the monthly hoa/maintenance fees?
Thank you so much for your kind words! Yes there are monthly HOA/maintenance fees for all gated communities. The fees depend on the location. In this video we mention the fees for the property in the privada.
I think it all depends on where one is coming from. For many people coming from other parts of the country such as Mexico City, Merida is still a bargain. Same as many Americans and Canadians that come from areas that are even more overpriced than Mexico is. Merida is still bargain bin prices. But if you are coming from Arkansas, Iowa, or somewhere similar then i can totally understand how you might see these homes as over priced. Again I have mentioned it before many times in my videos. Mexico is not a cheap destination anymore, Mexico is now a highly desirable location for many and its prices emphasize that. People are mainly moving to Merida for safety and higher quality of life and are more than willing to pay for that peace of mind and comfort. Thank you for sharing with us.
What's even more impressive is how many Mexicans and Foreigners are buying them all up! Lot's of people want to come live out here in the Yucatan and it shows! Thanks for sharing!
@ do you think it’s Mexicans that have lived in USA Canada buying these up or they don’t pay gringo prices unfortunately once they figured out that even if Mexican you lived abroad you still pay a higher price do to assumption of having money
@@luisvilla799 I don't "think" we all know who is buying them. It is wealthy Mexicans some coming from the USA and Canada and others coming from Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and other places just to name a few. The reality is that supply and demand is in play here. There is a lot of demand and the supply of certain homes in high demand is limited. Either way you can still find very affordable homes out here like the last home I showed. The reality is that the prices are higher than they were years ago because many people are more than willing to pay that price knowing they are getting more than just a home.
@JoseArteagaTravels Thanks. Have a great day!!! You guys live in paradice. I had a chance to go to Bacalar, Cancun, Valladolid and of course Chichen Itza. Keep it up.
I also don't know how you should feel about gentrification. With that said I actually did a video on the subject not that long ago, here is a link ruclips.net/video/QuCVQUap68k/видео.html
If you are moving to Mexico ONLY to save a few bucks, then it is best you just stay in the USA. But if you are looking for a better quality of life and other wonderful things that Mexico has to offer then it is a great place to be. I showed 3 houses in the video. If you want something comparable to a home in the US it will cost you something similar to what you would be paying in the USA. But if you want a more modest and humble home you can still find those for around 100k as I showed you with the last house.
Again these properties are mostly sold to and advertised to Mexicans. So if it is too much for you to pay it is understandable. The USA has tons of great affordable options.
Correct. I have said it MANY times. If the only reason you are moving to Mexico is to save a few bucks, then it's best you look elsewhere. If you are looking for a better quality of life and other things such as living in an amazing country with an amazing Culture then you will love it out here, otherwise just best to stay home
@JoseArteagaTravels I agree. There are so many other places. We just have to do our research and know our budgets. We can live abroad with comfort and ease. Thanks so much for sharing your valuable content.
Jose im mexican American im looking for some one to explain a video exactly how to buy a home with cash I have my mexican citizenship is there a way you can find a way to make a video of someone explaining exactly their experience and process....
I don't have a video that explains the complete process but you can watch this video for more information in general on purchasing a home i Did with Jose Novelo awhile back. He is someone you can reach out directly for more detailed information on how to go through the whole process. ruclips.net/video/Jj0h9bE6hoM/видео.htmlsi=v5cVyf_cWVjy3rih
@JoseArteagaTravels thanks but do one find someone who will allow you to invade their process of buying home as a citizen with all cash.. paper work the notary and everything if you ever get the chance that'll be dope!!
Call the pest control cause the tree in the entry yard area looks infested with termites 🙀 thank goodness most of the home is made of concrete and brick 🧱 😅
These are just some of the things that come with living in the jungle. It could be termites or it could also be some local fauna just doing it's thing. Either way thank you for sharing your concern with us! Good thing that out here in Mexico getting treatment for your plants is much more affordable and accessible here.
Those prices are clearly marked on the property itself and online. Plenty of Mexicans have no problems paying these prices and even higher. Either way thanks for sharing your deep thoughts with us

I never hear about what house taxes are. I’m very interested in moving to Mexico. We watch every video on you tube and spend our vacations in Mexico. We would want to buy a house when we do move there. We live in Omaha, NE. Our house taxes are so high here. I think we are 8th in the nation for house taxes. Our house is paid for but if we want to stop working those taxes will kill our budget. We even downsized 6 years ago from 3209 square ft to a new house 1340 sq. Ft. Now our taxes are the same as our last home since house prices have increased!!!
That is a great question! I will make sure to let Jose Novelo know for our next videos to mention how much the property taxes are on the properties. But long story short it is in the hundreds of dollars not thousands. The property taxes here in Mexico are extremely low compared to what they are back home. You will pay more in utilities than you will in taxes. Hope that helps answer your question for now. Thanks again for the suggestion!
I see things are getting very expensive in Mexico including houses!!! It's a beautiful house, but I would most likely never spend that much for a home in Mexico unless it has land...or I would buy land and build my own for that price...just my opinion
Correct Mexico is becoming a very highly desirable location especially for many Mexicans coming from other parts of the country where they can only get an apartment for the price of one of these Large Homes.

You can not do that in a Privada which I s like an HOA. But you can do that in the city with proper planning. Jose Novelo can help you set it all up if interested

Hi Jose, how much would I need to buy a 150-200 sqm piece of land in that area?
Just a piece of land in the north of Merida can run you around 100k-200k USD these days
do supplies cost more here in the US compared to Mexico or is it the cost of labor that makes this home set at a great price? Wondering why I cant have this in the US
It's a combination of many factors that allow for homes and many other things to be much more affordable in Mexico
Bro McAllen, Texas bordertown to Mexico has cheaper houses !!

How far away is the hospital
About 5-10 minutes away to the best hospitals in the region.
Are these locations far enough from the ocean for a Canadian citizen to buy one of these properties?
These properties are too close to the ocean for a Foreigner to purchase in their name. You have 2 options Either put the property in a Bank Trust aka Fidelcomiso or You can start a Mexican Corporation and put the home under the corporation. So you own it through the corporation instead of you owning it through the bank trust. You can find out more by watching this video ruclips.net/video/Jj0h9bE6hoM/видео.html

To be quite honest homes for sale in Mérida are overpriced. I would rather first rent short or long term and then see if Mérida is the right place.
I think it all depends on where one is coming from. For many people coming from other parts of the country such as Mexico City, Merida is still a bargain. Same as many Americans and Canadians that come from areas that are even more overpriced than Mexico is. Merida is still bargain bin prices. But if you are coming from Arkansas, Iowa, or somewhere similar then i can totally understand how you might see these homes as over priced. Again I have mentioned it before many times in my videos. Mexico is not a cheap destination anymore, Mexico is now a highly desirable location for many and its prices emphasize that. People are mainly moving to Merida for safety and higher quality of life and are more than willing to pay for that peace of mind and comfort. Thank you for sharing with us.
I agree, the housing is becoming very hard to afford for locals. I know because I live here in Merida.

Damn those prices are beyond ridiculous
What's even more impressive is how many Mexicans and Foreigners are buying them all up! Lot's of people want to come live out here in the Yucatan and it shows! Thanks for sharing!
@ do you think it’s Mexicans that have lived in USA Canada buying these up or they don’t pay gringo prices unfortunately once they figured out that even if Mexican you lived abroad you still pay a higher price do to assumption of having money
@@luisvilla799 I don't "think" we all know who is buying them. It is wealthy Mexicans some coming from the USA and Canada and others coming from Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey and other places just to name a few. The reality is that supply and demand is in play here. There is a lot of demand and the supply of certain homes in high demand is limited. Either way you can still find very affordable homes out here like the last home I showed. The reality is that the prices are higher than they were years ago because many people are more than willing to pay that price knowing they are getting more than just a home.
Let me know if you have any clients thst want yo buy in Los Angeles or Ventura Counties, California.
ok! If i hear of anyone that wants to buy in Los Angeles I will make sure to come back to this message and let you know.
@JoseArteagaTravels Thanks. Have a great day!!! You guys live in paradice. I had a chance to go to Bacalar, Cancun, Valladolid and of course Chichen Itza. Keep it up.
Are you related to a Fernando Novelo, my husbands family is from there, last name Novelo.
Great question! I will ask him! From my understanding Novelo is a common last name but hey you never know!
@ Do you know the history of the last name, it’s Italian & does not sound like other Mayan names.
I don’t know how to feel about gentrification
I also don't know how you should feel about gentrification. With that said I actually did a video on the subject not that long ago, here is a link ruclips.net/video/QuCVQUap68k/видео.html
that isn't a cheap home at all. mexico cost of living is comparable to living in the states these days.
If you are moving to Mexico ONLY to save a few bucks, then it is best you just stay in the USA. But if you are looking for a better quality of life and other wonderful things that Mexico has to offer then it is a great place to be. I showed 3 houses in the video. If you want something comparable to a home in the US it will cost you something similar to what you would be paying in the USA. But if you want a more modest and humble home you can still find those for around 100k as I showed you with the last house.
the house is great but they talk too much and are super slow
Thanks for sharing!
That’s a 120k USD at most definitely don’t pay gringo prices
Again these properties are mostly sold to and advertised to Mexicans. So if it is too much for you to pay it is understandable. The USA has tons of great affordable options.
@ yeah I bet these house cost more than my house in Houston and from my understanding I can’t remember if it’s the geo no compres
Too expensive if you're leaving America to relocate somewhere more affordable.
Correct. I have said it MANY times. If the only reason you are moving to Mexico is to save a few bucks, then it's best you look elsewhere. If you are looking for a better quality of life and other things such as living in an amazing country with an amazing Culture then you will love it out here, otherwise just best to stay home
@JoseArteagaTravels I agree. There are so many other places. We just have to do our research and know our budgets. We can live abroad with comfort and ease. Thanks so much for sharing your valuable content.
A house like that in the US would NOT be over. Million $$$ unless you are in California and not even there! Sorry guys!
These houses were around 100k-350k US Dollars not Millions. When we mention millions it was in Mexican pesos.....
300K 😂
Thanks for sharing!
Jose im mexican American im looking for some one to explain a video exactly how to buy a home with cash I have my mexican citizenship is there a way you can find a way to make a video of someone explaining exactly their experience and process....
I don't have a video that explains the complete process but you can watch this video for more information in general on purchasing a home i Did with Jose Novelo awhile back. He is someone you can reach out directly for more detailed information on how to go through the whole process. ruclips.net/video/Jj0h9bE6hoM/видео.htmlsi=v5cVyf_cWVjy3rih
@JoseArteagaTravels thanks but do one find someone who will allow you to invade their process of buying home as a citizen with all cash.. paper work the notary and everything if you ever get the chance that'll be dope!!
Call the pest control cause the tree in the entry yard area looks infested with termites 🙀 thank goodness most of the home is made of concrete and brick 🧱 😅
These are just some of the things that come with living in the jungle. It could be termites or it could also be some local fauna just doing it's thing. Either way thank you for sharing your concern with us! Good thing that out here in Mexico getting treatment for your plants is much more affordable and accessible here.
Gringo price
Those prices are clearly marked on the property itself and online. Plenty of Mexicans have no problems paying these prices and even higher. Either way thanks for sharing your deep thoughts with us
@JoseArteagaTravels sucker born every minute
