Lake Chapala, Mexico
Located in the hills 25 miles (40 kms) south of Guadalajara, Lake Chapala/Ajijic (ah-hee-HEEK) boasts a wealth of amenities, including fine dining, shopping, community activities, English-language newspapers, theater and concerts, and a well-developed system of real estate brokerage and sales, not even to mention homes with spectacular lake views.
Foreign influx has driven the real estate market, but prices remain surprisingly affordable. Due to its inland location, no bank trust is required to buy property and local realtors report few issues regarding land titles. Homes in Chapala and Jocotepec sell for a bit less than in Ajijic, but prices do vary. The area offers everything from two-bedroom bungalows in the US$150,000 to $300,000 range up to million-dollar mansions. Property taxes remain low, although they doubled over the past five years from US$50 to $100 annually.
Housing starts in the US$50,000 to $100,000 range, but homes at these prices are relatively rare. The next level of US$100,000 to $300,000 is where you will find the widest range of options. Two-bedroom homes can typically be had for US$150-300,000. For three-bedroom homes, expect to pay between US$300,000-450,000. For four or more bedrooms, this rises to US$400-800,000. The top prices in the region are $450,000, and it’s at this price that you will find the best properties. Local regulations restrict the styles of homes and buildings constructed in the area, so condominiums are relatively rare.
