Playa del Carmen Real Estate Leaders

The resort home/ hotel industry is a mega economy worldwide.   There are so many aspects to the industry from construction, to holiday rental occupancy, to billions of dollars a year in sales.   The market is experiencing more and more demand for quality second homes and vacation getaways.  This is due to an ageing population that demands comfort and convenience in their retirement years.  These people are referred to as the “baby boomers”.  North America alone has millions of baby boomers.  The vast majority of these people are seeking a warmer climate in winter.  While southern parts of the US are still popular, there is an astonishing increase in North Americans going even further south to places like Mexico and Central America.  The Caribbean region in particular is gaining more and more interest.  In addition to the year round warm climate, the natural beauty of the area with its white sand beaches and turquoise blue water is a  great attraction.  Real estate in Mexico in general is highly lucrative, especially in the Mayan Riviera and Playa del Carmen areas.

Large development companies from around the world are rapidly expanding  to these fast-developing areas.  One of these mega companies OHL, a Spanish construction company, is developing an area along the Mexican Caribbean coastline.  This development, Mayakoba,  is like no other.  It is situated thirty minutes south of Cancun, Mexico near a resort town by the name of Playa del Carmen.  Playa del Carmen is a booming resort town from real estate investors.  Mayakoba is a massive ecological park equipped with a world class PGA golf course and luxury homes, many nearing the five million dollar mark.  Mayakoba is an eco-friendly resort that caters to everyone’s desires from natural cenotes (large underground taverns filled with water) to numerous gourmet restaurants.

Mexico in general is experiencing astronomical growth. The country is going through many positive changes which are putting it at the top of the charts when it comes to the second home and vacation industry.  The Mayan Riviera especially is experiencing a large influx of foreign investment in the real estate industry.

There are few real estate companies as diverse as Joshua Group International.  This company was established by a group of Canadians that come from strong foreign investment backgrounds.  The vision of the company is to create a more efficient real estate market in Mexico, specifically the Mayan Riviera, which is the stretch of beach that runs from Cancun to Tulum, Mexico.   In this area lies a hidden gem.  The Mayan Riviera is rich in history, culture and Caribbean beauty.  Joshua Group International is a company that showcases the leaders in the real estate industry from the property developers to the finance companies.  Joshua Group International is an ecologically friendly company that pays strong tribute to land developers that respect the natural environment and culture.  For example, in developing Mayakoba,  five years were spent  studying the land before any construction began.  Everything was built around the natural cenotes to show respect for the Mayan culture. In addition, natural processes were used as much as possible in the development of the area such as using traditional methods to cultivate the greenery.

Joshua Group International only presents investors with the best and most respected real estate companies in the area.  Joshua Group International is highly diverse sales company that directs people to the leaders in their respective fields--land development, real estate and finances.  Language barriers can occur when investing in foreign countries.  Joshua Group International specializes in North American investors whose primary language is English.  This allows clarity in all aspects of the transactions.  The company has received praise from government, large investment groups and individual buyers.   Joshua Group International closely follows the guidelines put in place by AMPI, the governing real estate body in the country which is now affiliated with The National Association of Realtors. 

Through promotion to a wide range of people, companies such as Joshua Group International are broadening the investor base in Mexico.   This will have a very positive impact on future development in the country as more and more North Americans look to the Mexican Caribbean and realize that they can own a piece of “Paradise” that is safe, affordable and easily accessible.  Playa del Carmen, Mexico real estate is highly lucrative, as the market continues to show tremendous growth.
