That’s certainly a good reason to remain focused on the TS area.

We had pretty much given up on our dream of buying a place in Mexico as the surge in RE prices in Mexico meant we simply couldn’t afford to pay the current prices in the neighborhoods where we wanted to live. Then one day my daughter called, sharing with us that her in-laws had built a home in the Los Barriles area 30 years ago. Her mother-in-law hardly goes to the house anymore since her husband passed in 2023 but she just couldn’t bring herself to sell the place due to so many memories made in the vacation home with her late husband.

When she found out that we were looking for a place in Baja, she offered to let us buy half ownership of the beautiful home for about a quarter of its market value today, putting us back in the game. The only stipulation was that we would pass the property onto to our kids when we die (which we already planned to do).

It’s been a great move for everybody.
