“Graciela Zamudio Conde, an estate agent with Guadalajara Sotheby’s International Realty, says while second-home buyers in Mexico typically eye coastal resorts, Mexico City’s expanding economy and growing reputation as a world city is helping it attract a larger number of domestic and foreign buyers.

‘I’ve seen about a third more international buyers this year than last year and there’s no reason to see that trend changing,’ she says. ‘For second-home buyers, it’s no longer just Americans and Europeans but also many Mexicans from across the country who view Mexico City as a desirable place to own a property.’”

A Mexican Wave

Financial Times

“Last winter, the stars aligned for skiers across the western half of the United States. Resorts such as Aspen in Colorado, Park City in Utah, and Sugar Bowl in California saw record or near-record snowfall.

Now, as home sales in those resorts enter this year’s fourth quarter, traditionally their peak sales season, multiple brokers are saying that they’re seeing a direct relationship between last year’s conditions and this year’s sales.”
