Real estate sales have been picking up in the Bay of Banderas, the Riviera Nayarit and in sunny Sayulita, Nayarit.  More buyers are coming prepared to purchase property and increasingly these buyers are Canadian.  In an effort to help educate and influence potential Canadian buyers about Mexico and Mexican real estate, Mexi-Go! is holding two Real Estate Expos in the area’s most popular markets, Vancouver and Calgary.  If you are considering purchasing Mexican real estate and want to learn more, check out the Mexi-Go! Expos being held in Calgary on September 27th and Vancouver on October 4th.

Canadian travelers to Mexico have increased from 750,000 to 1.7 million in the past 8 years.  More and more Canadians are making their tropical home dream come true by not only visiting but also purchasing vacation, investment or retirement homes in Mexico.  In fact, as much as 70% of vacation property sales in some touristic areas of Mexico are to Canadian buyers.  Local Sayulita broker/realtor Rod Rosile from Sayulita Investment Realty said “We see a great mix of Mexican, American, and international buyers. They all love Sayulita for the same reasons (surf, sun, amazing food, and great community feel) that I fell in love with it, but increasingly we have noticed more and more Canadian accents from our buyers.”

Two such Canucks were Jenn and Joe Chivers from Edmonton, Alberta, Canada who recently bought and remodeled their tropical home away from home Sayulita through Rod at SIR.  With the renovation complete they have already had a number of opportunities to enjoy their corner of paradise and are now also successfully renting Casa Aventura
 on SayulitaLife.com when they are not using it.  They are thrilled about the leap of faith that brought them to home ownership in Mexico. “We can’t say enough good things about the whole experience; Rod and the amazing service and friendship he has provided and then SayulitaLife.com for walking us through the first steps of owning a rental home and how to make it work…We also love Mexi-Go! Magazine and the inspiration it provided us.  If you are dreaming of owning a home in Mexico we suggest reading Mexi-Go! and attending the Mexi-Go! Expos to any fellow Canadian who want to make their dream a reality.”

In addition to exhibitors from around Mexico the Mexi-Go! Expos will also feature a speaker series with local experts describing what makes their part of Mexico so special and offering insight into Mexican home ownership done correctly. The event will also have a strong Sayulita connection with Sayulita Animals and their Canadian partner organization NoBars (No Borders Animal Rescue Society) attending to promote their Rescue, Rehab, Re-home, and Education programs.  This is a great way for animal lovers planning a trip or a full or part time life in Mexico to connect with this organization and learn more about how they can help.
