Special Opportunity: La Punta del Faro home sites

Monday, January 17th, 2011

Riviera Partners Realty is pleased to have just received the listing of this signature collection of landmark home sites, located within Punta Mita’s exclusive residential sub-division of La Punta Estates. Situated on the far point of the peninsula, these home sites  look directly out onto the Marietas Islands, and offer unobstructed sunset views over the ocean. Large in size, they are ideal for designing your own signature residence, yet each comes with its own preliminary plan for a residence designed by the master architect, Diego Villaseñor.

Working with the original owner/developer, we have priced these home sites to sell in these challenging times. We have just completed the  closing of the first of these home sites, La Punta Number 1. This further indicates and supports our belief that when a property is priced correctly, promoted and marketed as such even in these unstable times, that we will be successful in realizing more transactions. We are currently working diligently with two other prospective purchasers on making offers on these properties. These home sites offer amazing value for the price, and should you have an interest in living in this exclusive sub-division of Punta Mita then please contact us at your earliest convenience, we are waiting for your call!

Market Update

Monday, January 10th, 2011

We have been experiencing a marked increase in activity from late November (U.S. Thanksgiving) through the first week of December 2010, resulting in 11 new transactions  signed and working towards closing, with 6 or 7 closings squeezed into the last two weeks of 2010. These transactions are spread throughout our 5 RPR offices in Punta Mita, nahui and Los Veneros, therefore embracing the entire Riviera North Shore. We also have another 3 transactions that are close to having pen meet paper so during the end of 2010 we have seen great things happening. This gives us added confidence for the new year ahead!

We are also starting to see some interest from large international ‘funds’ looking to acquire land for future development, as well as smaller developers looking to get back into the market by way of purchasing developments in unsettled waters and/or raw land yet undeveloped throughout the Riviera North Shore. This again indicates to us that confidence is now returning little by little and we expect this trend to continue into the New Year.

While we do not see much new interest from U.S. prospective purchasers we are noticing that the Canadian and Mexican prospects are here to stay and we are sure that in time, as the U.S. economy and other factors regain some form of balance and/or path to recovery, that we will see our U.S. neighbors returning to rediscover our magical piece of paradise.

We are working diligently on our outreach programs through local residents and partner high-end brokers in Aspen, Colorado USA, and Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We are also to be traveling and hosting a number of events to further promote our region in these locations, including the important FITUR  Expo in Madrid, Spain, in late January. These events are being supported by our local residents from these areas along with our partner brokers located in the same cities who understand our market. We continue to think dynamically and out of the box given the inherent challenges that we face with the economy and other uncontrollable factors. We are committed to continuing to expand our outreach and evolve as a company to ensure our continued growth through these challenging times.

Special Buying Opportunities

Tuesday, November 2nd, 2010

Riviera Partners Realty is pleased to feature this limited selection of very special purchase opportunities. In the past 60 days we have experienced a marked increase in interest and offers being extended, although the market is still very much in the hands of the purchaser, and those sellers who understand the current market conditions and are willing to work within its boundaries. As such, we believe the window of opportunity for obtaining undervalued properties or special purchase terms could potentially be beginning to draw to a close.

Among our extensive boutique inventory of select properties, we feel the following offer exceptional values, due to recent price reductions or special terms. We invite you to review the selection of properties below, and should you have an interest, please contact us for additional details.

Feature Development: Paradise Coves, Costa Banderas

Monday, September 6th, 2010

In the Riviera Partners Realty spotlight this month is a collection of oceanfront and ocean view lots known as Paradise Coves. The developer has just authorized us to offer a 20% discount on select home sites, making this a prime opportunity to acquire oceanfront real estate at an exceptional value. Paradise Coves is an intimate, gated community with a very select number of private home sites. It derives its name from a series of beautiful small private coves that grace the verdant coastline. The beaches fronting this community are virtually vacant, as the natural setting offers very limited access north or south of the coves.

This residential private community is composed of 12 private home sites that vary between 1,500.00 M2 to 2,200 M2 in size. Residential construction is guaranteed to respect the integrity of the community, through adherence to a condominium regime and bylaws, but allows for generous construction sizes with lateral, front and back set backs. This community has enjoyed successful sales and building over the past couple of years. Today, there are only 5 home sites remaining, ranging in price from $618,000 USD to $1.8 million USD. Paradise Coves features a prime location just five minutes east of the Four Seasons and St. Regis Resorts in Punta Mita, and 45 minutes from the Puerto Vallarta International airport. For oceanfront custom home sites, Paradise Coves offers an incomparable value, at this limited opportunity pricing. Contact us today for additional details.
