Today's Dollar Will Buy You Over 30 Percent More Property Than it did Less Than a Year Ago
What has become a loss for many has become a great opportunity for others. In the past year alone, the Mexican Peso lost over 30 percent of its value against the U.S. Dollar. What does this mean? People who earn in dollars just gained over 30 percent more purchasing power than what they had less than a year ago.
This phenomenon is likely to be temporary as inflation catches up and prices adjust to reflect the real value of things, however for those thinking of investing in Mexico real estate, right now might just be a good time to buy.
There are some things to be wary of. Yes, the Dollar is indeed currently very strong against the Mexican Peso and this may lead to great buying opportunities. However, investors should keep in mind that the whole world's economy is going through a tough moment right now, so precaution is to be had.
Mexican President, Felipe Calderon is very optimistic and promises that people who invest in Mexico at this particular moment will reap great rewards, however many analysts and private businesses aren't so euphoric.
So Should You Jump In?
It depends on your risk tolerance. Some experts believe that Mexico's Peso will remain pretty stable for now and that it may even gain some ground to recover some of it's losses. However, there is always the risk of more devaluation as well as the risk that the economy will under perform and hurt real estate prices.
