  • First 3 Quarters of 2015 – Vallarta Real Estate Market Report

    The Puerto Vallarta real estate market for the first 3 quarters of 2015 shows signs of a slight but healthy growth in the number of sales and the price adjustments that had to take place in order to generate those sales. Across the board sales volume is up, and albeit modest the average sales price is up as well. Condominiums have done better than houses but the growth over last year is great.

    Timothy Real Estate Group remains the dominant force in the Puerto Vallarta – Riviera Nayarit market with more than double the sales volume of the number two agency in the bay.

    Condominiums have seen an increase in sales volume in the bay while the average sales price for a condominium has gone down by -8%. The increase in sales is most likely the result of sellers getting more realistic about market values.

    The number of condominiums that have sold have gone up 11% over last year and the percentage of list price has gone down by -1%. Both factors are good news for the market.

    Houses have not faired as well this year. Sales volume for sold houses has gone down -14% and average sales prices for houses has gone down by -15%.

    The number of sold houses has basically remained the same and the sales price percentage of list price has gone down by -3% to 89% of asking

    New listings in 2015 have gone down by -17.5% which is a great sign that inventory is reducing and sold listings have gone up by 16.7% which is also a positive sign in the market.

    Puerto Vallarta has a number of exciting new projects that are in their design stages for the Romantic Zone and Amapas areas as well as South Shore waterfront developments. Construction is going strong in Riviera Nayarit in many areas with new 5 Star Hotels in the planning stages as well. Generally speaking developers are looking to create residential products that meet the needs of foreign investors with exciting smaller, more affordable products. It is a great time to invest in the Riviera Nayarit and Puerto Vallarta markets before appreciation really starts to take off which can make some of the newer pre-construction projects and current re-sell inventory very attractive for the upcoming 2016 season.

    With any questions about the market or help in finding or selling your home, please contact a Timothy Real Estate Group representative.

  • Captivating Real del Mar residential resort opened the gates of architectural history on the Punta Mita corridor

    Whether spying the cliff-hanging grand villas on the horizon across Banderas Bay or craning your neck to grab a glance at a peak-perched estate as one drives past the periwinkle-blue, curved privacy walls of Real del Mar, an acute curiosity is aroused. What is really inside those gates?

    In the early 2000s, this residential community originally set the tone for the styling, ambience and lifestyle that was to follow suit on the Punta de Mita corridor—then but a rustic road with the beginnings of the Four Seasons Punta Mita being forged at one end and the fishing village of La Cruz at the other end with not much more than a few fish boats strewn on the beach.

    It has evolved to over 50 homes of distinction—characteristic of what is known in the architectural world as Careyes Style. Imposing yet elegant, they’re ingeniously integrated into a promontory of six gentle summits that make up its 30-acre enclave, all set on a pristine ribbon of Mexican Pacific waterfront with one of the areas most idyllic beaches, and placed to exploit the many view angles while maintaining maximum privacy.

    Soft architectural edges, sophisticated applications of clay tile, palapas and pergolas, the artistry of handcrafted wood and stone detailing of the finest workmanship are its signature. Its tailored jungle is the epitome of landscape architecture. The master plan architects could never have known that the already-amazing vistas upon Vallarta and the outer bay would be further enhanced by the addition of the Marina Riviera Nayarit, which came along in recent years and now embellishes the view of many of the southeast facing homes.

    What makes this property that much more alluring is its comfortable, rather than pretentious, air. Casual elegance is the perfect descriptor—fits like a glove.

    A complete spa, gym and tennis facility complements the resort’s amenities. Stand up paddle boarding is perfect along its shoreline and inside its little harbour. For those with a vessel, temporary off-shore anchorage is easy on gentle waters that make shuttling to the main beach hassle-free. World-class marina moorage is a three-minute drive to the now grown-up touristic town of La Cruz, which also provides for authentic and very appealing local diversion and gives this oasis a very real community connection. Fifteen minutes to Punta Mita brings one to the elite hotels of St. Regis and Four Seasons as well as several golf courses, connecting Real del Mar with sophisticated dining and leisure activities.

    Equidistant between Puerto Vallarta and Punta de Mita, it is secret and private yet connected by its dominance on the horizon and its access to community. The mystery of what is behind those gates is well worth discovering.

  • TIMOTHY GROUP LAUNCHES SPECIAL BRANDING FOR HIGHEND PROPERTIES

    By TREGROUP · September 8, 2015

    “Every luxury must be paid for, and everything is a luxury, starting with being in this world.” ― Cesare Pavese, Il mestiere di vivere: Diario 1935-1950

    I believe that the high-end real estate consumer has specific needs and wants when it comes to home ownership. The luxury brand consumer purchases luxury brands for any number of reasons, but in real estate I believe they purchase because of the relationships they enjoy. They tend to want to be near others who are in high-end market areas. Typically they have a people connection. For this reason Timothy Real Estate Group has launched TIMOTHY LUXE PROPERTIES in order to set apart those estate properties that offer more in terms of location, construction quality, lifestyle and value.

    Luxury brands are loved the world over for what they provide the consumer: sometimes status and often style. Not only that, luxury brands remind us you get what you pay for.

    “The materialistic view of happiness of our age starkly revealed in our understanding of the word “luxury.” ― Alain de Botton

    Yoo Company is a luxury property developer that has designed more than 10,000 homes, hotels and commercial projects in 37 cities worldwide. The company’s president John Hitchcox believes;

    “The essence of luxury living isn’t the bells and whistles, the décor or the eccentric public area designs like Philippe Starck is known for. It’s the sense of place and feeling of community that people buy into. Just as when you walk into an Apple Store you do so with certain expectations of freedom and service, so people look to premium homes with similarly high expectations. Some areas of the world are becoming overheated in the property market and having something extra to differentiate oneself from competitors is becoming more and more vital.”

    As a real estate agent I learned how to work with high-end clients in Beverly Hills, California. I had the opportunity to work with many affluent families and celebrities that usually had business managers, attorneys, and accountants involved in every transaction. Realtors have to be on their “A-game” because clients are very smart and business savvy, and they have many options before them.

    In the world of luxury products, experience and perception are important but the most important quotient is value. The old rules of luxury buying used to dictate that the act of purchasing a luxury product determines how much a consumer is willing to spend, but I believe this has changed and feel our clients want to see value when they purchase a new home. They want to see something special and extraordinary. When you see the TIMOTHY LUXE PROPERTIES logo you can count on a property that offers more for the high-end consumer.

    “Every state of society is as luxurious as it can be. Men always take the best they can get. ” ― Samuel Johnson
