Latin America Real Estate Site Spots Trend in Mexico Retirements
Carlsbad, CA (PRWEB) April 27, 2008 -- The cost of living in Mexico continues to attract more retirees from the United States and Canada, but it's not just the cost of homes that is attracting people south of the border after they retire. Latin American Home Investment, a Web site that provides information and assistance for people looking to relocate to Latin America, has seen a new trend in their industry. More people are looking at Latin America real estate not only because of the low cost of homes, but also because of the affordable medical services.
Americans retire in Mexico primarily because of the low cost of the real estate, since oceanfront properties can be had for 50 to 80 percent less than their American counterparts. The salaries are also much lower in Mexico, which isn't typically a direct concern for retirees who are living off of their savings and Social Security payments, but after closer inspection it actually makes a huge difference for retirees. Doctors and dentists charge 50 to 75 percent less than their American counterparts, as do professionals in practically every other industry from entertainment to construction.
The cost of living in Mexico is just much more affordable for retirees, especially since people in their retirement years often need the most medical services at this point in their lives. More hospitals in Mexico are upgrading their equipment and training doctors to speak in English, and private companies are building new state-of-the-art hospitals in Mexico, according to the Arizona Daily Star. More American employers are even letting health insurers know about their interest in countries such as Mexico for their employees to seek treatments in that would otherwise be too expensive. While major insurers aren't offering medical tourism benefits to all their policyholders nationwide, several have pilot programs in certain states.
The cost of services from home contractors, plumbers, handymen, housekeepers, gardeners and other professionals is also cheaper in Mexico. Americans retire in Mexico for a variety of reasons, but the real estate experts at Latin American Home Investment are seeing more people interested in the low cost of these services south of the border.
