Looking at Mexican Buyers of U.S. Property on Cindo de Mayo

Cinco-de-Mayo

Cinco de Mayo recognizes the Mexican army’s triumph over France at the Battle of Puebla on May 5, 1862.

While today gives us a chance to celebrate Mexican culture here in the U.S., many of our Mexican friends own property here.

According to NAR’s 2016 Profile of International Activity in U.S. Residential Real Estate, Mexico ranked fifth in purchases by residents both in sales by dollar volume and total transactions.

Most buyers from Mexico purchased properties in Texas and California, which are both geographically close and culturally similar to Mexico. North Carolina, Illinois and Florida were also major destinations. Check out the charts below for more info on Mexican buyers:

Bottom Line:

Mexico is a big part of the U.S. housing economy.  Now we have more reasons to celebrate Cinco de Mayo!  Give me a call for more information – J.P. Cook – 602-510-6430.

It's one thing to live in the desert. It's another to experience living in the Sonoran Desert. Welcome to Ocotillo Ridge Estates! This beautiful, John Schultz custom home is surrounded by mountain views, high desert vegetation and a variety of wildlife, that gives one the sense of communing with nature. The home is nestled on a 4.4 acre lot with numerous ocotillos, saguaros and other types of native plants and cacti. The driveway guides you past a 2 BR casita to the main house. Along the way, artisan crafted wood gates mark the entry points to the front patio and mesquite entry door. Once inside, you immediately notice that this is not your normal boxy home design. You'll also discover that every room is oversized. Distinctive elements, such as custom-built Alder cabinets throughout, provide the warmth needed to make this house a home. An open design allows hosts to entertain large gatherings without feeling cramped. There are 4 large sliding glass panels in the Great Room that hide into a pocket and allow the party to flow outside into an expansive covered patio. Turn up the sound system and enjoy! The main house has 2 MBRs and 1 Ensuite BR. The MBR wing boasts an oversized MBA, a huge walk-in closet, a separate exercise room (with exit to an outdoor spa) and another door leading to a private outdoor shower. On the opposite side of the house, the other MBR has a sunken area perfect for reading, studying, working or just plain relaxing. A private exit to the large backyard and infinity pool can be found there as well. The main house also includes a chef's kitchen with a large island, walk-in pantry and breakfast nook. Stroll around to locate the laundry (with built-in ironing board), an office with 2 book closets, a Powder Room and a separate media closet to 'hide' all your audio/visual technology. The casita, while under the same roof as the main house, has its own private entry and outdoor parking space. The design of interior is fashioned after a charming Mexican...casita, with a large family room, full kitchen and washer/dryer closet. The 2 bedrooms share a bathroom with a large walk-in tiled shower. Guests can access the pool, spa and back patio through a delightful side yard. All you'll need to begin enjoying your new home in Carefree is there. After all, the town is not named Carefree for nothing...and neither is Ocotillo Ridge Estates!

The 17 Ranch was completed in 2019 making it one of the newer built ranches in the Foothills area. No need to wait on lengthy permit processes or builders timelines. This multifaceted property is not only income producing but has the flexibility to suit almost ANY discipline! Currently has reining footing but could easily add boxes and a return alley for roping and PLENTY of room for jumping or dressage court. Even room to add additional barns! Very good well with 10,000 gallon storage tank. Maintains in the 90 percentile filled water capacity throughout the day, handles ranch and tenant needs very readily. In the Epcor district Above ground 6000 gallon tank for emergencies and arena maintenance if using the motorized water wheel to wet the arena, all come with the ranch sale. Tenancy has zero vacancies on the casitas and apartments and all come FULLY FURNISHED AND TURNKEY!! Many tenancies in place for long term contracts but also have clauses in event the ranch sells Heated pool and spa along with luxury finishes and 12' ceilings make the casitas high end rentals or a great communal living area. The casitas can be easily joined if a larger home was needed. A fourth casita can be built as there is a pad and plumbed in. The casita area has mutilple opportunities and sit on a two acre parcel. The ranch is 6 acres with 4 PIDs. Zoned Ag Exempt Two barns seperated on the property for privacy for each barn. One has 12 stalls, the other has 5 stalls. Show barn has a high end luxury suite attached to the barn which is suited for luxury living or turn that space into an office. 12 stall barn has two 2 bedroom apartments attached making it perfect for staff to easily watch horses with windows facing into the barn. Or these make great rental properties as well and stay full with a wait list. This 12 stall barn would easily convert into a fully enclosed barn if needed. You can open the middle stall wall to make 12x24 stalls for mares and babies or foaling stalls Barns have timers on fans and lights and also automatic waterers. Many horse ammenties on this ranch including a large hay/shaving barn and 4 turn outs. Literally ride out the electronic gate at the 136th entrance to the Fraisfield Trailhead. There is hundreds of acres of non motorized trails designed with horses in mind. The 17 Ranch sits right beside this preserve and the opportunity for a trail riding business is in place. Or take colts and show horses out on safe good riding trails for conditioning and training breaks. Arena is 140' wide and 280' long with Reining horse base and footing. Large enough to accomodate most disciplines.You could easily put in roping chutes and boxes for a great covered roping arena. Need more stalls? Very easy to add to the existing show barn or theres multiple build sites to add other barns. (please see renderings pictures). The ranch was built with the idea to add more stalls. Ask for more information. This is an easy fix and was addressed in the build process. There is a 40' lane along the south side of the arena that could become a barn with 20 stalls, opening to the arena. Also giving full privacy from the road, or build an overhang along the south side of the arena to give privacy and/or park equipment under cover. Also, this area would be a great place for more horse or catlle pens. Its an opportune area to utilize for many needs. Worried about the Rio Verde frontage? Easy fix as the owner has cleared the easement and is beginning plans for trees and privacy shrubs!!! Another option is to use the 280' south (Rio Verde Dr frontage)side of the arena as your own ranch signage and freely market your business to the traffic flowing by daily. There are so many opportunities to create privacy while also capitalizing on what every business needs...EXPOSURE! Access to the ranch on the west side is from 136th making this ranch fully accessible by pavement. On the east side of the ranch is 138th which gives the casitas their own private entrance creating an independant seperate flow for both the tenants and horse operation. The ranch has been working on a C2 rezone and there is potential for a buyer who may want a feed/livestock store. This Rio Verde Dr frontage property makes it the prime location for future commercial rezone. If rezoned today, that could mean this property is worth upwards of $7m commercially so this makes this ranch an incredibly unique investment holding property. Not many ranches in the area have the potential for an investment growth like this ranch does. Being at the intersection where Scottsdale meets the Foothills makes The 17 Ranch the opening corridor to the Foothills and all the potential that comes as the area experiences growth. The ranch is one of the only ranches to have City of Scottsdale easement frontage. This frontage could prove beneficial as the neighboring properties develop. Operate this current turnkey business AND horse facility now and sell later when development demands this corner!!! The 17 Ranch was built to be a fully functioning horse ranch with the unjque opportunity for tenants to live with their horses. Keep it as is and experience the good cash flow generated by horses and tenants, or build more stalls and turn it into a premier horse training location with a very bright and solid future!!!
