Of course they can! There are two ways- Through a Bank Trust also known as a ¨Fideicomiso´ or owned through a Mexican corporation. The Mexican Law states and imposes restrictions on foreign ownership within one hundred miles of the borders and within sixty miles of coastal waters or beaches. For properties located within the restricted zones, a foreigners can only purchase through a Bank Trust (Fideicomiso) or a Mexican Corporation. If a Mexican corporation is formed, it has a legal capacity and formal procedures to acquire secure title for a property anywhere in Mexico, including restricted zones.
For properties located outside of restricted zones or within the interiors of Mexico, foreigners can own direct title to property. In other words, no Trust or Fideicomiso is required for properties purchased outside of the restricted areas.

A Fideicomiso or Bank Trust is used when a Foreigner purchases Mexican property within a restricted areas. The Fideicomiso or Bank Trust holds the title, acts as the fiduciary of the Trust and manages the Trust in accordance to the law. The owner of the property under the terms of the Trust is the primary beneficiary.

Generally, to sell a home quickly it must typically have three key factors; Be priced properly, Be located in a demanded or highly desirable area and Be in good condition. A competitive price strategy can often times attract buyers who are not only looking at the neighborhood but, a good return on their investment with very limited additional investment. A home in great shape with little to no maintenance required, sells quicker in most cases. In our experience, a property can take anywhere from three months to one year to sell based on these key factors.

A Seller’s market is when there are more buyers than properties available or Sellers, which increases competition among buyers. It is possible to have more than one buyer interested in the same property which can result in bidding wars with offers delivered above list price. In a Seller’s market properties can sell within a week of being on the market usually at list or above price. A Seller’s market is a wonderful time to sell your property as you may secure a sale price higher than your list price or at least at list price. We can tell you whats hot.
