Financing is an option that became available in 2007, which is the reason why most of the properties are paid for. Up until then, the only financing available was for Mexican Nationals. Foreigners would use their equity at home to buy homes, condos or villas in Mexico. Even though the interest rates are higher than the U.S.A. or Canada, they are still lower than a Pesos based loan. Considering at least 15% appreciation in value of property per year, it is still a great option. Please take a look at our Financing page to get the full details.
