One of the wonderful advantages of real estate in Mexico is that there are always new and promising areas opening up for investment. Of the two areas that offer particular potential, one is sort of “next in line” in an area that has proven its strength multiple times, Tulum real estate, and the other is an entire region of Mexico that has just start attracting international discovery – Oaxaca real estate.

Tulum is located on the Yucatan Peninsula, about an hour south of Playa del Carmen, or about 2 hours south of Cancun. The area has already seen three big real estate success stories; first Cancun, then the island of Cozumel, and currently Playa del Carmen as the fastest growing community in Latin America, growth due solely to tourism and expatriate real estate investment.

A new international airport is in the early stages for Tulum; Investors are already starting to pay special attention to Mexico land for sale in Tulum, and some great condo and home opportunities are popping up. Tourism is also going strong, and there’s every reason to believe that Tulum will be the next boom story on Mexico’s Caribbean coast.

Heading towards Mexico’s southern Pacific tip, Oaxaca, though in a very different situation, also shows signs of being “ripe for investment.” The federal tourism agency of Mexico has already identified Oaxaca as a state of “opportunity with a wide portfolio of products to attract investments with total legal certainty.”

Oaxaca has everything that has made other tourist destinations successful. It has a beautiful colonial capital, the city of the same name, and a handful of beachfront tourist spots that have already been drawing tourists, such as Puerto Escondido and Huatulco. It also offers beautiful nature and many “hidden” waterfront areas, ideal for those looking for a quieter escape.

Due to the government’s recent efforts to harness the high potential of strategic projects in highways, wind, clean energy, agribusiness, and tourism, the state has been generating an increasing amount of prosperity and reinvestment funds.

The prices are still very affordable since international attention to Oaxaca is still in its initial stages. This means that investors who buy now are positioning themselves to see property appreciation and returns similar to those who have taken advantage of the booming real estate markets of the Yucatan Peninsula or Puerto Vallarta.
