If you’ve been paying attention to the Puerto Vallarta real estate market, you know that it is a hot place to be right now. Extensive construction is underway for both resort/hotel and private real estate projects. Investors are snapping up premium Puerto Vallarta properties almost as fast as they are being built, and many developers are pre-selling units within their projects.

Despite what a real estate agent or developer might tell you, a high-rise condominium in Puerto Vallarta won’t provide as much ROI as a stand-alone luxury home will. Premium Puerto Vallarta property is getting hard to come by. Massive tourist resorts are being built all over the city, with special attention being paid to the waterfront.

A better way to profit from premium Puerto Vallarta properties is to buy a parcel outside the city, and build a luxury home there. To benefit from this strategy, properties must be close to Puerto Vallarta, yet be far enough away that the tourist traffic won’t diminish the enjoyment of owning a premium Puerto Vallarta property.

Areas to the north of Puerto Vallarta are being developed right now. Major tourist sites as far north as Punta Mita are being built. Slightly farther north, in Sayulita and San Pancho, investors can reap the benefits of owning premium Puerto Vallarta properties without coming too close to tourist developments.

The peace and quiet of these luxury properties provides substantial value and will attract a certain type of buyer in the luxury segment. Whether you plan to purchase premium Puerto Vallarta properties as an investment or for your own enjoyment, it’s hard to think that you could go wrong by investing in a premium building site in San Pancho.
