Finding a Home in Cabo

So you're ready to buy your dream home in Cabo, congratulations! This is a massive stepping stone and one to be truly proud of.

Chances are you've already scoped out a few neighborhoods, and have your eyes on a couple of properties. But before you rush to sign that paperwork, there are some important factors to keep in mind when shopping for a home in Cabo.

Read on to ensure that home sweet home is everything you hoped it would be.

Know What You Need  (and What You Don't)

Before shopping for your home, it's important to carve out what's really important to you and what's not.

For example, are you willing to give up a gated community for larger home the better suits your taste?

What about the perfect piece of paradise located in an off the grid beachfront property? Also read as "not so great Internet".

Get very clear on what sacrifices you are and are not willing to make for the perfect property.

Thinking of the Kiddos

If you have young children, you may want to pick out a school before picking out a home.

The good news is, there are ample options for quality education here in Cabo.

However, you may not want to be stuck with a longer commute simply because you chose a home that is too far away from little Johnny's escuela.

Safety First

Once upon a time in Cabo we got a little rain. You may have heard of it. Odessa… ODonna… Otis… something like that.

While hurricanes with such force are rare and freak occasions, we do tend to get a bit of rain during the fall. It's up to you just how often you would like to prepare for floods, and mop up inches of water.

In other words, you may choose to stick to Highland.

Up-and-Coming Areas

Baja is a different place compared to what it was just a few years ago. Actually, Baja is a different place compared to what it was just a few months ago.

Our little town is rapidly growing into an urban paradise, with new neighborhoods being built on a regular basis.

It's often a worthwhile investment to look ahead when shopping for homes or property. Just because there's a dirt road there today, it doesn't mean there won't be a luxury suburban neighborhood there tomorrow.

It's also wise to keep in mind the additional opportunities that will come with your new home.

For example, you may be interested in renting your home out as an Air B&B during the time that you are not around. This means it may be best to look for properties that are walking distance to tourist destinations.
