Selling half an acre of flat/tropical land near Mazatlan, Mexico. Gated Community.BnB

Hi,

I'm selling ~ 1/2 of an acre of land for residential development in a beautiful, gated community called La Enmorada. This is an area of a lot of ex-pats and longtime vacation takers, or people that have rentals there. The community is a 5-minute bike ride to the beach with cliffs and some dunes, and 3 minutes from a cool outdoor beach restaurant. 10 minutes north is the town of Marmol, and minutes north of that, there are small touristy beach towns. Mazatlan is located 20 minutes south, a nice tourist city on the Pacific Ocean known for its Banda music scene and Japanese inspired restaurants.

I bought the land in 2022 thinking I would build a vacation home/rental within 2-3 years, but with changing financial priorities, I will not be building or developing anything in Mexico for around 6-7 years from now. Need to concentrate on stuff here first.

My main questions are how on Earth would I target a group of people that are into buying investment properties in Mexico?


Would I have a tough time finding a private buyer vs. going through my real estate agent that sold it to me? 

Lastly, is anyone interested?


Thank you all

I am for sure biased but I would highly suggest using a real estate agent that is a) familiar with that community b) is well versed in selling to non-Mexican citizens and c) has stellar reviews. The agent that fits those boxes may not be the one you purchased it from but it also might be!

I'd love to own in Mexico myself but casually looking for something already built :-)

Best of luck,

Lindsey

Yes of course but the agents there want to use comparables to the other plots there, we were wondering if it's a good idea to upmark the land by 10,000$
