Market Report
It gives us great pleasure to report that we have noticed a distinct increase in interest with regards to both renting and purchasing properties in our area. While most prospective purchasers are still arriving with a pre-determined perception of “values” we have been seeing more active interest along with several new offers being written. It remains true that the market is still extremely soft and only the properties that are perceived as being “good deals” are being visited. Still the commanding factors for most prospective purchasers are a) the perception of a “great opportunity” and b) closest to and/or the best possible ocean/water views. While it seems as though this soft market will continue through the coming months there has NEVER been a better time to purchase within Punta Mita. Large homes and beach front aside we are seeing transactional prices being what they were pre-construction 4 or 5 years ago, only now one can purchase a turn key property.

With the winter weather here there is surely no better place to be than in the Bay of Banderas and the Punta Mita area…this is Paradise! The ocean is warm and the northerly winds have started to fill in. Through December and January the North/North Westerly winds will enable those who love sailing, windsurfing and kite surfing to return to the ocean and sail to their hearts content. As we head into 2010 the thermal winds inside the bay will begin and then the fun really begins with a full calendar of regattas for sailors, windsurfers and kite surfers alike. For the surfers there have been some extremely fun swells here in the northern bay and around the Punta Mita peninsular in recent weeks, allowing us all to get in the ocean and catch a wave or two. All of our cherished surf breaks have been working offering a good variety of options for beginners, intermediates and advanced surfers alike.
Every year, hundreds of Humpback whales end their long migration as they come into the Bay of Banderas to spend the winter months. It is here, in these breeding grounds that males compete and show off for potential mates and many new calves are introduced into this world. Punta Mita Expedition’s naturalist guides can introduce you to the secrets of the Humpback world. While the humpbacks are definitely the stars of the show, keep your eyes out for other residents and winter visitors to the bay including hunting orcas, large aggregations of dolphins, sun bathing sea turtles, giant Pacific manta rays, and more. Every day holds a new surprise. For more information on whale watching, scuba, fishing and other tours please contact Nicolas & Sebastian Melani – Punta Mita Expeditions – www.puntamitaexpeditions.com / nicolas@puntamitaexpeditions.com / Sebastian@puntamitaexpeditions.com
Punta Mita Surf Club
We will be meeting at Plaza Ollin every Friday at 4pm and from there we will be heading to the best break for that given day. Everyone is welcome so bring your shorts, board, surf wax, sunscreen and let’s go catch some waves! For Punta Mita Surf Club information contact: jonathon@rivierapartnersmx.com
Punta Mita Sailing Club
To begin our PM Sailing club as neither I nor Punta Mita currently has a sailing boat my suggestion is that anyone interested coordinates through me and I will be happy to help you crew on a boat during a regatta while here, or plan ahead for a future regatta. Ideally when there are enough of us in Punta Mita that like to sail we can find a boat for our club and enter regattas together as a “Punta Mita Sailing Team/Club”. Please contact me for more information: jonathon@rivierapartnersmx.com / US – 760.298.4413 / Mexico - +52.329.291.5442.
