What advice to expats in Tulum have about housing?

Answer this Question

When we asked people living in Tulum about the social scene there, they described it saying...

"Expats in Tulum advise that it's important to research the area thoroughly before deciding on a place to live. They suggest visiting Tulum first to get a feel for the different neighborhoods and to see the housing options in person. It's also recommended to rent before buying, to ensure you're happy with the location and the property. Expats also advise to be aware of the high humidity and heat in Tulum, so look for housing with good ventilation and air conditioning. They also suggest checking the quality of the construction, as some properties may not be built to the highest standards. It's also important to consider the proximity to amenities such as grocery stores, restaurants, and healthcare facilities. Some expats recommend living close to the beach, while others prefer the town center for its convenience and vibrant community. Expats also suggest hiring a local real estate agent who can help navigate the housing market and negotiate prices. They also recommend seeking legal advice before signing any contracts to ensure you understand all the terms and conditions. Lastly, expats in Tulum advise being mindful of the local environment and choosing housing that is sustainable and respectful of the natural surroundings. This includes considering factors like water usage and waste management," commented one expat who made the move to Tulum, Mexico.

"Always rent first to be sure you like the area. If you decide to buy (we did), use a qualified, experienced, licensed real estate agent. Buying property in Mexico is not like the USA or Canada. Too many people get taken when buying through non-licensed agents or through individuals selling their home. Then they can't get the proper paperwork to complete the sale and the seller is long gone. I know some people in this situation now," remarked another expat in Tulum, Mexico.
