What advice to expats in Ajijic have about housing?

"Expats in Ajijic advise newcomers to thoroughly research the housing market before making a decision. They suggest renting a place first before buying, to get a feel for the area and understand the local real estate market. It's also recommended to hire a reputable real estate agent who is familiar with the local laws and regulations. Expats also advise to consider the location carefully, taking into account factors such as proximity to amenities, noise levels, and safety. They also suggest checking the quality of the construction, as some houses may not be built to the same standards as in other countries. It's also important to understand the cost of living, including utilities and maintenance costs, which can be higher than expected. Lastly, expats recommend learning some Spanish, as it can greatly help in dealing with landlords and real estate agents," remarked another expat in Ajijic, Mexico.
