There is so much in Merida that having a second home here is the norm. With these buyers being foreigners, they often hire the help of property management companies to help with the overall maintenance on their properties when they can’t be here to do it.
Merida is the largest city in the state of the Yucatan. The Centro Historico area is very popular with the expats and has restaurants, historic houses and a cathedral that was built on the site of the Mayan ruins. There is also the neighborhood of Palacio Grande, which is filled with street vendors and local artists. The nearest beach, Progreso, is on the Gulf of Mexico and about a half hour drive from Merida. This city has something for everyone.
Since 2010 the local market has been climbing out of a hole from the real estate recession. It is a buyer’s market in Merida. You can buy a renovated 19th or early 20th-century house in downtown Merida for competitive prices. Extremely old houses can cost more as well as homes in central locations with larger gardens but they are still relatively low in price compared to housing prices in the United States or other countries. There is a house for everyone in Merida.
