Hey Larissa! We finally made it, we moved to PV a couple weeks ago. We are renting while we wait for something to become available that we will like to buy. It is like a vacation every day. Walking the beach in the early morning and watching the sunset from the beach in the evening. Every day is truly and adventure! Have a GREAT DAY! 😊 Joe
Awww José i am very happy for you :)) Enjoy your life in paradise ❤️
Congratulations Joe !!! I am happy for you to move to PV to live your best life here. 😍
BTW if you need a reference for a good and trusted realtor email me at larissasokla@gmail.com
Enjoy your life in mexico 🇲🇽
Did your landlord verify your income before y'all moved there?
I ask because I have been saving for awhile and will be leaving my job and don't want a potential landlord wanting to call them to verify my income. 🥴
Just back from PV Noticed it was WAY more expensive , this was compounded by the pathetic Canadian Dollar,, All the best,, and Gracias
Thank you Larissa. Your extensive knowledge and experience is so amazing in these field. Thank you for sharing !
My pleasure:)
Hello I'm 55 i move to Puerto Vallarta by whachin your videos nice job 👍 so far so good
WOW looks Nice Ok 💯
Way too Go!! Great information to know!!
Great video Larissa! ❤
Thanks for showing the inside stores.
Great and you are looking fabulous. jalisco PV and Bucerias area can be areas folks can look at when looking to save money on housing
Great video thanks
Love your smile and your great attitude bravo
Great video friend
A bit different from our monthly budget 😊
Thanks for sharing your time with us 2 Canadians 🇨🇦 living in Merida Yucatan Mexico
How’s the cost of living in Merida?
@@tintinet Hola friend hope you and your family are doing well ✌️
It's a little more than other areas in Mexico for sure
Here is one of our latest budget videos. 🙏❤️
czcams.com/video/Aj4v5PsD8z4/video.html
Good to se you videos again
Nice video. But one thing I need to correct here is now the usd to peso is no more 1:20 , its abt 1: 170, so for taco 25 peso , is abt 1.5 usd. lol
7:35 Nice super market 😌😌I love your videos they are entertaining
Great video and an amazing channel, Larissa.
Thank you so much!
Life in PVR is getting atrociously expensive. The peso is about 17.5 USD and they increased the rentals so bad it is ridiculous. Unfortunately I'll be crossing PVR off my list.
Yes, PV is getting pricey, like most popular oceanfront communities.
You can consider locations outside or on the outskirts of PV and save money; moreover, there's so many other choices throughout Mexico that are not impacted by heavy tourism. Consider Guanajuato, Huatulco and even the smaller villages around these places. Also, many places are more to Mexican standards, so do not be so fussy about facilities given you'll be spending more time away from home - rough it a bit and save a lot!!!! There are expats living in the center of things, but some put up with minor inconveniences and pay much lower prices by selecting older buildings.
@@dennishassler605 thanks Dennis, indeed Mexico has a lot to offer and has an amazing diversity. Lots of hidden gems all over. It seems too many people have discovered PVR and it became unaffordable.
@@alainbergeron4520 I find that hard to believe, but it's true that the dollar has weakened in Mexico. Nevertheless, I'd have no problems living well in Mexico. Cost of living is about half of what it is in the USA, but you can save even more moving to the Philippines where you still get over 50 pesos for each dollar and where the cost of living is even less. One fact difficult for some is that luxury products and luxury living can be more costly in these countries that have fewer luxuries. The gain is achieved by living in concert with local culture. Stay far away from the gringo belt along the malecon where most gringos want to live; then, learn to live in concert with locals buying from local markets and treasuring the cultural aspects - usually there's so much going on you don't even need to pay for entertainment.
We are here on vacation and the prices are like amalfi coast Italy only amalfi is 1000x more beautiful, food is better and the people are more hospitable and lovely. It’s absolutely not worth coming here even for vacation
the cost of living has definitely gone up over the years. everything the last two years even has doubled. i try to buy groceries for the month (last 3 weeks usually) and i cant get away now with out spending 5000 pesos... used to be about 3000 and that was for two people now im just buying for myself and its 5k. i have a vacation rental property with a pool. the pool service for 2 times a week used to be 2200 pesos a month... now 6500. a pacifico beer was under 30 pesos most places.. now 40-50 pesos at the same regular places. if you are only paying 750usd a month for a place with a pool thats a hell of a deal and you wont find many places that cheap. my 4 apartments with a pool in la cruz de huanacaxtle close to the beach runs for 1800 usd a month and this 2024 season its going up to 2200usd... and thats for the one bedrooms units my two bedroom is 2400 and going up to 2800usd a month for high season. and im even keeping them just under the running rate for similar properties near by. most are 3k usd a month and some of those dont include utilities like mine does. mexico (pv area) is not the affordable place it used to be! if you are retiree and on a pension.. sure it can work for ya. if you still need to work please dont come here with the idea youll find work unless you create it for yourself and the only option you have really is owning a rental property... keep in mind october to may is the high season and you will have a hard time booking in low season. high season im always fully booked but low season.... its pretty slim, so much that i practical shut down and do renovations, ill rent my pool out to friends for their kids birthday parties but im by no means making any money in low season. word of advice is to come down for a few months in high season... see how it is for yourself and then try coming down in august and feel the height of rain season and see if you could even survive it, then youll know if you could be here year round.
Thank you
What are the prices now that we are close to 2024? Very informative, thank you🤗
Hola, Larissa. My husband and I are headed down to Nuevo Vallarta in a couple of weeks. Getting our TR. Are there places in your condo complex for rent? I saw the video on your place and that’s what we are looking for. Would love to meet you while in town.
Thank you for the great information Larissa! Can you tell me the “tienda” produce market in the video where is that located ? Is it behind the medical center in Nuevo ?
Yes, in this video I showed farmers market behind the hospital in Nuevo, but there are many little local stores on another side of HW , near Chadraui and Wall Mart . Thank you for watching!!!
I pay much less for a two bedroom/2 bath, with four split ac units. My apartment is less than 20,000 pesos, with no utilities included, in Versalles. The beach is an easy 8 minute walk.
Good for you!!! Yes, it is easier to find a place when you live here.
I've seen 1 bedroom units with ocean views go for as little as $1600 a month so I think this is off. for $2500 you can almost get a 3 bedroom unit in some cases.
Why are grocery stores more expensive in nuevo Vallarta?
What if you wanted to buy a 2-bdrm ocean view condo, $200,000 budget?
Not in the Banderas Bay unfortunately. $200,000 doesn't go very far here. Check my daughters channel for more info. @ElenaNevza
All this time I’ve been watching you and Elena and never realized that she was your daughter! You are both great and I watch religiously while dreaming of my someday move to PV!
@@mlucie2004 thank you very much Lucie for your kind words and following us on CZcams 😻
Great video!! My question regards health insurance/medical care. I'm considering moving from the US w/ a preexisting condition (I'm in my early 60's), and I haven't seen much info on people like me. I've seen lots of info from expats in Mexico along the lines of, "I broke my arm, went to the hospital and they xrayed and set in 2 hours for $200!!" But what if you have something big like a heart attack? And is insurance available for someone like me? And I do understand given my age and health issues, no one wants to insure me because I probably am not profitable for a company. Thanks again for the info in the video!!
Hi Pam
I can’t give you a straight answer to your question. My best suggestion is to find a broker in PV
and ask all your questions , maybe you have to fill out the questioner and go from there.
Excellent
would you suggest renting over buying in Mexico?
It really depends on your long term goals. I would say rent first to see if you love it here.
I doing see the housing guide
Great! Let me know if you found it helpful.
Hi, Do you know of any new home communities within 15 min walk to beach anywhere between south puerto vallarta and bucerias being built or completed?? No more than $450,000usd. We are coming in July to get our Temp Residency🎉!!!
Hi Kat
My daughter is an expert on real estate, and it’s better if you contact her with all your questions. She has CZcams channel where she shares her experience with real estate in PV and areas . Name of her channel is Elena Nevza , you can find her contact info on her channel.
Thank you for watching my CZcams videos .:))
Contact me by email larissasokla@gmail.com and we go from there.
Not cheap anymore
One time you give low rent for apartment rental now you go u go up you are not giving the low prices when a person is on a budget such as getting social security
I will be showing different options in the upcoming videos. Check my free guide for tips on how to find the best rentals.
