In Mexico over the last 10 years the real estate market has seen a major boom, especially in developed or developing coastal areas. Between 1995 and 2005 prices skyrocketed and fueled an increased number of new projects, the majority of which were sold as “pre-sales”. The first of these projects brought great returns to the buyers, who often times purchased at a 30% discount off the finished sales price. Furthermore, many of these projects went up in value 20 or 30% per year prior to being delivered, which made the investment even more profitable.

In an effort to keep you up to date, the following is the “Cliff’s Notes” version of what you need to understand. In 2007 the Mexican government modified the rules pertaining to the exemption of income tax obtained in the sale of primary residences. The main reason they did this was to close loopholes that allowed the upper class to avoid paying taxes on any homes they owned.
