Escalera Nautica, Nautical Ladder development project, may be coming to fruition at last. As evidence that area is just now beginning to undergo a period of rapid development, half of Playa de Paraiso’s units have already been pre-sold despite fact that project won’t be completed until June 2007.

Eric Garcia, Director of Sales at Playa del Paraiso, attributes increased interest in San Felipe real estate market to a number of factors. "Increasing numbers of affluent and retired Americans are searching for a less stressful lifestyle and they are finding exactly what they have been searching for in San Felipe.

A quiet seaside fishing village on Sea of Cortez, resort area is only a few hours drive from San Diego and Tucson and that makes community even more attractive because it is far more accessible than Cabo San Lucas," he says.

The second factor affecting development and increased interest in Baja real estate is that Mexican law now allows foreigners to own coastal property. "Up until mid-1990’s, foreigners were not allowed to own coastal property but creation trust agreements has eliminated that problem," Garcia says.
