Live in Los Cabos: Almost Monthly Newsletter

Almost Monthly Newsletter - May 2007
by Jeremiah Blackwell, REALTOR®

Greetings!
Now is the time to get down here to Cabo. As we approach summer the temperature and humidity rise. Some crazy people, like myself, love the summers down here. Can you blame me... VERY warm water... waves almost every day. And plenty of time to buy and sell real estate, with the longer days.

You might remember that I had mentioned the Peninsula condos a few months ago. These are the least expensive new construction 2 bedroom condos available in San Jose del Cabo. Starting at $218,400 USD, you can't go wrong. For those of you who would like to have luxury at a fraction of the price... Take a look at the real estate hot buy for this month.

I look forward to seeing you down here. Call me or email before you come. I'd love to schedule some time to show you the best deals around.

Tip of the Month
Ready to change the paradigm you might have of Mexico?

Have you ever thought of moving to Cabo? Most people say they could never live in Mexico. I was even one of those people five years ago. I told my wife, "I could never live here... it's dirty." What did I know? The truth was that I had not really opened my eyes to the truth that was set before me.

I was caught in the paradigm that everything in Mexico is dirty, poor quality, and risky. I couldn't see the pristine beaches, and unsurpassed pampering at locations like the One&Only Palmilla. I couldn't see the luxury villas right before my eyes whose quality far surpassed anything in the Central Coast of California. I couldn't see that ownership of real estate here was safe, secure and NOT A LEASE! Now, I know moving to another country is not for everyone. All I ask is that you try to clear the paradigm you might have of Mexico. Come for a visit... you might find yourself ready to at least own a vacation home, or ready to invest in a real
estate market that is still hotter than most areas of the US or Canada.

The Fish are Biting!

With the more favorable water conditions now being in the direction of the Sea of Cortez, this is where the majority of the sportfishing fleets are now concentrating their efforts. Striped marlin remained the most common species found offshore, numbers were down this past week due to various factors, including the rapidly changing water temperatures and the full moon. In recent days fleets were traveling as far north as Los Frailes in search of action. Dorado numbers had increased last week, but once again were very limited. It was also the same story for yellowfin tuna, some fish were seen feeding around the Desteladera Bank, but they were not interested in biting on anything the anglers offered.

The local panga fleets continued to report excellent action on smaller gamefish close to shore and off of the rock piles. Various species of pargo (snapper), jacks, pompano, cabrilla, grouper, triggerfish, amberjack and sierra were the most common catches. Most of these fish were weighing in the 3 to 10 pound range, but several specimens up to 20 pounds were accounted for and at least one grouper of 65 pounds was reported. The areas close to shore off of Cardon and La Salina were particularly productive. A few larger roosterfish are now being reported, mainly single fish spotted chasing baitfish or sierra, we look for an increase in these popular gamefish towards the end of the month.

Whale sharks are now starting to appear on the local fishing grounds, particularly around the Gordo Banks, May and June is typically when these monstrous fish migrate through this area, feeding on the abundant pelagic red crabs and other crustaceans. The combined panga fleets from La Playita sent out approximately 62 charters for the week, with anglers accounting for a fish count of: 4 striped marlin, 2 yellowfin tuna, 8 dorado, 496 various pargo, 36 cabrilla, 18 bonito, 188 sierra, 126 pompano, 8 golden jack, 144 triggerfish, 3 halibut and 15 amberjack.
