Live in Los Cabos: Almost Monthly Newsletter

I hope you are well on your way to enjoying this summer to the fullest! Down herein Cabo, we sure are. The Blackwell family is moving forward to build our Cabo home as well. We will be keeping you posted as we move forward.

As for the Cabo real estate market... it has never been stronger than it is right now. In some areas, it has not been uncommon to realize at least a 30 percent increase in the value over a two-year period. We are seeing the mid range beach front condo in San Jose del Cabo continue to appreciate and sell faster than anything else.

Also, I wanted to let you know that my business is run almost exclusively by referral because quality people like you continue to refer my services. Please let me know if you have any friends or associates that may be interested in buying or selling down here. I'm never too busy to take excellent care of any of your referrals.

In addition, there will also be other family-friendly social areas with beautifully lit pathways and close covered parking assigned to each villa.

Casa Blackwell Update
Ground breaking, and the start of block laying.

If you ask Owen(our oldest boy) what is going on you will likely get something like this: "Tractor moving dirt, Dumpy, dirt, guy drive tractor... moving dirt, lot, dumpy, dirt..." and so on. His talking has coincided with our preparation of the building pad, and what could be more exciting to a 2 year old boy than a tractor excavating right in front of him.

In preparation of building and needing some storage, we are having the construction crew build us a small storage area... a "bodega." and front wall/fence for privacy. The bodega will likely turn into a surf board storage and ding repair center once the house is finished. For now, it is a much needed space. It seemed like we were never going to get electricity to the lot. Day after day, week after week. "They'll be there tomorrow." Yea, right... MaƱana? We finally caught the local meter reader and had him inspect our site and radio in that it was ready to install. We got power the next day.

Whew, the challenges are just beginning... but we love it!

The Fish are Biting!
The sportfishing fleets found better action within ½ mile of shore than they did venturing as fart as 40miles offshore. For the most part the wind was mild, though on a few days the breeze from the northwest did kick up some, stirring the water up more than it already was. Anglers did report a wide variety of species caught this week, but the numbers of verall catches were not all that impressive for this time of year, it just seems that conditions have not stabilized yet and has resulted in inconsistent catches. Looking back on last years reports from the same time period we saw similar patterns and we know that all we can do is wait for it to pass, certainly by July, as the days become increasing warm and north wind dissipate, conditions will once again
become favorable for the pelagic gamefish. Most common fish were pargo colorado, yellow snapper, jack crevalle, sierra, and roosterfish. These fish were averaging 4 to 10 pounds, but there were some much larger specimens accounted for, including roosterfish to 60 pounds.
