If you are considering purchasing a vacation home in Punta de Mita, you will likely have questions about how the real estate process in Mexico works. Our “Explained” series is designed to help educate you about how real estate transactions function in Mexico, so that you can select your dream branded residence at Susurros del Corazón with confidence.
The closing costs for real estate transactions in Mexico will vary based on several factors, including the property’s location, value, and the specific terms negotiated between buyer and seller. Understanding these costs is crucial in ensuring a smooth transaction and avoiding unexpected expenses.
Typically, closing costs in Mexico range from 5% to 10% of the property’s purchase price and include notary fees, which typically account for 1% to 2% of the purchase price. Unlike in the USA or Canada, notaries in Mexico play a critical role in the transaction, ensuring that all documents are legally sound and that the transfer of ownership adheres to all local laws.
Also including in closing costs is acquisition tax, which generally ranges from 2% to 4% of the property value, and the cost for the property registration, which can be around 1% of the purchase price. Other potential closing costs can include title insurance and inspection fees.
Understanding and planning for closing costs can help buyers avoid surprises and more confidently invest in a vacation home in Mexico.
