Not happening anytime soon. If you find some sites with listings you will be lucky to see 10% of whats on the market. Prices will be super inflated because no one has ever paid asking price from a Mexican, its all negotiable. And in areas that are even the slightest bit dangerous many will be afraid to list their home even with a sign because someone will come and extort them. So good luck with that, maybe in 10 years you will get what you are hoping for.
I'd like to find a colonial building in a medium to small mountain town or on the coast. Not too trendy like Guanajuato or San Miguel de Allende, GTO--more like San Luis Potosi. Or even much smaller. Somewhere with a lively folk music culture, trees, plazas, and colonial buildings--in the mountains. I love son huasteco and son huapango, therefore I am interested in Xilitla. I have much travelling and research to do.
a few small towns that intrigue me:
Xilitla
Talpa de Allende
Coalcomán de Vázquez Pallares
Santa MarÃa Jaltianguis
Celestún
Your best bet is going to be physically going to these places and finding a local real estate agent, not one that deals with gringos but a local one.
Bets of luck. I've been to Celestun and was mighty intrigued by the place as well--even took pictures of some se vende signs on the walls. Okayish beach and with an authentic little Mexican town right there. Could develop a little expat scene if things went just right.
I have to learn how a gringo go about buying land in Mexico or Central America.
Who do you have to get in touch with? Can you trust the system in Mexico as a gringo doing business there especially if you are not a large corporation?
