I love this home, can they take $280k US
@fossidoesmexico40275 ай бұрын
Hi Maria. Thank you so much for writing. I'm sorry to say, this home sold within 10 hours of this video for full price and today, a year later, with added renovations, it would probably list for $495K. Things here are just going up, up, up. Unfortunately, houses in great areas usually sell for list price or even sometimes, more than list price. But don't worry, there are homes out there that could sale for $280K. So when are you coming so I can show then to you? I'm sure we can find one you could make look very similar to this one! Looking forward to your arrival?? Linda

This video was taken by a firm I no long work with, and so to take their information out (which was necessary), the new videographer had to come up with something, and putting that band along the bottom got the video still playing, but their info taken out. It was a trade off. Only TWO videos are like that. See my other videos at Biencom International Real Estate. There is no black band aross the bottom of those.

Hi Roberto! Thank you so much for loving Rich Deb's Villager House in Ajijic. I also very much loved this home (and the owners). But alas, they have had to leave and the new owners have made this home 'their home'. They have made amazing changes to the house and in the new year, with their permission, I might make a new video and show what can be done to an 'already' great home to make it 'your home' when you buy it! It is so different to do that here in Mexico. It is not at all what you would expect to pay for such an upgrade...and that is what I want people to see. It will not be whether you like A better than B, but what you can do for a small amount of money to change a home to 'your own style'...Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting. Linda

Has the property sold?
@fossidoesmexico40279 ай бұрын
Hi Gabriel, Yes, I'm afraid this property has sold. BUT, if you are in the area, I have others I can show you. Problem is, if you are not here right now, there is no use even looking, as homes in this price range last only hours on the market. When are you planning a trip? There a brand new remodel with fantastic lake view, just three houses away...same street WITH a separate, full Casita for rentals. It listed 2 days ago. It's $399K. Prices have gone up....but this house has HUGE VIEWS and a rental and could also come most furnished. The $225K houses are now far and few between on a Privada in the East Village. Our prices only go up...which is a great investment; but we are also a 'cash only' country.... Anyway, we do have houses in the low twos, but not in this neighborhood....but for sure, you would like them. Let me know if you are coming for a buying visit? OR if you are here (Even Better!).

After a little research and Google mapping, I was able to find the Google map street view. I see to the left is a huge mansion (love to see the inside of that one) and to the right the Bodega Bar and Restaurant. I wonder how noisy they are as a neighbor. lol. And they are a few blocks from the Lake Chapala Society, so perfect location. I do love this street/neighborhood and was wondering how often homes come on the market here. It may be 3-5 years before I retire, but this area is ideal. Also, so mentioned in another video of yours that you also own a huge house in Ajijic and was wondering if you had a video on your place or how you came to find it. I just love watching these videos and hearing other peoples stories on how they made Lake Chapala area their home.

@@LC-bk7zw Hi Larry. I think it's important as a great Realtor and video personality, that I respond as quickly as I can to everyone who writes. Hey, that big mansion next door is actually MY house! Ha. And yes, we will be taking a video of this house in late October, as it will go on the market in mid November. I am also building 'another mansion' on the Privada behind my house (and Casa Verde/the Village Jewel). We will video that one also and it will also go on the market at the same time. Whichever sells first, I will take the other off; as I need a place to live, but I also need the money to finish my final three houses and selling just one of these will build those three. Neither of these 'mansions' will be inexpensive. Eventually you'll see. This one is about 7000 sf with a huge new pool, fabulous lake views from the second and third levels....very Italian and New York...not Mexican at all. After you have 'done a Mexican home' you are ready to move on to other styles. My first home was fully decked out Mexican. The single man who bought the house next door, has absolutely changed it...everything. The backyard is very male and barren. (But be exercises in the pool everyday and only has an electric bicycle for transportation! The upstairs is 100% different. He did not change much of the downstairs except get rid of the fans, add A/C and adding much better lighting. But it is NOT the same house that is in the video. People do that. They buy it because they love it, and then when they start living in it, they decide to make it more of their 'own' taste...and well they should! I am taking a fixer upper listing about four doors away (closer to La Floresta), but it will sell right away, just like Casa Verde did; within 10 hours of the video dropping, Tony from Albuquerque, having NEVER even visited Ajijic, bought it, full price, sight unseen and LOVES IT. La Bodega is quite calm these days...in fact, it will probably be closed in 2024, as they are building small rental Casitas in the rear. More money in renting AirBnbs than bad Karaoke! Ha. Thanks for 'liking and subscribing'...means a lot. Linda

Hi itodave100. Very funny. House sold in 15 minutes for MORE than full price; so I'm afraid your offer is a bit late. But thanks for watching. Perhaps you might want to check out Chapalamls.com and get a picture of the prices of homes in Ajijic and various locations; as of course, in any real estate market; prices are always first based on the three magic words: Location. Location. Location. There certainly are less expensive homes, and none are $55K anywhere you would want to live, but it could give you some ideas about prices and how many are 'under contract' immediately. Once you get our MLS, click "residential" then click on the area: AJIJIC VILLAGE, or AJIJIC and see what you can find. I agree that home prices have gone way up since I first moved here 22 years ago, but the pretty much is the same anywhere in the world. Mexico is no exception.

Currently, their interest rate is 9-10% for a 15-year loan using your credit score from the US. It is not an easy process, but at least it now exists!

I love this home, can they take $280k US
Hi Maria. Thank you so much for writing. I'm sorry to say, this home sold within 10 hours of this video for full price and today, a year later, with added renovations, it would probably list for $495K. Things here are just going up, up, up. Unfortunately, houses in great areas usually sell for list price or even sometimes, more than list price. But don't worry, there are homes out there that could sale for $280K. So when are you coming so I can show then to you? I'm sure we can find one you could make look very similar to this one! Looking forward to your arrival?? Linda
I enjoy your presentations but... when the tours start I turn off. The videos are too high ceilings. We can't see the lower parts of the house. Sorry, hope this is a helpful comment. You have a beautiful personality 😊
It is helpful delindahess-sump; except it can't be changed....sorry. This video was taken by a firm I no long work with, and so to take their information out (which was necessary), the new videographer had to come up with something, and putting that band along the bottom got the video still playing, but their info taken out. It was a trade off. Only TWO videos are like that. See my other videos at Biencom International Real Estate. There is no black band aross the bottom of those. Thank you for your comment, I'm sure it disturbs a lot of people. I wish I were a magician, but alas, I am not. Have a great weekend.
Beatiful house congratulations to linda
Hi Roberto! Thank you so much for loving Rich Deb's Villager House in Ajijic. I also very much loved this home (and the owners). But alas, they have had to leave and the new owners have made this home 'their home'. They have made amazing changes to the house and in the new year, with their permission, I might make a new video and show what can be done to an 'already' great home to make it 'your home' when you buy it! It is so different to do that here in Mexico. It is not at all what you would expect to pay for such an upgrade...and that is what I want people to see. It will not be whether you like A better than B, but what you can do for a small amount of money to change a home to 'your own style'...Thank you for watching and thank you for commenting. Linda
Has the property sold?
Hi Gabriel, Yes, I'm afraid this property has sold. BUT, if you are in the area, I have others I can show you. Problem is, if you are not here right now, there is no use even looking, as homes in this price range last only hours on the market. When are you planning a trip? There a brand new remodel with fantastic lake view, just three houses away...same street WITH a separate, full Casita for rentals. It listed 2 days ago. It's $399K. Prices have gone up....but this house has HUGE VIEWS and a rental and could also come most furnished. The $225K houses are now far and few between on a Privada in the East Village. Our prices only go up...which is a great investment; but we are also a 'cash only' country.... Anyway, we do have houses in the low twos, but not in this neighborhood....but for sure, you would like them. Let me know if you are coming for a buying visit? OR if you are here (Even Better!). Thank you for watching and commenting. Linda Fossi

Hi Renee. What a lovely, kind thing to say. I know I may not be everyone's favorite (ha!), but I love being one of your favorites; someone you enjoy watching. I've been 'out of touch' with video's lately because of many reasons: Surgery. Recovery. Busy at work. Busy selling houses. Busy building houses and very busy getting this house ready for market. My next upcoming video, called "The House of Bellissimo's" could be videoed this week...not sure...a few things left to get and set up for the house to be perfect...so maybe the week of US Thanksgiving (which I figure wouldn't be a bad launch date; as it would give everyone something to watch when they are falling into a food coma ~ if you are not into football ~ or the game is over).

Hi. I wish I could, but I and the 'talent', not the cinematographer or editor. Once it's done, it's done. Sorry. Hope you enjoyed the video though, in spite of the banner. Have a great day.
the house is beautiful. The ID banner across the bottom of the video is distracting and cuts off too large of a portion of the video. If 1/2 the size, it could still be present and less annoying.

@@fossidoesmexico4027 Hi Linda, I wasn't expecting such a quick response. : ) After viewing a few more of your videos I keep coming back to this one as it is the exact style I would want, that garden area is amazing! After a little research and Google mapping, I was able to find the Google map street view. I see to the left is a huge mansion (love to see the inside of that one) and to the right the Bodega Bar and Restaurant. I wonder how noisy they are as a neighbor. lol. And they are a few blocks from the Lake Chapala Society, so perfect location. I do love this street/neighborhood and was wondering how often homes come on the market here. It may be 3-5 years before I retire, but this area is ideal. Also, so mentioned in another video of yours that you also own a huge house in Ajijic and was wondering if you had a video on your place or how you came to find it. I just love watching these videos and hearing other peoples stories on how they made Lake Chapala area their home. Yes, I did like this video and am I subscriber and look forward to seeing more of your home tours!!! Thx again, Larry
@@LC-bk7zw Hi Larry. I think it's important as a great Realtor and video personality, that I respond as quickly as I can to everyone who writes. Hey, that big mansion next door is actually MY house! Ha. And yes, we will be taking a video of this house in late October, as it will go on the market in mid November. I am also building 'another mansion' on the Privada behind my house (and Casa Verde/the Village Jewel). We will video that one also and it will also go on the market at the same time. Whichever sells first, I will take the other off; as I need a place to live, but I also need the money to finish my final three houses and selling just one of these will build those three. Neither of these 'mansions' will be inexpensive. Eventually you'll see. This one is about 7000 sf with a huge new pool, fabulous lake views from the second and third levels....very Italian and New York...not Mexican at all. After you have 'done a Mexican home' you are ready to move on to other styles. My first home was fully decked out Mexican. The single man who bought the house next door, has absolutely changed it...everything. The backyard is very male and barren. (But be exercises in the pool everyday and only has an electric bicycle for transportation! The upstairs is 100% different. He did not change much of the downstairs except get rid of the fans, add A/C and adding much better lighting. But it is NOT the same house that is in the video. People do that. They buy it because they love it, and then when they start living in it, they decide to make it more of their 'own' taste...and well they should! I am taking a fixer upper listing about four doors away (closer to La Floresta), but it will sell right away, just like Casa Verde did; within 10 hours of the video dropping, Tony from Albuquerque, having NEVER even visited Ajijic, bought it, full price, sight unseen and LOVES IT. La Bodega is quite calm these days...in fact, it will probably be closed in 2024, as they are building small rental Casitas in the rear. More money in renting AirBnbs than bad Karaoke! Ha. Thanks for 'liking and subscribing'...means a lot. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Wow Linda, what a small world that your house is right next door!! I can't wait to see inside your house as it looks so stunning from the outside. You sound like quit the real estate developer, which must keep you very busy. I'm sad that Casa Verde was changed so much as it had so much Mexican charm. : ( But I guess he's allowed to make it his own. How does he like the restaurant next door noise wise? Guess it makes it very convenient to get a bite to eat though. lol I'm looking forward to seeing your fixer upper home projects as well as your other projects. Be cool if we could see the before and after photos/videos. I love watching the fixer upper shows here in the States.

I'd like to offer 55k
Hi itodave100. Very funny. House sold in 15 minutes for MORE than full price; so I'm afraid your offer is a bit late. But thanks for watching. Perhaps you might want to check out Chapalamls.com and get a picture of the prices of homes in Ajijic and various locations; as of course, in any real estate market; prices are always first based on the three magic words: Location. Location. Location. There certainly are less expensive homes, and none are $55K anywhere you would want to live, but it could give you some ideas about prices and how many are 'under contract' immediately. Once you get our MLS, click "residential" then click on the area: AJIJIC VILLAGE, or AJIJIC and see what you can find. I agree that home prices have gone way up since I first moved here 22 years ago, but the pretty much is the same anywhere in the world. Mexico is no exception. Thank you for your comment, I always like reading them. Linda
What am amazing house! I wish we were ready to go so we could buy this jewel. Everything about it is perfect for us. We are enjoying your videos and hope to come do a tour this spring.
Hi Elizabeth Gregg! Thank you so much for your kind comments. Well, for sure, this is gone, but there will be just the 'right house' for you and your husband when you are ready. I look forward to hearing from you when you are ready to venture down. [email protected] is my email. Let me know when and I'll help you in every way to get down here and have a great time. Cheers, Linda
Very nice and interesting. And I like your presentation, and your Spanish very much. Wish I was that good lol
Hi Healthy Living in Ajijic! Thank you very much for your kind comment (especially about my Spanish which I'm always getting called on as 'horrible' by my two friends who are fluent in Spanish!) Ha. And I love that you loved my presentation. I love doing shows that show people who we do here in Ajijic. I hope you clicked like and more than that clicked that darn SUBSCRIBE button...funny how that makes such a big difference to the KZread powers! Again, thank you. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Of course, I did both! And had subscribed to your channel when I first found it. Btw, I released a new video yesterday, too. It's about Chapala and focuses more on my photos that I took on my several visits there (one won Best in the Show in the Spring Show in Centro Cultural in Ajijic this year).
There's only one reason she's selling this house: Because she bought it for less than $200k and wants to flip it for $350k.
Hi Rich Smith! Is that a good thing or a bad thing? Everyone is allowed to buy, renovate and sell...that's what RE is all about. But actually, the true reason she sold is that she actually wanted a much larger yard for her animals...many dogs and a bigger pool. That is the reason. And she found it, in La Floresta and she bought it and she is just about to start her remodel to make it the house she wants 'for now'...and yes, she will one day want to sell that house also and hopefully, she will make the money she put into it and more! THAT'S CALLED INVESTMENT and all Real Estate is an investment. Just like a brokerage account or stock market account. Except, they say that RE is the best of all those investments as the up and downs are not daily or drastic. I know you know this. Thanks for watching Rick Smith and your comments. Always appreciated. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 I'm sure all the local Mexicans there in Ajijic who have to live in areas populated by wealthy, old Americans and Canadians love being priced out of a small town in their own country. I've visited Ajijic and Chapala many times and I really don't blame the resentment the local Mexicans feel being pushed out of their own cities and towns. I have lived here in Mexico for many years and I speak with the local people and they agree with me.
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Why would I need a Real Estate agent in Mexico that doesn't even possess a Real Estate license? I don't.
@@Resmith18SR excuse me, where is your license to speak for all Mexicans, especially not being a Mexican yourself? Take it from a Mexican, the vast majority of Mexicans welcome all Americans, rich or poor, that come to our country out of love for its culture, traditions, and its people. They help our economy, enrichen our culture and for the most part, respect their new home, Mexico. If your social circle of Mexicans consists if nothing but bitter and resentful Mexicans, I'm truly sorry for you. You're missing out on a lot of the Mexican warmth. Expand that tiny, sad social circle of yours.
@@Georgeed Perdóname Georgeed. I really don't need you to tell me that I can't have my opinion about Mexican people especially after living here for over 20 years. So you're saying that only Mexicans can have an opinion about Mexico or that their opinions are superior to any one else who has lived in the country? Hundreds of thousands of Mexican people that live in the U.S. have different opinions about the U.S. and no one questions their opinions just based and solely on the fact that they are Mexican. If you ever talk to people here in Mexico and I contrary to what you say have many friends here who agree with me. Being welcoming is not the same as addressing a real issue of gentrification and being priced out of areas and cities like San Miguel de Allende, Ajijic, Guadalajara, D.F. I agree that the vast majority of Mexican people are very welcoming and nice but they also have a right to feel that they are being priced out of certain areas. I certainly don't need you to question the quality of my friendships, that's very insulting because you have absolutely no idea about me or anyone I know here.
Ive been to Ajijic many times and I would have paid about 80K USD for this tiny house. That's about what it was built for. Id also like to know what acting school you attended in the US, Linda? You felt the need to mention that you owned an 8,000 square foot home? You must be making nice commissions from selling all these bargain homes.
Hi again Rick Smith. Boy, you are active today Rick, and not in a very good mood, I expect. Obviously, you are not current on prices in this part of Mexico. The lot alone, uncleared and unwalled, was over $100K USD. The build was over $125K USD. There was actually no profit for these sellers as they never had intended to sell. Amazing how you know so much. Please come, visit, and give us a master class with all your knowledge of Mexican real estate in Ajijic. We look forward to it. As always, thank you for watching, and thank you for your comments. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Hi Linda, I've lived here in Mexico for many years and I'm not a real estate agent here trying to sell properties that just a couple of years ago were half the price. Anyone who doubts that can look that up and also I'm wondering if all of your clients are aware that you don't need any kind of a R.E. license in order to sell properties in Mexico? I'm in a really great mood Linda and I certainly don't need you to characterize my mood. I'm sure that there's no profit in selling that particular home, and that you're just donating your time in order to sell it. And I'm sure you're doing just fine there financially Linda.
I don’t understand why people like you feel the need to make such negative comments. If you don’t like her videos, don’t watch them.
@@ronaldschroder1643 Thank you for your support Ronald, it means a lot to me. I also wonder why some people just have so much anger for such uncalled-for reasons. Well, thank goodness there are 100 kind people to every unkind one. Have a great Thanksgiving! Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 we all need to just stop responding to this joker…thats what he’s getting off on.
Linda, I love this and it makes me miss Ajijic so much!
Oh wow...thank you Mary! Yes, you and Todd need to find a way to 'REMOTE WORK FROM HOME'....so many are now doing that here! You are the perfect candidates to enjoy this kind of fun. Ajijic has so much to offer. Thank you for liking this video and thank you for taking the time to write a comment. Hugs, Linda
My favorite dish!!
Hey Buena Vida Estate; first, thanks for SUBSCRIBING! Secondly, thanks for watching this video. It was so much fun to make...crazy; but fun! I was honestly surprised that it tasted better than any I had ever had in any restaurant here...yep. True! I hope you can watch all my videos (currently there are only six! I just started...I think six weeks ago). We are getting better with each video! Cheers, and thank you. Linda
Ironic that the dead woman on the right is the most ALIVE woman I know! Linda Fossi, AWESOME story teller, you are beautiful, dead or alive!! ; )
Ha! Yes...I think you might be very correct and being very much alive! Thank you for loving my story telling skills! Cheers, LInda
Hello Linda, Can you confirm the lot size and construction size in m2 THANKS
Hi Luis! How are you doing today. Well, Luis...that house has sold! Good houses in that price range do not stay on the market long. But just for your information, if someone (me) gives the square footage you just DIVIDE it by 10.76 to equal square meters. And if someone gives it to you in square meters, reverse that...or times the m2 by 10.76 to equal the square footage! So when are you coming down so I can find you a house like this one? Thanks for watching and I hope you hit LIKE and most of all, I hope you hit SUBSCRIBE, as that helps me and my team move up on the KZread algorithm. Cheers, Linda
Very nice video. Thank you.
Thank you TonyLiveTV; it was a blast to make this video. Really forward to our next one ...our LIVE take on IRON CHEF MEXICO! Ha. Hope you're a subscriber! We would really appreciate that Tony. Cheers, Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 I an absolutely a subscriber. Maybe one of these days my wife and I will come visit you Ajijic.
@@TonyLiveTV Hey Tony! That would be great if you and wife heading down Mexico way! Honestly, there is no better place to live and have fun and now, working remoting from here is a no-brainer! Thanks for being a 'fan'. I love that! Linda
That beautiful house!!! 👌🏻👍🏻🇲🇽🍃🌿🌱⛰️🌴🌲🤩‼️
Yes, Maria! It is a beautiful house! But we can make almost any house 'feel' like that. Come on down...let's find you one!

Hola Maria! Hola Marie, muchas gracias por tu atención y por tomarte el tiempo de comentar! Linda
You are so sweet and I loved watching you cook so naturally and not over editing your video. Thank you for letting us watch and live the cooking process with you. Ran into your channel by mistake but I subscribed. Keep these great videos coming.
Hi Oscar! Thank you! Yes, I truly appreciate that you understand that we 'all make mistakes' and the key to life...is just fixing them and plugging along. I want all of this to be real. Just enough editing to get rid of things that waste the viewer's time. Thank you so much for LIKE, SUBSCRIBING, and mostly for your comments. Cheers, Linda
Thank you for sharing your thorough knowledge of Ajijic history and showing the house, I will be referring to your channel in my future videos.
Hi! Thank you so much for enjoying my videos and taking the time to write such a lovely and rewarding comment. I would be thrilled to be referenced on your channel. Next week, we will have a new Day of Dead video and maybe our IRON CHEF video will be ready. So many fun things to do in Ajijic, as you know. Most of my home videos I put up on the BIENCOM International Real Estate channel. Please check it out. Also, very soon, I will be making a big announcement about an Internationally known firm, in operation for over 40 years, who have chosen me as their International Spokesperson for their new digital presence! All very exciting! Again, thank you! Linda Fossi
@@fossidoesmexico4027 It all sounds wonderful! You're such a good speaker and presenter 👋👋
@@healthylivinginajijic A giant THANK YOU! I just subscribed to your channel and can't wait to start watching your videos! Have a great weekend. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Oh, thank you so much! Much appreciated. I'm at my home base in Nashville now but have my winter in Ajijic booked already, dreaming of becoming a full-timer there
@@healthylivinginajijic When you are ready, I know I can find the perfect house to meet your needs; in fact, if you have some money now; we can get one and you can rent it out for the time you are not here, which would pay your property taxes, water, and living expenses while you ARE here. A win-win...but of course, Mexico is a cash-only country, so you would have to have the money...but, I know we can find something suitable and 'money making' (five rentable in addition to a separate house for you!) for under $300K....In Upper Ajijic! Just ideas!
The outside is traditional hacienda! The inside is very americano. That being said, the price will sell it and someone can embellish it when they buy it.
Hi Juan, you are certainly right about someone sweeping in up (almost the first real showing), and they have, indeed, embellished to the point of truly AMAZING! Thank you for watching Juan and thank you for taking the time to comment. I hope you hit like and most of all "SUBSCRIBE"...as that's what helps me move up on the KZread scale so more people can see my work and my channel. Have a great day. Linda
Thank you and great show.
Thank you Osborne Bay. I appreciate you viewing my video(s) and like and subscribing. That means a lot to me. Cheers, Linda
Beautiful Home. My husband and I are looking for something like this. I’m gonna send you an email to start the conversation.
Excellent Trasey! I am looking forward to receiving your email. [email protected] or by WhatsApp for quick chats: 333 502-7831. Can't wait to find out when you and your husband will be here! Thank you for LIKING my video (I hope you did hit like) and even SUBSCRIBE, as that puts me 'somewhere unknown, but better...in KZreads algorithms", so I will be seen more. Appreciate that you both watched the video and that you took the time to make a comment. Cheers, Linda
Gorgeous house! Everything I'm looking for, in my price range, in the area I want to move to ... in a few years. :o(
Hi Callow! Well, for sure, there will be other homes 'in the area' and you can make them look like this home, just like this homeowner did! But, in a few years, the prices will not be in the same range...sorry to say. Anyway, you can 'get your foot in the door' with any house that will have gone up in value in these years you have to wait for your forever home??? We can find something in a good area, in the 200s and you can buy and rent out until you are ready and it will have gone up also and you should just put the tax-free rent money in the bank and save it all! Just ideas! Thank you for watching and I hope you SUBSCRIBED so you can get alerted when one of my new videos drops! Cheers, Linda
Great show, really enjoy it. I wish I could have this house. I live in Canada, I may visit Mexico someday and see if it a place for me for retirement.
Thank you very much for liking my show. That is very kind of you to take the time to write a comment. I hope you hit the LIKE button too and even the SUBSCRIBE button, as that helps me a lot for KZread to move my videos into more prominent locations on their great website. Again thank you.

Hello Linda, what is the Street for this house?
@@Love_prompt_tapping_therapy Hello. The street is 16th de Septiembre.... The date of Mexico's Independence Day! The house is sold, but I have another listing coming up on this street very soon; it will be more expensive, as it is a newer and better home. That price will be between $435K and $450K but also furnished. If you want to go all the way, I have a Villa on that street coming up in late December. It will be $1,520,000M. And yes, we have many homes here in the millions of dollars! You always get what you pay for! Cheers, Linda
Thank you for sharing, I will fellow your show.
I always enjoy your history lessons.
Hello Synthia! Thank you so much for your kind comments. I truly love that you enjoy the tid-bits of information I pass along. Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and I hope you also clicked 'like' and even more so, that darn 'subscribe' button! Ha. It's just how KZread keeps track of the presenter and then moves your videos into better positions...so it does help me. Thank you for your kindness. Linda
very beautiful home, somebody turn the piano players music sheet. I think he's stuck playing the same 6 notes 📝
Jajajaja (Spanish version of hahahaha). Hi Billy. YOU are so correct! Music under these home videos is very difficult; as KZread only allows certain 'public pieces' to be used. Horrible selection; but my videographer does the best he can (the presenter gets 'no' say in the music, sorry to say). But all in all, it all comes together, even if those six darn notes will be stuck in your head for hours! Thank you for watching Billy and I hope, in spite of the music you hit LIKE and even better Subscribe, as that certainly helps me, as a newbie here, get better placement. Most of all though, I appreciate your comments. Have a great day, Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 I still watched, great stuff
@@billygene8428 Thank you Billy. And just because it makes KZread put me in a better position, it would be great if you would hit LIKE and even SUBSCRIBE...that one really helps me as it takes a lot of those to move you anywhere! Take care Billy and hey, are you thinking of moving down here? If so, please give me a call, I'd love to show you this amazing town: 333 502-7831. Cheers, Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 Please no music, it's just distracting.
@@janeclayton151 Hi Jane, Thank you for watching 'anyway' and taking the time to comment. I'm sorry about the music, but I actually have no say in that. The videographer adds what he feels is necessary, but he reads these comments also and maybe he can make the music have less volume. Not sure; but we can try. Keep watching! Cheers, Linda
Hi Linda!, I love your videos, they are done just right, showing all the house areas & the recording is slow and have enough time to see the property good. I also think your beautiful personality, makes the viewers to enjoy, your videos even more! Thank you!
Oh, Alerva Valley! Thank you so much for your kind words and for "liking" my video, but especially for taking the time to actually write it in the comments. I hope you will also subscribe to my channel; that way you will get an alert each time I make another video; plus it helps me move up on the KZread "system". Thank you again, Alerva. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 My pleasure Linda!! . I am suscribed to your channel now :) and I already saw one of your videos, "How to make chiles rellenos", one of my favorites' mexican food. I am mexican and I've been living in California since 1989 and I would like to buy a house in Chapala, Ajijic or any other place around that area, in the near future!
@@alervavalley8002 Oh wow, that's great. Every view, every "watched minute ~ over five minutes" counts toward "whatever it is that KZread counts"...ha. Who knows, it's all a mystery to me. I just love making these videos and meeting new people like you. I hope one day, in the near future, when you head down Mexico way, you'll call me: 333 502-7831, and it would be my pleasure to give you the grand tour and find the right house, in the right area, that you love and can afford! Believe me, there is no time like the present, as (unlike the US) home prices (as we are all cash...no home loans) are not dropping ~ quite the contrary. Great to get in when you can and very easy to RENT your home out and make GOOD MONEY! You can contact me here or at [email protected] or WhatsApp using the number above. Have a great day Alerva and thank you again for your support. It means a lot to me. Linda
@@fossidoesmexico4027 You do great with the videos ;) . I go once a year to Mexico, usually around June or July. Thank you for giving me your phone number, I would love to meet you down there, next time I come, I can't wait to see properties :) I got the feeling you will find the right house for me . I own a house here, in Sacramento, and I would be selling it and using that income, to buy a house in Mexico . Thank you again. I'll look forward to meeting you.
Fantastic Alerva. I am FROM SACRAMENTO! Delma Way as a child, Howe Avenue Elementary School, Encinca High School, and then we moved to Auburn/Newcastle! I did leave when I was 18 for Manhattan Beach, CA...but I am a Cali girl all the way! So look forward to you coming! We will have fun looking for houses! Cheers, Linda
Can you do financing? If you do how i am from guadalajara mx living in usa
Hi Hector...YES...after many, many, many years of NO BANK financing, one bank has opened up financing for homes. Currently, their interest rate is 9-10% for a 15-year loan using your credit score from the US. It is not an easy process, but at least it now exists! For this house, that would not be possible as it has sold; but there are many other homes available for purchase. So Hector, are you thinking of coming down this way sometime soon? If so, it would be my pleasure to show you any and all homes in your price range. Please let me know your plans. January and February are prime times to visit Ajijic, as that is when most homes come on the market. More to choose from! Please let me know your plans. Thank you so much for watching my video and I hope you click LIKE and even more, I hope you clicked SUBSCRIBE so all my new videos will come to your email. Thank you again, Linda
Hello Linda, as a recommendation, I suggest you remove the black banner that appears all the time at the bottom of the video, in this way, the property will be appreciated even better. I love the way you describe the properties. I'm your fan ! Blessings.
Hello Ser...and thank you for your comment and I could not agree more! But alas, as have no choice with these two videos, as that is how they were done. Future videos will not have that. But these two: DebRich's Villages and Casa Verde/The Village Jewel must remain with that below. So sorry. But thanks for commenting and thanks for understanding that somethings are just out of the control of the commenter. I hope you still clicked LIKE and that you subscribe to my channel.
