Just looking at the Chapala MLS site, chapalamls.net , there seems to be little change in prices over the past 3 years, since we sold our house in Ajijic.

The UV radiation really degrades tires. Replacing every 4-5 years, like mentioned above, would be advised. Your life might depend on it. Regarding brands, Cooper Discovery used to be a good tire but my experience has been good with Michelin and Bridgestone.

Might be just a reaction to housing prices in the US. I would estimate, based on comparables in my zip code, that the home we bought here in Greenville only 3 years ago is up about 50%.

The larger issue is that post-Pandemic travel is back in a big way and some of the services at airports are lagging in getting up to speed. I have never seen as big a crowd in Houston Immigration and Customs.

I was about 11:30 too.

It was like you describe when I flew in on Mar 30.

Suggest you call some real estate offices, like Chapala Coldwell Banker, the sponsor of this board.

Is the Chinese restaurant still open in Joco?

Had 2 pools in my lifetime, both sand filters and NEVER replaced the sand.

We had a good run in Ajijic, 2005-2020. We had often heard that the two primary reasons people moved back NOB were healthcare and grandchildren. Medicare issues kind of force one back to the US at some point. The seemingly out of control development should give people pause. In the last few years it isn't expats but rather Guadalajara (and elsewhere) residents that are scooping up properties. Just look on the chapalamls site and you see ALL of the units in the high-rise in La Floresta are under contract. If there are homes to buy, people will keep coming. Water issues keep cropping up. We had a 50,000 lt ajijibe at our house there. With nothing coming in, even that will go dry.

Come on Mod's

OK Moderators, lets get all this s#$t cleaned up. Thanks.

As an aside, problems with our on demand water heater greatly diminished after we installed a water softener.

We had Dish for years, first with a receiver piggy backing on our service in the US and here with the large 8 ft sat dish. When we discontinued Dish in the US we continued to have Dish through CP Electronics in Guadalajara. We added a smaller sat dish to get Dish Mexico. Never lost channels and always had good service from CP.

Try the Granary next to Gossips. Lots of spices.

We had dinner there on our recent visit. Fabulous in all respects.

Ditto for the Leal's.

You can park on Tempisque if it is full in front.

Had the occasion to eat at Blue Rose (their new location), El Fiesta (in Blue Rose's old location) and El Charro. All more than excellent. Nice to have TexMex back with El Fiesta.

When visiting last week, we had dinner there. Excellent as usual and what we remember. The remodel with white tablecloths add to the ambiance.

We never found tater tots anywhere lakeside. A restaurant in Guadalajara, Gambino's, on Sao Paulo in the Providencia neighborhood, had tater tots on their menu.

What is required at the Guadalajara airport upon entering the Customs area? I had read that the certificate is no longer required, only a rabies vaccination record.

Ibarra, All the years we were there, there were instances of dogs being abandoned in Mid-March into April. I leave it at that.

Some lain brain snowbirds have long dumped their dogs prior to going up north.

This on and off again high rise seems to be on again. Chapala MLS shows 9 listings for this project, just west of Hotel Real de Chapala.
