What to Consider When Visiting Properties During High Season
Summer in Puerto Vallarta is one of the busiest times of the year—not only for tourism, but also for real estate activity. For buyers, this can mean a wider selection of available properties, but also certain challenges that require proper planning and professional guidance.
Key considerations to keep in mind:
1. Schedule visits in advance
Many owners rent out their properties during the summer months, which means availability for showings can be limited. Booking appointments early ensures better scheduling and a smoother experience.
2. Plan around local traffic
July and August bring heavier traffic, especially in areas like the Romantic Zone, Versalles, and Marina Vallarta. Opting for morning appointments or avoiding peak hours (midday and late afternoon) can make visits more efficient and enjoyable.
3. Confirm property availability
Short-term rentals are common during high season. Before scheduling a visit, it’s important to check with your real estate advisor whether the property is currently occupied and when it can be shown.
4. Observe the neighborhood at its most active
One advantage of visiting during the high season is being able to assess the area under real conditions—foot traffic, nearby services, general atmosphere, and safety. This helps form a more accurate impression of daily life in that location.
