  1. Past hour
  2. Two things: First, the market has slowed significantly. Some suggest it is because of exchange rate shock others point to overly ambitious pricing. Look at the properties for sale in your are and do an honest comparison of features and price to yours. In a slow market the best pricing strategy is to offer more value for money than the competition. Make sure you have prepared the places well, decluttered, manicured landscaping, paint and repairs where needed. Second, look for the agency or agent that seems to sell more homes in your area. Folks, as a real estate company owns this board please respond to this request via PM, thanks.

  6. Hi, My listing just expired; I don't think the realtor I was using hustled for me. I am looking to hire another realtor who will get out and work hard to sell my home. Not one who will just post the listing and see what walks in the door looking. Does anyone have anyone to recommend? Thanks. Rick
  7. From TOB... Spanish https://tribunadelabahia.com.mx/abren-autopista-guadalajara-puerto-vallarta/ Translation.... At 2:00 p.m. this Wednesday, March 27, the Compostela to El Capomo section of the new Guadalajara-Puerto Vallarta highway was opened , which will leave behind the curves of federal highway 200. This section will be inaugurated with a minimum protocol act by the authorities due to the electoral ban. The flag was only taken from kilometer 53. "45 bridges, 7 interchanges, 3 tunnels and 3 viaducts..."
  8. It is still smoking, just flee past this week
  9. And to perfectly clear to compare apples to apples, name your "great streaming service" so that everyone is available to compare Clear Choice with your "perfect" solution. Nice way to highjack your own post tho, about traffic in order to call me out! LMAO
  10. Cool, and how's that customer service working out for you? Why don't you share their customer service information so we can all verify if what you say is true, instead of a constant bash on Clear Choice!
  11. on a related note, there was discussion here and elsewhere about turning left onto the libramiento from the eastbound lanes. Several people noted that while there was still a left turn arrow, the sign saying left turn only on arrow was gone, so maybe one could turn left after the arrow if there was no oncoming traffic. I did this last Sunday morning and got a ticket for failure to obey the turn signal, FYI.
  12. Yesterday
  13. Looking for housemate to share large house with 78-year-old guy for $5,000 MXN per month. West Ajijic. Now furnished. https://www.accesslakechapala.com/property/casa-los-mangos/
  14. By doingwhat you suggest you would be driving in the wrong direction on the frontage street which is a traffic violation.
  15. IMHO, the above post has a lot of poor and confusing information in it. Our system was supplied and installed by STI Solar Technology using 1/2 inch TuboPlus green pipe, it is a thermally fused copolymer pipe, made in Mexico by RotoPlas under license from the original German inventors, and is made with double walled construction, it is also UV proof, rated to 190 F, pretty much indestructible. Have no idea why it is not used in US & C, as it is great stuff. 1/2 inch is better for most homes because the volume in a 3/4 inch pipe of any distance means a much longer wait time for first hot water, unless you are using an on-demand down below, but even then, with decent pressure, 1/2 inch is more than sufficient for almost all residential needs.
  16. The way I would go to Walmart coming down the Libramiento is make a left turn on to the Carretera. Go east and make the first right turn down. Go a short distance down and turn right. You are now heading west. Drive straight ahead up the hill and go straight and make a left turn into Walmart. However, I agree with Ferret, only people arriving from the west are allowed to shop at Walmart. Guess where I live.
  17. Yes, only people using the libramiento or arriving from the west are allowed to shop in Walmart.
  18. Go straight into Walmart from Libramiento which has been permited for a while... just be careful crossing the lateral.
  19. If you can only use new lane from Libramiento, how do you turn into Walmart ? Is there still a light to let you turn into Walmart from new lateral road? Is the old section closed? Need to go to Walmart early tomorrow coming from Libramiento.
  20. Ouch! It was bad enough turning left onto the carretera from Revolucion even before the bicycle path went in. I feel for you!
  21. Beware if you are planning on traveling west on the Carretera from Walmart. I just came home from Walmart. All traffic coming down the Libramiento and turning west onto the Carretera can only use the new lane. Traffic making the right turn must go on the lateral. There were a lot of police and cars at that point. I saw a bus going with the crowd down the lateral. Traffic on the Carretera was the usual stop and go. Mostly stopped. The next big problem was the light at Upper Floresta. Traffic was piling up there. There were two policemen there making sure that both lanes went according to the lights. The traffic in the lateral has until they get to the gas station to get into the Carretera. I live in Upper Ajijic and I would normally turn up Revolucion. Not today. People who come down Revolucion are in for a surprise when they get to the Carretera, especially if they want to turn left. Time will tell how this works out.
  22. The helicopter has been dumping water on several fires very high up for around an hour. The wind seems to be hampering putting the fires out as when they drop the water, the wind is blowing it away from the fire. Hopefully, the wind will die down shortly and the pilots will adjust to this obstacle. There are still many fires to be put out. Last night was a little more calm around our house, though, as the fires seem to be under control a little lower than they were the night before. Now if someone would just turn off the wind machine!

  24. Damn. Now it's running through my head too. All time classic rock. Updates on the fires?
  25. According to the Informador this morning there about 120 bush/forest fires active in Mexico. Seems kind of early for this.....(On a side note, I have the Deep Purples song constantly playing in my head. "Smoke on the water, a fire in the sky" 😊).
  26. Our gang has given up after alot of send backs and some soso food and bad attitude wait persons,...
