Inflation is out of control in the US and more and more Americans are looking to move abroad to help their income or their retirement savings stretch further.
Mexico home tours are some of my most requested videos on this channel, so today I wanted to show you a couple of homes for sale in the historic Mexican city of Queretaro.

If you're interested in either of these homes you can email househunting.qro@gmail.com. If you would like more info about the first one, mention "casa monarca" or if you prefer the 2nd, mention "casa amarilla".
The realtor asked me to let you know that the owners of "Casa Monarca" (the first home) are offering a 50,000 peso discount for the month of October.
I let you an intersing report by InterNations with an analysis of the places prefered by US expats around the world cms-internationsgmbh.netdna-ssl.com/cdn/file/cms-media/public/2022-07/Expat-Insider-2022-Survey.pdf
Hello Jordan
Do you know anyone in the Phoenix are who help with getting Mexican residency?
Any info is greatly appreciated, thank you 👍🏼
I enjoyed the real estate tours, Jordan. Always nice to see what is available in each section of the city and the prices.
Show homes in the $100K USD. That would be affordable to most people that would like to move there.
I agree!
Agreed!
Not sure those exist anymore lol
@@samuelmehzenta390 They do exist. I have seen them on other channels and they were very nice homes. Along the coastal regions, a little more expensive.
@@samuelmehzenta390 they probably in like Guerrero or Chiapas
Nice to see you again, thank you for your vlog, Jordon.
The home is beautiful and I also like her style. I like the neighborhood.
The neighborhood of Jurica was actually first settled by American people who worked for TREMEC, a company that made car transmissions in Querétaro. You can still find some old American style houses that date from the 70s.
That makes sense now because they all do look like American homes I want to see where average Mexicans live and I'm sure it's not like this. I love the videos they're very interesting.
@@ritahubschen6426 lol no it's in the ghetto bro this is like a rich Mexican area
Vivo en Qrp desde hace 7 años, y me gusta ver tus videos por las recomendaciones, lugares para comer, conosco estas colonias ademas de practicar mi escucha en ingles.
gracias!
Hi Jordan, those were both beautiful homes with phenomenal prices as compared to what we have here in USA. Thanks for the video. I really enjoyed it. I hope to visit Mexico someday!
Jordan!! You are great storyteller!!! Great job!!!!
Hi from Puerto Morelos! My husband and I have been following your for the past 2 years and finally made our move here a couple months ago. Thank you for all your video shares and helpful tips and info!
The outdoor shaded structure near the pond is called a Palapa 😊
#1 very nice SIZE, with a cozy factor. Area has nice varieties of terrain! #2 is totally me! I almost DIDN’T watch this, due to the kinda click bait title, but you do so nicely with it. You’re good at ad libbing, and I admire that about you. Thanks. This represents Querétaro well!
Holy cow, the first one is like my dream house. It has somewhat similar interior design like the ones here in Canada
How about healthcare….. getting cancer screenings ie mammos, colonoscopies, ultrasounds… How much would these svs cost and how far would one travel from the town. Annual labs. Getting script sunglasses.
Those would be substantially cheaper than in the US. Same for prescription eyeglasses. Hospitals are nearby.
You should consider getting your real estate license
I loved the video. Good to see what $250K+ gets you in Queretaro. Can you do a vid a vid showing what’s available in the $100K or less budgets?
tho perhaps overly personal, it would be interesting if you laid out your expenses, income, etc
Home number one for the win!
Thank you for sharing, is really nice to see it from your perspective, that you live in USA and Mexico .
Very nice video 👍 I can totally see you and May living there 💖💕
Amazing beautiful homes!
I think I like the first one more.
The home is beautiful and I also like her style.
Amazing 👏
Jordan you certainly have a career showing homes. Hopefully you are getting compensated. Thanks for sharing.
Show rentals as well. Please
Hi Jordan...great idea. Ive watched a few of yur house tours, love to see whats out there. We did a vlog on affordable housing in our area(in Thailand). The houses here are much smaller, small lots, some neighbors too.close but with modern amenities and super low rents. Plus less red tape to rent out. Keep on trucking.
The second is a beautiful home but far too big for my needs and too formal for my taste, of course, you could change out the furniture but at great cost.
Wow congrats
Hi I am in prosser Washington I see you all the time
Hi my question is it close el centro of Queretaro it’s beatiful down there I was there in June and I loved it .
Jurica is quite far from downtown Querétaro. It's out of the city. It's a suburb.
Are there any chupacabra lurking in the woods?
Prices almost like in the USA. I don't see Mexico cheaper from USA or I am missing something here?
It is gorg but out of my budget. I wonder if you can put
What does homeowners insurance cost?
Mexico 🇲🇽 will become the new 🇺🇸
Beautiful home
So Jordan is now in the real estate business? And as you don't have to be licensed in Mexico, probably so. In which case please put the numbers at the front of the different properties.
How much are the property taxes for these homes?
The first one is a little over $300 us per year. I don’t know the number for the 2nd
“Owner tells me he burns 4000cal per day” walking trails. #impossible. #misspoke 😅
CAN YOU pls make a video about Autlan de Navarro !!! Plsssssss I want to live there but never been thank you ❤ been following you for 3 years
4000 calories a day jejeje jejeje not unless he is Lance Armstrong
4000 isn't that crazy. The average person burns 2000 a day and that's just sitting around
@@IntensePeppers it is crazy. I work with athletes everyday. High level testing, Vo2max, control eating studies...... Average person 1 hour hike 400 calories depending on heart rate, past experience, health,..... We offer $200k to anyone that can burn 4000 calories on a one hour hike around a relatively flat area.
No way I’m spending 250,000 on a house show stuff under 100,000 I built my 500sq ft house for 30,000 I did most work myself
Wow that #2 home is special and I COULD PAY CASH! When can I move in?
Why don’t you explore the areas of Zákia and Zibatá in Querétaro? There are also good options in this side of the city. I live and work in the mentioned areas btw.
You talked about maids quarters in both houses. Is it common to have a maid or a live in maid?
Yes, I’d say a majority of the Mexican families that live in these neighborhoods have a live-in maid
Only upper class people in Mexico have live-in maids. They're too costly for the middle class. A few decades ago, the middle class could afford them.
I'm guessing mostly Americans that live there have maids. I just don't think a lot of Mexicans use maids they have so many family members that probably take turns maintaining their homes, that's what I see here in America.
@@ritahubschen6426 lots of mexicans have maids!
@@ritahubschen6426 The Mexican population the USA is accustomed to seeing tends to be the economic migrant kind. I would know since that is my family background. The same could be said of most immigrant communities from any part of the world. However, Mexico, like all other countries in the world, has different social economic classes. The working class/Middle class and the Wealthy. There are wealthy Mexicans who have maids and do not have particularly large families. Not at all Americans are the same and the same can be said of Mexicans. There are white Americans from Appalachia, white Americans from Missouri, white Americans from California, white Americans from NYC and all from varying classes and economic means. Please do not generalize and over simplify.
I like the 1st house way better. The 2nd one is to outdated and I thought the same that it looks like a granny house
Could you show houses at 100-150k
Agree - would like to see some lower end homes that an average person (like me - lol) could afford.
those houses he showed used to be that price range but the gringos who voted Democrat and are now fleeing Californica are buying properties overpriced and now prices are way higher
@@Mario-re2qp Yeah - I understand it is causing big hardship for people who are native there. Same thing here iin Arizona when all the Californians flood in - everyone getting priced out because of it. They shoudln't have voted in such draconian governor that made them want to leave.
🤣🤣🤣 247K. Come to the OC in Cali. You cant even get a wink for that.
I know right I live in the outskirts of Los Angeles CA you couldn't even buy a garage for $200K. I live in a two-room little bungalow I love it but it's freaking over 1000mo+utilities. simple two bedroom apartments run between 2,600 4,000 k a month. that's why most people are leaving California 🤨
How much US $$$$
Oh look modern Christopher Columbus lol
did not like any of them most important is how it wss built the electric wiring and water ...most time is just simple cold water 1 main fuse windows are like from a camper no ground water barrier small cement bricks hot in summer cold 2 or 3 months
👀
How about a tour of City Market?
They don’t allow filming
Hey Jordan, I see both you and Mandy are hocking Mexican real estate. I liked your travel videos better. Still, best of fortunes to you, as you come across as a very honest person and a nice guy.
Jordan, who owns these homes? Are they Americans? Mexican?
First house had English on the walls, so probably norteamericanos.
Can you do a show on Hiring and firing maids and what you could be liable for ?? thanks Sandra
Why are they seling
Some people inherit those homes and they can't afford the property tax. Or utilities. It's an expensive neighborhood that's not very fashionable anymore.
What's the price of the first house?
247K
These are not average homes they're more like mansions. we have these homes in Beverly hills and scattered all around California. California but they're considered Mansions so I'm a little confused why you call them homes? I considered them to be villas or mansions. the utilities are super cheap you don't want to know what we pay here now in the States 😳
These are not mansions for Mexicans at all. Mansions are buildings, these are just big houses
They're not mansions. Those are homes for the upper middle class. You can find mansions in much more upscale neighborhoods for the mega upperclass, especially in certain areas of Mexico City like in Lomas Alta, Lomas de Chapultepec, Santa Fe, Jardines de Predegal... in those neighborhoods you can find mansions with armed security guards, so getting access to those homes can be tricky unless you are hired as a realtor. You can also find some mansions in San Pedro Garza Garcia in the state of Nuevo Loen, which is considered the wealthiest city in all LATAM. My wife works in real estate in Mexico and one time we had to go to one of those crazy rich neighborhoods that I felt so out of place haha but it was a weird feeling seeing all these armed security guards. We were visiting another realtor who had her office in the same building where she lived.
@@MonterreyLiving so obviously the normal class Mexicans never even get to see these Mansions they're all out of their league. How scary to have armed guards on standby where you live ,wouldn't that make you feel weird? That just tells me that the crime is pretty high that you need armed guards.
What happened to the old tittle? Has California hate suddenly become passe?
I'm constantly testing new titles and thumbnails. In this case I found a title that I liked more and performed equally well.
But is there a soup kitchen nearby? Fight food price inflation by visiting the soup kitchen every day. There is never inflation at the soup kitchen. It's always free. The only downside is that you have to be tough. Fights, stabbings, threats and foul language are the norm at soup kitchens. Put on your prison persona and you'll be fine.
Are you aware that Maddiegold is showing under Tangerine Travels? Maybe you are on vacation? Anyway, it is strange from the viewers point of view. If this is okay, a heads up would have been in order.
What happened to your right nostril😟
WATCH NEXT: A tour of my home in Mexico - th-cam.com/video/lrZehlx8KTc/w-d-xo.html
Lots of really nice houses in Mexico, but 95% of the lots are dinky! 2000 - 4000sq.ft. is typical. Such a huge country, yet houses have lots far, Far smaller than in the USA. 😒🤷
3,000 to 4,000 sq. foot lots seem pretty typical for suburban areas on the west coast. Residential zoned land is around $10 m an acre so larger lots are cost prohibitive.
@@brianglas7768 Where is this that you are quoting these numbers?
@@KOrnhOliO1Jurica neighborhood in Querétaro has big lots.
Is it pretty humid in queretaro?
In the summer it does get quite humid, about 75 to 80 percent humidity, mostly at night.
I like you guys but Don t say cheap it is insulting for Mexican, it is like Monaco shiting one good old usa lol ,continue your good work
Love it , thank you for showing this videos . My husband and I want to retire in Mexico , and so far we liked queretano the most !! 😊
To be considered part of the top 1% in Mexico you would need to make 38k pesos per month. It seems you would have to be in the top .1% to afford this comfortably.
Seriously? That's only about $1,900 usd, or minimum wage in most US states.
@@Jeffhowardmeade yes, and my cousin is a loan officer in Mexico and she says that you need to make 15k pesos per month in order to qualify for a 500k mortgage. 😬
I’ve seen that stat you’re referring to and that was the top 1% of wage earners. So anyone who doesn’t work for a wage is excluded which doesn’t include any business owners, most doctors, dentists, etc. Since most people in Mexico who make a good living aren’t employees, only including employees skews the stats
@@Jeffhowardmeade Minimum wage in Mexico is about 8 dollars A DAY
The material cost is essentially the same or more than the U.S because of mark ups, however where you will see a cost change will be in anything where you pay labor like mechanics, gardeners, house maids etc.
So, my plan has always been to retire and rent. The houses are beautiful but not in my price range. Is is possible to perhaps vary your vids to different viewers? Or maybe your channel demographics have changed since I first joined several years ago.
So are you going to do any Actual travelling anymore? Just wondering. o.O
Great video Jordan! Nice to see what you get for a price in Mexico.
That house was a really nice, comfortable house. Queretaro looks like a nice city as well. Is there any issue with flooding?
There's actually a lot of flooding during the summer. It's a perennial problem for the city. It happens everywhere, downtown, the suburbs, fancy neighborhoods, everywhere.
@@Mario_N64 Thanks for that! That's so unfortunate. Queretaro is so pretty to me. I've seen flooding in so many other areas. It scared me from considering other cities to retire to.
@@stephaniealbright8124 Querétaro was basically founded on a basin, a valley, there's a lot of flooding with heavy rainfall. If you want to avoid flooding completely, look for a home on the hills or elevated areas. There are quite a few neighborhoods with those features.
@@Mario_N64 Thank you, sir!
Fantastic job Jordan, you've come a long way.
I noticed that a lot of the stores and restaurants in the area east of Lago El Cajon have their signs in English. Are there a lot of people that speak English that live in or visit this area regularly?
Here in Monterrey (north east of Mexico) we have signa in english too.
I always try to figure out whether NOTB folks are living in homes, or Mexicans living there. Second home Mexican. Then, I always wonder why people are moving. 😀
In Querétaro, it's usually safe to assume it's Mexicans living in the home because they're the vast majority of the population here
Great video! Jordan, not that u needed to but, are you losing weight? Or is it just me? Something is different about u and I can’t pinpoint it. It’s a good change btw.
He shaves now. May at work!
Lol $70 per month HOA is ridiculous for such a small home (2nd Location). Heck I have a $1.2 mill home 8000 Sq foot, 3 garage, home in the US and my HOA doesn't cost that. Our HOA has bin collection etc, no way I am even considering that $70 per month HOA fee. Or could that be the the non Mexican residents HOA fee ? That fee just doesn't make sense to me. Just be careful and scrutinize such fees.
But do you get 100s of acres of beautifully-landscaped areas, parks, and dog parks? I bet not. I think $70/mo is a very good deal for what you get in Vista Real.
@@TangerineTravels I live surrounded by cedar forestry with walking trails, hiking, 4 wheel / off road tracks but that isn't the responsibility of the HOA. Mine covers common grass areas being cut, snow removal and salting. Surrounding grounds has nothing to do with community fees.
Danng I pay $180 HOA fee, i live in a 950 sqft condo, 2 baths, 2 restrooms, one car garage, and waterpool. And I live in the second poorest city in the U.S according to some stats.
@@MonterreyLiving what you pay $180 bucks per month or the year ? Does your HOA include parking fees ? Big difference when you add in monthly parking into the HOA fees. For that second house he would be paying $70 bucks a MONTH just for HOA - no parking.
@@TangerineTravels why does paying HOA fees for maintenance of hundreds of acres of land that is not yours got to do with HOA fees. Anyone could go walk those same trails and use those dog parks, so why you paying for the up keep.
I used to stay with my sister in MX City in US summers and always needed a sweater in mornings and evenings...........
Water bill over there in that neighborhood is sky-high!
Indeed, because most of the water used there is for watering huge lawns. And this neighborhood is not incorporated into the county, making most services quite expensive.
wow your girl is so beautiful with no makeup..she should be brave and do without ...
Thanks for showing those wonderful listings. Both are ready to move in. No need of renovations, maybe a few minor ones only in Casa Amarilla.
Random question: What editing software do you use for your thumbnail? Is it photoshop?
Question..since you do a fantastic job of presenting these homes, is this your main source of income? Or do you do this on the side. What is your main source if not this?
Reminded me of Coreano Blog, I love that you are doing this! I would just ask you to try for the houses to be empty, that way you can do what you did in this video. You might try and go for a diferent types of homes and sizes. The best of luck Jordan! I would also dress the part being you are a nice looking man. Say hi to Maya 👍💯
Buen video Jordan salúdame a Lasca. Saludos
I wonder about the history of earthquakes in the area, and if the brick/block details would fail in a strong earthquake.
Earthquakes are irrelevant in Querétaro. They have no effect on buildings.
That yellow one I would call a winner
Don't sell in dollars pls
wow
Am I really the first comment? 0:
Congrats. 👏 Quite an accomplishment.
@@James-kd1kp 😊
Queretaro is not a city I'm interested in. I think that around Mexico, excluding CDMX, most people don't think of Queretaro as a destination.
I'm not watching much as I used to for this reason:(
I recently moved from the U.S to Mexico, and Queretaro was one of my options. Actually it was: Merida, CDMX, Queretaro and Monterrey. At first I didn't know anything about Queretaro until i went to a Wedding from a friend who also lived in the states but with family in Queretaro. Long story short, we ended up choosing Monterrey as our home, but, I'd definitely would give Queretaro a try. I like the Mexican vibe of antique and modern w/out the chaos of CDMX. But you're right, Queretaro is only popular to folks from CDMX.
As I watch and listen, and have not heard the price yet, I'm guessing Jordan won't mention these things when he divulges the low prices. You will need to pay cash. These always very vertical with close neighbors. Show us a ranch home on a 1/3 rd acre. The lots looks 1/10 acre. Buying with financing means 10 o 15 yr loans, higher percent down payments (30 or 40%) and higher interest rates (15+%), in MX than in the US. So, down payments and monthly payments are not cheap. MX has no mortgage deduction for income taxes. The prices in the US would be lower too if lending was this tight with no tax benefit. Yes HOA's are cheaper, but there is an absolute need to be in a home owners association for cleanliness and security (or you won't have it, a bad thing). CA shacks can be bought with FHA 5% down financing, and 6% 30 yr loans, in places without HOA fees. It is all a give and take the market settles.
All these homes are huge that's not the idea we normally have of Mexican homes but how many Mexicans really live in these homes aren't they mainly all built by Americans for their comforts I've never seen a Mexican family live in a home that spacious. As you probably know a home that big in the States is usually in the millions unless you go to an unpopular State it's probably cheaper. I'd like to see a home that a normal Mexican family with lots of kids owns you're showing us beautiful American looking homes which I love but I'd like to see how a real Mexican family lives 🤔
These houses were built for the Mexican upper class. They're located in exclusive, affluent neighborhoods. Regular Mexicans live in much more modest, cookie cutter houses.
@@Mario_N64 well yes that's what I thought these huge houses are not for the norm, it sure seems like there's a lot of these spacious homes for sale or for rent ,way more than in the US. I went to Jalisco years ago and the normal homes there we were escorted into had dirt floors ,so it's an extreme different environment.
@@ritahubschen6426 This is what a modern middle class home in Querétaro looks like : th-cam.com/video/l9Ep1boMm_M/w-d-xo.html
It's only 25,000 USD. This is what most people who are not living in poverty can afford. A tiny home in a cookie cutter development in the outskirts of town.
