| SONORA, A LICENSED STATE!! | | | | | | |
| | | | | |
| | | | | Sonora has become the first state in Mexico to enact a licensing requirement for real estate agents, which may include criminal-background checks in select U.S. states, including Arizona. The state ranks third out of 31 states and Mexico City for foreign investment. | | | | | | | Investing in Mexico is safe, officials insisted, but while safeguards are in place, it's up to buyers to exercise common sense. Last year, more than $550 million in foreign investment
was poured into Sonora. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | –Sonoran officials expect tourism to increase 10% by 2009 to 9.6 million people - 70% from Arizona.
| | | | | | | –Today, Sonora has around 5,000 housing units built or under construction primarily for sale to foreign investors. | | | | | | | –Officials expect to grow to 40,000 residential units in the next 20 years. | | | | | | | –55% of the state's new construction is in Puerto Peñasco.
