ROSARITO BEACH, Mexico -- Almost every developer of oceanfront or ocean view property along the Gold Coast from Tijuana to Ensenada will be at the Investing In Baja's Oceanfront exposition May 19, 20 and 21 at the Rosarito Beach Hotel.

"More than 90 percent of the developers will be there," said Hugo Torres, an organizer of the exposition whose sponsors include the Baja state Secretary of Tourism and the city of Rosarito.

Exhibitors rented all 40 booths available for the exposition within days of their becoming available.

As well as developers, Stewart Title and finance companies will attend, three free seminars will be held each of the first two days and two on the third to provide potential buyers with all the information they need about investing in Baja real estate.

Hours of the exposition are 9 to 6 Friday and Saturday and 9 to 5 Sunday. Several hotels are offering discounts to those attending. Further information is available on www.bajasoceanfront.com .

The exposition is part of a series of three this year, along with a panel discussion. It follows the premier Investing in Baja's Oceanfront event last October at which $35 million (U.S.) in property was sold.As much as $200 million in sales are projected this year.

On July 13 a panel discussion will be held at the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce; other expositions are July 15 and 16 in Southern California, concluding with a major exposition Oct. 6, 7 and 8 at the Rosarito Beach Hotel.

The series is tied to the boom in which thousands of Americans are buying homes and property along Baja's western Gold Coast from Tijuana to Ensenada at a fraction of U.S. home prices. Thousands of units are under construction. Values are appreciating at 30 percent per year.

With the rapid increase in U.S. home prices, many are buying oceanfront properties in Baja using their equity there. Buyers are investors, people looking for vacation homes and an increasing number of people who commute to work in the U.S.
