The relationships around housing and retirement migration, particularly within historic, colonial cities in Latin America, are complex. A differential in the cost of housing between the origin and destination country is clearly one of many motivating factors in international retirement migration (Bernier 2003); however, how this migration impacts housing prices and availability on the local level has not been extensively studied in the retirement migration literature, although it is a commonly referenced concern.
