U.S. Investors Unlocking Value in Mexico’s Luxury Real Estate Market
As U.S. investors look for safe harbor in an uncertain market, Mexico’s luxury real estate market is proving to hold great value for Americans and other foreigners.
We recently conducted an in-depth short term rental analysis for three desirable locations in Quintana Roo and found that the weighted average of estimated monthly rental revenue in Playa del Carmen, Cancún, and Tulum is $4,040 , $5,889 , and $4,533 respectively (USD). So it’s no wonder Americans (and Canadians) are considering Mexican luxury real estate as a sound investment.
As foreign investment continues to pour in and more Americans flock to Mexico: $1,000,000 goes a lot further in Mexico’s luxury real estate market, than it might otherwise here at home.
All prices are in USD unless otherwise noted.

In recent years, foreigners have invested some $30 Billion in Mexico each year according to the Banco de Mexico. Real estate composes a healthy slice of that investment and is continuing to grown as we see more Americans and Canadians moving and investing in Mexico.

Americans are permanently moving to Mexico at a record pace, with data from the Mexican government showing a sharp increase in Temporary Resident Cards (TRT) issued to Americans in recent years. 2022 was a record-setting year eclipsing even the migration numbers that spiked around the Great Recession of 2008. If this trend continues, in 2023, over 12,000 Americans will permanently move to Mexico, setting another record since Mexico began tracking this data uniformly.
