fewer closed sales this year than last
~250

typical gap between asking and final price
The rush is over. What replaced it is a market where the buyer finally has time, choice and leverage — and where knowing which forty listings to ignore is worth more than access to all of them.
THE REAL ESTATE TOUR
In Residence
Most property tours show you floor plans. This one shows you the country you would be buying into — how it works, what it costs, who you sign with, and what a Tuesday actually feels like.
12
seats. Never more.
5
days on the ground
1
table, every night
We move through communities, not listings
Zona Romántica on foot in the morning, because walkability is either real or it is not. Versalles at lunch. The Marina and the north shore. Conchas Chinas and the hillside — including the stairs, so nobody discovers those after they own something.
We look at inventory honestly
Real listings at real prices, with the HOA numbers and the days-on-market attached. Including the ones we would tell you to walk away from, and exactly why.
We sit down with the people who matter
A notario, so the fideicomiso stops being a rumour and becomes a document you have read. Someone who handles cross-border tax. And an owner or two who did this three years ago and will tell you what they got wrong.
We eat, and we leave room
The corner stand and the room a Mexico City chef opened last year. Free mornings, on purpose — the best decisions on this trip get made on a terrace at seven, not in the back of a car.
What this is not
Not a timeshare presentation.
Nobody is pitching you a building.
Not a hard sell.
No contract at the end of the week, and no discount that expires on Friday.
Not a vacation with viewings attached.
Five days of living here, with the questions answered as they arise.
What goes home with you
A shortlist
Two or three properties that genuinely fit — not a folder of forty.
A real number
What a purchase actually costs, closing and ongoing fees included.
Two names
A notario and a cross-border accountant. The two people you cannot do this without.
An honest answer
About whether this is your place. Sometimes that answer is no, and that is a good outcome.
