has inflation impacted the real estate market?

Yes, Los Cabos has seen a rise in construction material and labor costs. With this in mind, there is no sign or factors that show that prices will decrease anytime in the near future. Los Cabos has grown in popularity resulting in a population rise with people still wanting to build since there is a lack of inventory throughout Los Cabos. Because of this, land value has increased and replacement costs for properties are higher because you can not build the property in today’s economy for less.  In addition, another massive factor is the weakening of the US Dollar which has stabilized the market in Baja. Even though prices have increased, buyers are still entering the market to diversify their portfolio and as they invest their money into a secure cash market.

Why are people Selling right now?

Historically, there has been a consistent market trend that after people buy their first property and get even more enamored with the Cabo lifestyle they often choose to move up after gaining equity and purchase a second property within 5-7 years enhancing their lifestyle. Many of the investors we work with have benefited from a booming market and seen their portfolios increase substantially over the last 3-5 years. Many owners have decided to move up to a larger home or into a community with more amenities, or even purchase a second or third property as an investment for overflow or  ROI since the inventory in the luxury market is in high demand. 

Has there been an increase of inventory on the market? Yes, because there have been many new developer projects as an effort to meet demand. However, there is a limited amount of turn-key move in ready homes or condos with ocean views in key communities, so when properties are desirable and priced right, they sell right away sometimes within days of hitting the market.
