Recent data from the Mexican Association of Real Estate Professionals (AMPI) shows that foreign purchases climbed 37% between 2022 and 2024 on Mexicos Pacific coast . Furthermore, Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI) reports a rise in long-term foreign residents from 1.2 million in 2021 to 1.6 million in 2024, reportedly drawn by lower costs, a slower pace of life, and a renewed sense of balance.

This demographic shift is increasingly visible in coastal markets like Puerto Escondido where digital nomads, retirees, and remote investors are reshaping local demand. With U.S. political uncertainty rising and a weaker peso making construction more affordable for dollar-based buyers, the trend shows no signs of slowing.

Domestic tourism in Puerto Escondido has surged 20% year-over-year for the past four years (Secretaría de Turismo, Oaxaca), while international arrivals have held steady. With new U.S. routes coming online, we expect a significant uptick in overseas visitors, further tightening an already constrained market.

Analysis of local property‐listing data reveals that higher‐value Puerto Escondido listings sell faster than lower‐priced homes: evidence of a luxury inventory shortage. Combined with rising demand from affluent U.S. tourists, this dynamic promises attractive returns for high-end developments.
