2025 Los Cabos Condominium Market Report
Inventory Expansion, Pricing Resilience & Liquidity Segmentation
Central Thesis
The 2025 Los Cabos condominium market was defined by normalization rather than contraction.
Transaction velocity moderated from acceleration-era peaks, inventory expanded across several submarkets, and buyer selectivity increased.
However, pricing distress did not materialize.
Instead, the condo sector segmented sharply between prime, amenity-driven product and commodity inventory competing on value.
The cycle has shifted from momentum to micro-location precision.
Executive Overview
During 2025, the Los Cabos real estate market recorded approximately $1.5–$1.6B USD in total residential volume, with condominiums accounting for an estimated 25–30% of overall transaction activity.
Condo inventory expanded materially across 2025, particularly in:
El Tezal
Downtown Cabo San Lucas
Select San José del Cabo zones
Pre-construction and newly delivered developments
Days on market extended in secondary tiers, often exceeding 150–200 days in non-prime segments.
Sale-to-list ratios moderated into the low-to-mid 90% range, reflecting growing buyer leverage.
Despite this, premium beachfront and resort-adjacent product retained pricing strength.
The shift was compositional, not structural.

Inventory Absorption
Across Los Cabos, 2025 was defined by:
Elevated condo inventory levels
Reduced urgency among buyers
Increased comparison shopping
Greater emphasis on finish quality and HOA structure
Two-bedroom product dominated supply increases.
Three-bedroom and larger premium units experienced relatively stronger absorption.
Capital slowed — it did not exit.
Capital Perspective
The prior cycle rewarded speed and early reservation deposits.
The current cycle rewards:
• Micro-location precision
• View protection
• Amenity strength
• HOA financial transparency
• Developer credibility
• Replacement-cost logic
Los Cabos condominiums remain structurally supported by lifestyle demand and international buyer interest.
But structural support does not eliminate segmentation.
In 2026, capital discipline will outperform speculation.
Pricing Resilience
The absence of widespread distress reflects structural characteristics unique to Los Cabos:
High proportion of discretionary sellers
Strong cash-buyer participation
International lifestyle migration
Limited true beachfront supply
Pricing adjustments occurred primarily through extended time-on-market rather than sharp downward repricing.
Premium, view-protected inventory retained pricing power.
Commodity inventory competed on value.
Forward Outlook
The most probable 2026 trajectory for the condo sector includes:
• Continued normalization
• Gradual absorption of 2025 inventory build
• Stabilization of prime-tier pricing
• Widening performance gap between high-quality and generic product
A severe contraction would require significant macroeconomic disruption or sustained oversupply in specific micro-markets.
Acceleration-era urgency is unlikely to return in the near term.
This is a disciplined market.
