Luxury Real Estate in Cabo San Lucas Mexico is Booming Big Time

Luxury real estate in Cabo San Lucas is growing rapidly and it is indeed one of the hottest luxury real estate markets in this region for sure currently.

Cabo San Lucas is a resort city on the southern part of Mexico’s Baja California peninsula, and Cabo is famous the world over for its amazing beaches. Luxury homes in Cabo San Lucas have always been coveted by luxury investors from across the world.

The past years have seen a lot of luxury real estate development in Cabo and the target buyers have been mainly from California and Texas. These luxury home buyers invest in the luxury real estate in Cabo mainly as their luxury vacation homes. The ongoing pandemic has seen a crazy level of activity in terms of these investors lapping all possible luxury homes for sale in Cabo San Lucas.

Saddia Rahaman, a real estate adviser with Engel & Volkers, who resides in Los Cabos, said that the company has seen $213.7 million in accepted offers so far in 2021, the second-best year in its history. In March of this year alone, Engel & Volkers had 1.22 sales per day, with the average price being $1.41 million.

“The market keeps getting stronger and stronger, and bidding wars are common,” says Rahaman. “Although there are many luxury real estate communities in Cabo, there isn’t as much inventory as you would think because we have had so much demand.”

Sales in specific communities also point to the growth: Villas Del Mar, the most upscale part of the master planned development of Palmilla, is on track to exceed $200 million in sales in 2021, more than a 100% increase from last year, according to director of sales Michael Baldwin.
