Mexico

Mexico is Latin America's second-largest economy and one of the world's most-visited countries, with deep, mature coastal tourism that underpins its resort real-estate markets. Foreigners can own property nationwide: outside the restricted zone (land within 50 km of the coast or 100 km of an international border) they hold direct title in their own name, while inside it, which covers virtually all beachfront, they buy through a bank trust (fideicomiso) authorized under the Foreign Investment Law and Article 27 of the Constitution. The fideicomiso is a routine, secure structure in which a Mexican bank holds title for the foreign beneficiary, who keeps full rights to use, rent, sell and inherit; the trust runs 50 years and is renewable indefinitely.

A record ~47.8 million international tourists arrived in 2025, feeding established short-term-rental markets from the Caribbean Riviera Maya to the Pacific resorts of Los Cabos and Puerto Vallarta. Prices are commonly quoted in US dollars across resort zones even though the local currency is the Mexican peso, and proximity to the large US and Canadian buyer pools, plus new infrastructure such as the Tren Maya and Tulum's airport, continues to widen the market.
