CDMX Real Estate market report Q1 2026

May 20, 2026

The Mexico City residential market entered 2026 with continued pressure on available inventory.

Most notable trends include:

Constrained housing supply remains a defining market characteristic as new product launches continue to fall short and available inventory declined by 18% year-on-year.
Steady price appreciation continues across the metropolitan area, with average asking prices reaching MXN 53,591/m², reflecting annual growth of 8.0%.
The North corridor consolidated its position as the market's leading submarket, accounting for 39.3% of total sales activity during the first quarter.
Emerging locations continued to gain traction, with Cuauhtémoc, Zumpango, Tizayuca and Tecámac ranking among the areas with the highest number of properties sold.
Differentiated submarket performance persisted, with the Eastern and Central corridors posting some of the strongest annual growth rates, supported by improving accessibility and sustained demand.
Location remains a key purchase driver, with connectivity, access to employment centres and urban infrastructure as decisive elements across the metropolitan market.

Opportunities remain strongest in submarkets capable of combining accessibility, housing availability and long-term development potential.
