CDMX Property Prices Post 3.8 Percent Quarterly Gain Versus Same Period Last Year
Average values across the capital climbed to 55,000 MXN per square metre in the three months to June, outpacing the 2.9 percent rise recorded in the second quarter of 2025.
How we reported this
Mexico City residential prices rose 3.8 percent in the second quarter of 2026 compared with the same three months in 2025, pushing the citywide average to 55,000 MXN per square metre.
The increase arrives as foreign capital continues to flow into established districts while local buyers compete for fewer listings. International tensions around the Strait of Hormuz have prompted some Gulf investors to accelerate purchases in stable Latin American markets, adding pressure on inventory that already sits 12 percent below 2025 levels.
Polanco along Avenida Presidente Masaryk recorded the steepest quarterly lift at 5.1 percent year on year, with premium units trading above 92,000 MXN per square metre. Roma Norte near Parque México followed at 4.3 percent growth, where renovated 1970s apartments now list between 68,000 and 74,000 MXN per square metre.
Business District and Gentrifying Zones
Santa Fe’s corporate corridor posted a more modest 2.7 percent annual gain, yet new towers near the Centro Santa Fe mall still command 78,000 MXN per square metre for finished units. Doctores, long overlooked, saw values climb 6.2 percent from the prior year after the city’s 2025 transit-oriented development program extended the Metrobús Line 1 extension to the neighbourhood’s eastern edge.
Official registry data released on 6 July by the Instituto de la Vivienda de la Ciudad de México showed 2,840 transactions closed in the capital during April through June, up 310 deals from the second quarter of 2025. Average days on market shortened to 47 from 61 a year earlier.
Practical Steps for Buyers This Quarter
Prospective purchasers should review listings on streets such as Calle Juan de la Barrera in Condesa and Lomas de Chapultepec’s Paseo de la Reforma extension before September, when several new inventory releases are scheduled. Checking the latest INVI price index and consulting a local notary for 2026 property tax adjustments will help lock in current rates before any further quarterly movement.
