If you're researching Los Cabos real estate for the first time, you've probably noticed how much the market has grown. Los Cabos — the twin destination of Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, at the southern tip of Mexico's Baja California peninsula — has become one of the top choices for US, Canadian, and Mexican buyers looking for a second home, a retirement property, or a vacation rental investment. This guide covers everything you need to know before you buy.
Los Cabos offers year-round sunshine, direct flights from most major US and Canadian cities, world-class marinas and golf courses, and a real estate market that has consistently appreciated over the last decade. Unlike many resort destinations, Los Cabos combines strong rental demand with a stable, well-established legal framework for foreign ownership.
The most iconic and walkable area, known for its marina, nightlife, and beachfront condos. Popular with buyers who want a lock-and-leave property with strong short-term rental demand.
A quieter, more traditional town with a historic center, art galleries, and family-friendly neighborhoods. Increasingly popular with buyers looking for a primary or long-term residence.
The stretch between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, home to most of the area's luxury resorts, golf communities, and beachfront villas.
A quieter, more remote area attracting buyers looking for larger land parcels and a slower pace of life, with growing infrastructure and long-term appreciation potential.
Yes. Foreigners can legally own property in Los Cabos through a fideicomiso (a Mexican bank trust) or, for certain property types, through a Mexican corporation. This structure is well established, bank-regulated, and has protected foreign buyers for decades. A local real estate advisor and a qualified notary public will guide you through every step.
Prices vary widely by area and property type — from condos in the low hundreds of thousands of dollars to multimillion-dollar beachfront villas. Beyond the purchase price, buyers should budget for closing costs (typically 5–7% of the purchase price), annual trust fees, property tax (predial), and HOA fees where applicable.
Buying property in another country is easier — and safer — with a trusted local team. At Tu Casa Cabo, we help US, Canadian, and Mexican buyers find the right property, understand the legal process, and negotiate with confidence, from your first inquiry through closing and beyond.

The team owners in Los Cabos call first.
Tu Casa Cabo is a bilingual real estate brokerage working in Los Cabos since 2014, with owners across San José del Cabo, the Corridor and Cabo San Lucas. Most of the people who list with us are Americans and Canadians who bought a second or third home here and now want to know three things: what it is worth today, what the sale will actually cost them, and who is going to get it sold.
Yolanda Ramos and Alex Sepúlveda lead the team. Your property goes into the official database that every agent in Los Cabos works from, onto our own websites and our YouTube channel, and in front of the buyers we are already working with this season. The paperwork, the notary and the taxes are handled by people who do this every week, not once a year.
