Choosing the Right Neighborhood
At Nancy Bouchard México Real Estate, we’ve created this home buying guide for Los Cabos to help you make confident, informed choices every step of the way.
From understanding local regulations to discovering the best neighborhoods, this guide will walk you through the essentials of buying a home in Cabo San Lucas, designed especially for Canadian and U.S. buyers ready to start their next chapter in Baja California Sur.
Why Buy Property in Cabo San Lucas?
Cabo San Lucas is one of the most desirable destinations in Mexico for international buyers and is known for its safety. With over 300 days of sunshine, world-class beaches, golf courses, and a welcoming expat community, it offers the perfect balance of luxury and laid-back living.
Whether you’re seeking a vacation home, an investment property, or a full-time residence, Cabo offers safety, strong appreciation potential, high rental demand, and a lifestyle that’s second to none.
Los Cabos Home Buying Process
Understanding the Buying Process in Mexico
Buying property in Cabo is different from buying in the U.S. or Canada, but with the right guidance, it’s a smooth and secure process. As a foreigner, you’ll likely purchase through a fideicomiso, a Mexican bank trust that allows you to hold full ownership rights in the restricted coastal zone. This structure protects your investment and makes the process completely legal for non-Mexican citizens.
Nancy will help you navigate every step: from choosing the right property and making an offer to working with trusted attorneys, escrow agents, and notaries to ensure a safe and transparent closing.
Choosing the Right Neighborhood
Los Cabos isn’t one single area, it’s a diverse region that includes Cabo San Lucas, San José del Cabo, La Paz, Todos Santos, and the East Cape. Each community has its own rhythm, scenery, and charm.
Nancy Bouchard serves clients across Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo, including luxury and golf communities such as:
- Palmilla
- Querencia
- Pedregal
- Quivira
- Diamante
- Cabo Del Sol
- Chileno Bay
Nancy Bouchard specializes in:
- High-end gated communities in Cabo
- Beachfront properties and luxury estates
- Investment properties with tailored strategies
- Relocation and guidance for expats
Budget and Financing
In Mexico, most real estate transactions are completed in cash and in U.S. dollars. While traditional mortgages are uncommon, financing Mexico property is still possible through private lenders and cross-border programs available to qualified buyers.
It’s important to budget not just for the purchase price, but also for closing costs, property taxes, maintenance, and potential HOA fees. With the right planning, you’ll enjoy a stress-free purchase and a solid long-term investment.
