Cabo San Lucas Real Estate: Prices, Best Areas & How to Buy in 2026

If you've narrowed your search to Cabo San Lucas real estate, you're looking at one of the most established and liquid markets on the Baja California peninsula. This guide breaks down current price ranges, the best areas to buy, and exactly how the purchase process works for foreign buyers.

Cabo San Lucas Real Estate Market Snapshot

Cabo San Lucas condos generally range from the low $200,000s for smaller inland units to well over $2 million for beachfront residences in prime developments. Single-family homes and villas in gated communities vary widely depending on ocean views, lot size, and proximity to the marina. Pricing has trended upward consistently over the past several years, driven by strong demand from US and Canadian buyers and limited beachfront inventory.

Best Neighborhoods in Cabo San Lucas

Pedregal

A gated hillside community with panoramic ocean and marina views, private security, and some of the most exclusive properties in Cabo San Lucas.

Medano Beach / Beach District

Walkable to Cabo's only swimmable beach, restaurants, and nightlife. Popular for condos with strong short-term rental income potential.

Cabo Bello

A quieter residential area with a mix of condos and townhomes, close to the marina and Puerto Paraiso, at a relatively more accessible price point.

Tourist Corridor (toward San José)

Golf-course communities and resort-branded residences with larger lots and long-term appreciation potential.

How Foreign Buyers Purchase Property in Cabo San Lucas

US, Canadian, and other foreign buyers purchase property through a fideicomiso (bank trust) for residential property within the restricted coastal zone. The trust is renewable in 50-year terms, fully transferable, and can be inherited by named beneficiaries. Your realtor and a licensed notary public handle the paperwork, due diligence, and registration.

What to Budget Beyond the Purchase Price

Plan for closing costs of roughly 5–7% of the purchase price (acquisition tax, notary fees, trust setup), plus ongoing annual trust fees, property tax (predial — typically low compared to the US and Canada), and HOA dues in condo developments.

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.

If you own something here, ask us what it is worth. No charge, no obligation, and the answer is yours to keep.
