Despite the increase in the price of houses in Yucatán, which places it in the top ten of the most expensive in the country, the president of the National Institute of Real Estate Professional Advisors of Mexico (Inapim), Juan Ignacio Alzaga Rodríguez, assured that the entity It is attractive to invest, both for living and for the rental business.
He said that this increase in costs is affecting the sector, however, he clarified that it cannot be stopped because the real estate sector serves between 40 and 50 percent of the people who buy today in Yucatán, mainly foreigners to whom “it is very cheap buy a home at these prices, although unfortunately for the people of the area it is a bit high.”

He said that there is an average of 50,000 people each year who immigrate to Yucatan, but that number may be higher because of those who are buying in the State for investment.

He stated that the Northern zone, now known as the diamond zone, is focused on foreign people, while the Central and Eastern zones are covering the needs of the average Yucatecan.
“We know in advance that there are developers who are focusing their products on local people, such as in areas of Opichén, Tixcacal, Caucel and suburban areas of Mérida, but the Oriente is stopped,” because the Yucatecan is afraid to go out and live after the peripheral.
