Episode notes
Bifurcated Market By Price Point
- The Cabo market splits by price point with $5M+ remaining tight while sub-$2M faces saturation and longer days on market.
- Post‑COVID condo development and Airbnb growth created excess supply below $2M, softening demand there.
Price Inflation Hurt Midrange Demand
- Cabo's lower-tier pricing felt inflated after rapid rises, reducing perceived value for $1M buyers.
- Simultaneous Airbnb saturation and new condo supply depressed rental incomes at those price points.
Buy Under $2M For Leverage
- If you're hunting in Cabo, target properties under $2M now because buyers have negotiating leverage and market times are extended.
- Expect more transition activity and plan for longer marketing and closing timelines.
