All-in closing costs for a foreign buyer

For a foreign buyer in Mexico's coastal restricted zone (any land within 50 km of the coast, which covers every city we serve), all-in closing costs on a resale run about 3.6 to 7.7 percent of the purchase price. The percentage is lower on higher-value properties because several fees are fixed.

The main line items: the municipal transfer tax (ISAI) of 2 to 3 percent depending on the municipality; a one-time federal SRE permit of about USD 1,100; and the fideicomiso bank-trust setup of about USD 2,400 to USD 3,000, plus annual trustee upkeep of about USD 700 to USD 850. Predial (the annual property tax) is billed separately and is usually modest.

Leaving Florida: the snowbird math in Canadian dollars

For the Quebec snowbird working through the deuil de la Floride (the goodbye to Florida), here is the math in Canadian dollars, at an assumed 1.4 CAD per USD (June 2026; rates fluctuate, so confirm the live rate).

An entry condo near USD 143,100 comes to about CAD 200,000. Our median asking price of USD 370,735 is about CAD 519,000. A Puerto Morelos home at the city median of USD 731,400 is about CAD 1,024,000.

Carrying costs stay low: annual bank-trust upkeep runs about USD 700 to USD 850, and predial (property tax) is usually a fraction of what you pay in Canada or Florida. You remain the full beneficiary of the trust; you sign with an independent notario of your own choosing, and no deposit moves before that notario gives the green light.

Methodology and data source

Figures computed from Mayan Wealth Homes' own published, non-private inventory (June 2026). Sale-price statistics cover the 7 active for-sale listings; the single long-term rental is excluded. The sargassum distribution counts our 12 covered neighborhoods by their published monthly rating. The closing-cost band is computed from the verified closing-cost configuration for a foreign buyer in the restricted zone. CAD figures use a clearly-labeled assumed exchange rate. This is a curated luxury and lifestyle sample, not a comprehensive MLS index; small and growing. We publish no traffic-derived or lead-derived demand signal: at this pre-launch stage the sample is dominated by our own testing, so such a figure would be misleading.
