July 2026 price bands by zone
Sample of 42 listings from three AMPI-affiliated brokers, not an MLS census — read the bands as a direction rather than a market average. Marina towers carry the highest entry at $240K to $380K and the longest days on market at 80 to 120, which is the usual pattern where new supply is concentrated.
| Zone | 1BR asking USD | DOM indicative | vs July 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Centro Histórico | $165K–240K | 75–110 | plus 3% |
| Golden Zone | $185K–295K | 60–95 | plus 5% |
| Marina towers | $240K–380K | 80–120 | plus 4% |
| Cerritos north | $210K–340K | 90–130 | flat |

Yield snapshot
A 6.2% marketed gross becoming 3.9% net after a 28% management fee is the clearest single figure on this page, and the $140 to $320 monthly HOA is what accounts for most of the remaining gap. Both numbers sit inside the 5.5% to 7% gross band the wider Mexican market reports on a full-year basis.
| Metric | Golden Zone 1BR |
|---|---|
| Gross STR marketed | 6.2% |
| Net after 28% PM | 3.9% |
| HOA monthly | $140–320 |
| Summer occupancy | 48–58% |
| Winter occupancy | 75–85% |

Why buyers pause in July
Mazatlán’s calendar inverts the Caribbean’s: the northern winter is peak and the summer months are quiet, so a July visit shows the property at its least flattering and its most informative. Summer remains the best diligence window — inspect drainage, damp and neighbourhood noise before winter marketing photos blur the picture.
| Factor | Investor impact |
|---|---|
| Humidity season | Guest reviews stress A/C |
| State headlines | DD questions rise |
| Hurricane calendar Pacific | Insurance review |
| World Cup TV focus | RM not Mazatlán, flat demand |
Summer visits remain the best diligence window, inspect drainage, mold risk, and neighborhood noise before winter marketing photos blur reality.
Pacific comparison quick reference
Mazatlán’s case against its two larger Pacific neighbours is an entry-price case, and the table below shows how much of one. At $185,000 to $295,000 for comparable condominium stock it enters roughly $100,000 below Puerto Vallarta and $165,000 below Los Cabos, while producing 3.8-4.2% net against 3.5-5% and 3-4% respectively. The yields are competitive; the difference is what you give up in buyer depth, brand recognition and resale liquidity at exit. For a buyer with a long hold and a yield mandate that is a reasonable trade. For anyone needing a quick exit it is not.
| City | 1BR walkable entry | Net yield band |
|---|---|---|
| Mazatlán | $185K–295K | 3.8–4.2% |
| Puerto Vallarta | $280K–450K | 3.5–5% |
| Los Cabos | $350K–600K+ | 3–4% |
