Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal index of homes appraised for mortgages (new and resale, all price segments), as reported by IIEG. It tracks the direction of local home prices, not the foreign-buyer condo market or the listing prices above. SHF does not publish this municipio separately, so this is the Quintana Roo state figure.
New Developments — Presale Entry Prices
3 projects listed by developers and agencies. Prices are each project's “starting at” price for its cheapest unit, so they are not comparable with the price medians above.
