Hello everyone,

More and more people are discovering what makes Los Cabos so special — not just the beaches, golf, fishing, and luxury lifestyle, but the opportunity to own in a place people truly love coming back to.

As a real estate agent with Oceanside Real Estate, I speak with people all the time who first came to Cabo for a vacation and eventually realized they wanted something more — a second home, an investment property, or a full-time lifestyle change.

I also work with sellers who want to position their property the right way, attract qualified buyers, and maximize their sale in today’s market.

Whether you are thinking about buying your dream property in Los Cabos or considering selling and want to understand what your home could be worth, having the right local guidance makes all the difference.

If Los Cabos has been on your mind, let’s connect. I would be happy to help you explore your options and guide you in the right direction.

Cabo San Lucas continues to gain international recognition, not only for its beaches and luxury lifestyle, but also for its strong safety infrastructure and high-value tourism model.

The peso is at a two-year high. Here's what that actually means for Americans buying property in Mexico, from contract to closing and beyond.

To all those with Permanent Residency and have US plates on your car. It’s always been against the law just like it is for a Mexican citizen to drive a foreign plated car. As of 2026, the law is now being enforced and your vehicle can be impounded. You have three options, rush it back to the States, hope youre not stoppied, use the Nationalization program if your vehicle is older than 2017 and if newer, direct import which can cost as much as 30-50% of its value.

Mexico changed some rules now in effect, which can ruin your visit if you make a mistake. The following is the forbidden list:

Cash - If you are carrying more than 10,000 dollars, per person, in cash, checks, or money orders, you must declare it.

Alcohol - A maximum of 4 liters of alcohol is allowed; if you exceed the liter count, you can be taxed for all you have at 90% of the value.

Ci******es - no more than 200 of one standard US carton of ten packs of 20 ci******es in each.

Electronic Ci******es (Vapes) are now illegal. Fines are 150 dollars per device.

Food - Fresh beef, pork, chicken (raw, frozen, or cooked), and homemade sandwiches. No fruit or seeds.

Prescription Medications - must be in the original commercial bottle with your name on it, no loose containers. You must have a physical copy of the doctor's prescription for each medication. Only bring enough for the length of your trip and if you plan to stay for extended periods, plan to buy more when you arrive. If you bring a 6-month supply, they may suspect you are a trafficker. Bring in your carry-on with the paperwork.

Do the right thing and enjoy your vacation. If you want to explore a place of your own, I look forward to hearing from you.

as always,
Rick

Happy New Year. Have you noticed a new marketing term used by real estate agents this past year - Price Improvement. Sadly, non- experienced agents, encouraged by their broker to take as many listings as possible, allow the seller to decide on the list price. The broker knows after it sits unsold for awhile, the seller will lower the price more in line with the market. I'm sure this post will get negative reactions, but it's the truth. Also, if you are looking at new construction, or a resale, you are not getting g the best price by working directly with a listing agent. You are giving them twice the offered compensation and- they are not working as your sole representative as Mexico has no agency as does the US and Canada. Choose wisely.

So, what's happening in our market, I am frequently asked. While many are saying our market is in trouble, I beg to differ. What we, and those with vision, are seeing is opportunity.

Los Cabos has proven in my 21 years to be resilient to the many challenges we have gone through in these times. The US financial meltdown, the 'Spanish Flu', Covid-19, the Cartels, and other factors gave pause to buyers. In each of these times, however, those with knowledge of our area and all that it offers provided opportunities that have been very good to their bank accounts.

We are now in one of those very markets. An abundant, diverse inventory not seen in many years brings much-needed competition between Sellers and their Agents to be realistic in their pricing. Los Cabos historically shows, owning real estate here is a wise decision. Buyers are in the driving seat.
