Tulum has grown from a small town into one of the most talked-about markets in Mexico. After a strong pre-sale boom, prices corrected and buyers now have more choice and more negotiating power, along with more projects to check carefully.
Who it suits

What you can buy
- Condos in Aldea Zama, La Veleta and Region 15.

What to check before you buy
- Permits and private title for every property.
- Infrastructure on the specific street: roads, drainage, power, internet.
- For pre-sales: an independent lawyer, which is mandatory, and protected deposits.
