Fewer sales, more listings, no measured change in price. And what our own Q2 edition got wrong.
Closed-sale data exists after all: a median closed price of $480,000 and a median 178 days to sell in the first half of 2026, on brokerage readings of the local MLS. Closings through August ran 12.5 per cent behind 2025 into 814 listings. This edition also corrects the Q2 edition in public, after an audit found errors in its acquisition-tax arithmetic, its rental model and its claim that no closed-sale median had been published.
- Median closed sale price $480,000 and median time to sell 178 days, across 181 sales in the first half of 2026
- Closings through August 12.5% behind 2025, with 814 homes listed and 30 months of inventory
- Four commissioned brokerages publish readings of the local MLS; no public registry stands behind any of them
- The Q2 edition is corrected in public: the acquisition tax, the closing-cost floor, the rental model and more
Corrected since publication
- Said, when first published on 5 October 2026, that three commissioned brokerages publish readings of the local MLS. There are four. Live In San Miguel also publishes a year-to-date report on the AMPI MLS: 339 closings from 7 January to 30 September 2026 and a median of $385,000 across all closings with a recorded price, against the $480,000 median of houses and condominiums to 24 June that this edition leads with. The two are on different bases and neither replaces the other. The edition was revised to add the fourth source, and to bring one quoted cost up to date: Live In San Miguel’s page gives the foreign-buyer permit at about MXN 8,500 per person, where the edition had 7,500 from a reading in July. Nothing else in it changed. Found and corrected 8 October 2026.
The PDF was revised on 8 October 2026 to carry this correction, and says so in its opening pages. The first printing is kept on file.
