Pricing Analysis

Pricing in Puerto Vallarta’s housing market has seen significant upward movement in June 2025. The Median Sale Price reached $549,413, a 66.99% YoY increase from $329,000 in June 2024, reflecting strong demand for mid-to-high-end homes. The Average Sale Price climbed to $845,632, up 76.16% YoY from $480,038, driven by sales in the $600,000–$2M range. Month-over-month (MoM), the Median Sale Price rose from $454,000 in May 2025, while the Average Sale Price increased from $620,304, indicating continued price appreciation. YTD, the Median Sale Price is $454,000, up 13.22% from $401,000 in 2024, and the Average Sale Price is $727,241, up 29.82% from $560,178.

The Sale to List Price Ratio was 95.6% in June 2025, meaning homes sold for 4.4% below their final asking price, a slight improvement from 94% in May 2025. This suggests buyers have some negotiating power, but sellers are still achieving close to their asking prices. These trends indicate a market where high-end sales are pushing prices up, but the slower pace (evidenced by the 27.21-month Absorption Rate) allows buyers to negotiate. Sellers may need to price competitively to attract offers in this inventory-rich environment.

Listings Activity by Price Range

In June 2025, Puerto Vallarta’s housing market showed varied activity across price ranges. Active Listings totaled 628, with the highest concentration in the $1M–$1.5M range (64 listings) and $200,000–$250,000 range (47 listings). The $250,000–$300,000 range saw a 114.3% YoY increase in Active Listings (45 vs. 21), indicating growing inventory in this affordable segment. YTD, Active Listings are up 20% (1,090 vs. 908 in 2024), with strong growth in the $550,000–$600,000 range (52.2% YoY). New Listings dropped to 48, down 35.1% YoY, with the most activity in the $200,000–$250,000 range (6 listings) and $150,000–$200,000 range (5 listings).

Pended Listings totaled 27, down 6.9% YoY, with the $550,000–$600,000 range leading at 5 pending sales, up significantly from zero in June 2024. YTD, Pended Listings are up 16.1% (187 vs. 161), with the $400,000–$450,000 range showing a 250% YoY increase. Sold Listings reached 30, up 42.9% YoY, with the $600,000–$650,000 range (4 sales) and $2M–$3M range (3 sales) performing strongly. YTD, Sold Listings are up 21.7% (157 vs. 129), with the $1M–$1.5M range (40% YoY increase) and $400,000–$450,000 range (80% YoY increase) showing robust activity.

The data suggests a bifurcated market: affordable homes ($150,000–$300,000) have high inventory and steady sales, while luxury homes ($600,000–$2M) are driving price growth. The drop in New Listings may signal seller caution, but strong pending activity in mid-range segments indicates future sales potential. Weak performers include the $100,000–$150,000 range (no sales in June 2025) and ultra-luxury ($3M+), with minimal activity.

Market Implications

For Buyers:

Buyers in Puerto Vallarta’s June 2025 housing market have significant opportunities due to high inventory (628 Active Listings) and a 27.21-month Absorption Rate. This buyer’s market allows for greater choice, particularly in the $150,000–$300,000 and $1M–$1.5M ranges, where inventory is plentiful. The 95.6% Sale to List Price Ratio suggests room for negotiation, enabling buyers to secure homes below asking prices.

However, rapidly rising prices (Median Sale Price up 66.99% YoY) indicate that waiting may increase costs, especially in high-demand segments like $600,000–$2M. Buyers should focus on affordable or mid-range properties for the best value and act quickly on well-priced homes, as strong sales activity (30 Sold Listings) shows competition in popular price ranges.

For Sellers:

Sellers face a competitive market with 628 Active Listings and a 269-day Average DOM. Pricing strategy is critical, as the 95.6% Sale to List Price Ratio indicates buyers are negotiating. Sellers in the $600,000–$2M range can capitalize on strong demand, where sales are robust, but must price competitively to stand out in a crowded market.

The 35.1% YoY drop in New Listings suggests caution among sellers, but those with well-maintained homes in desirable price ranges ($200,000–$300,000 or $1M–$1.5M) can attract buyers. Staging and professional marketing are essential to reduce DOM and compete with the high inventory.

For Investors:

Investors will find Puerto Vallarta’s housing market appealing due to strong price appreciation (Average Sale Price up 76.16% YoY) and growing inventory. The $150,000–$300,000 range offers affordable entry points for rental properties, with steady sales and pending activity indicating demand. The $1M–$2M luxury segment presents opportunities for high-end vacation rentals, given robust sales in this range.

The 27.21-month Absorption Rate suggests a slower market, allowing investors to negotiate deals, but the long-term potential remains strong due to Puerto Vallarta’s appeal as a tourist destination. Investors should target properties with strong rental yield potential and monitor pending activity for emerging trends.
