What is moving this market in 2026.
- 1. Nearshoring that hasn't slowed. Mexican and American manufacturing in Nuevo León keeps demand for executive housing high. Carretera Nacional and Apodaca benefit the most.
- 2. Mortgage rates have settled. After the 2024 peak, fixed rates in 2026 run 10-12%. Mortgage-backed demand is back to normal levels.
- 3. Almost no land left in the premium areas. San Pedro and Valle Oriente have practically no land for new development, which holds prices up.
