The big picture

Real estate shapes daily life in Puerto Vallarta. New towers rise alongside small condo rehabs; short-term rentals reshape blocks; and long-stay visitors look for homes that work year-round. The result is a market where the view from one street can differ from the next.

Demand doesn’t move in a straight line. Exchange rates, mortgage access, and airfare change who is shopping and how quickly deals close. Some neighborhoods run hot while others cool, and price per square meter shifts with finishes, HOAs, and proximity to the beach.

Regulation matters. Zoning, permitting, and short-term rental rules affect what gets built and how people live with the changes. When enforcement is clear, confidence rises. When it isn’t, residents and small owners feel the strain first.

Our coverage connects listings and closings to real impacts—rents, noise, construction, services—and explains how decisions at city hall travel into people’s homes and budgets.
