One thing buyers often overlook with pre-construction is **understanding everyone's incentives.** The developer wants to sell the project. That's expected. But your buyer's agent should be looking out for **you**. Over the last few years, I've talked with a lot of agents who are simply burned out on pre-construction. Not because they don't believe in it—but because they've lived through project after project with six-month, one-year, or even two-year delays. The hardest part isn't always the delay. It's the lack of communication. When a developer goes silent, the buyer doesn't stop asking questions. They call the agent who recommended the project. Suddenly, the buyer's agent becomes the one chasing updates, delivering bad news, and trying to manage expectations for months—or even years. Most buyer's agents genuinely want to do right by their clients. But after enough experiences like that, many have shifted toward recommending completed properties instead. The buyer gets certainty, the agent avoids years of follow-up, and everyone sleeps a little better. That doesn't mean pre-construction is a bad investment. It just means **the opportunity has to justify the risk.** If a completed property is priced similarly, offers better value, and can be enjoyed immediately, it's a conversation worth having. One phrase we use on our team is: **Bad news does not age well.** If a project is delayed, buyers deserve timely, honest updates. Silence doesn't make the problem smaller—it usually makes it worse.

Ask any of our agents where they actually go on weekends, and you'll get answers you won't find in a typical Cabo travel guide. David Horan took us through his: a long-weekend drive up to Loreto for waterfalls, swimming holes, and hikes with hardly anyone around. Medano Beach when he wants the energy of a crowd. And Thursday nights at the San Jose del Cabo Art Walk, beer and dog in hand. This is the version of Los Cabos our team actually lives, not just sells. 📍 Los Cabos & Baja California Sur CaboRealEstate.com

Casa Cazadora 119A just had its price adjusted in Cabo Bello, one of the Cabo Corridor's most walkable gated communities to a swimmable beach. The property is built as two fully independent living spaces: five bedrooms combined, two kitchens, two BBQ areas. That layout works two ways: a large family with room to spread out, or an owner living in one unit while renting the other for extra income. Cabo Bello is gated with 24/7 surveillance, and sits minutes from Fresko, Costco, Home Depot, and some of Cabo San Lucas' best restaurants. As with most properties in this zone, ownership runs through a bank trust (fideicomiso), a standard, well-established process for foreign buyers.

Fletcher, tú has hablado de una caída del mercado de aproximadamente 25 o 26% en términos de ventas. Entonces, ¿podemos decir que hace un par de años era un mercado de vendedores y ahora es un mercado de compradores? Fletcher: Sí. Yo diría que desde el año pasado ya empezábamos a ver ese cambio. Es cierto que el segmento de lujo seguía muy fuerte, pero en la mayoría de los mercados hoy el comprador tiene mucha más ventaja. Muchos compradores están esperando para tomar una decisión. Y cuando finalmente deciden, por ejemplo, que quieren vivir en El Tezal, descubren que no hay una o dos opciones… hay 10, 15 o hasta 16 propiedades similares disponibles. Eso cambia completamente la dinámica de la negociación. El comprador ya no tiene que conformarse con la primera opción que encuentra. Puede comparar ubicaciones, acabados, precios y condiciones, y negociar con varios vendedores al mismo tiempo. Ese es el tipo de mercado que estamos viendo hoy en muchas zonas de Los Cabos.

¿Por qué lanzar un proyecto nuevo en este mercado en Los Cabos? Es una pregunta que muchos desarrolladores deberían hacerse. En solo tres años, el costo de construcción ha aumentado de forma importante. Los mismos materiales hoy cuestan mucho más. Hablé recientemente con un constructor y me comentó que, por ejemplo, el precio del acero ya no se puede fijar por largos periodos. Antes podía hacer pedidos con mayor certeza; ahora los proveedores le avisan que el precio puede cambiar cada mes. Eso hace muy difícil presupuestar una obra. No solo suben los materiales, también la mano de obra y otros costos de construcción. Al mismo tiempo, hay mucho inventario disponible. Los compradores tienen más opciones que hace unos años y los desarrolladores compiten por un mercado más lento. Por eso creo que lanzar un proyecto hoy implica mucho más riesgo, tanto para el desarrollador como para el comprador. En el segmento de lujo puede haber oportunidades si el producto es realmente único, pero para muchos proyectos el margen de error es mucho menor que antes.

A lot of people ask us whether they need a second fideicomiso once they've built a house on land they already own in trust. The answer is no, but the paperwork that actually matters is easy to skip and expensive to fix later. We sat down with real estate attorney Eduardo Tapia to walk through the three documents, construction license, manifestación catastral, and terminación de obra, that need to be filed when raw land becomes a finished home. Skip them, and years down the road you could be paying capital gains tax on a house that, on paper, doesn't exist. 📍 Los Cabos, Baja California Sur marketing@caborealestate.com | CaboRealEstate.com . . . #RealEstateTips #Fideicomiso #LosCabosRealEstate #BajaCaliforniaSur #PropertyInvestment
