September 2026 at a Glance
House Prices and Trends
No free, official monthly price series is published for San Agustín specifically, so this section uses the national index for Mexico as the reference; local asking-price movements typically follow the national direction with a lag of one to two quarters.
The national house price index for Mexico rose 7.3% year on year in Q2 2026 and was +1.3% against the previous quarter, according to BIS, Residential property prices (nominal). A year earlier the annual rate was +8.7%, so growth has cooled over twelve months. More recently, though, the annual rate has eased from the previous quarter, which suggests the market is losing some steam even as prices stay well above year-ago levels.

What to watch next month
- The next quarterly release of the house price index for Mexico (Q2 2026 is the latest) — whether annual growth keeps slowing.
- Upcoming decisions by Banco de México — any move from 6.50% feeds through to mortgage pricing within weeks.
What This Means for Buyers, Sellers and Investors
The market is moving but not running away; there is time for due diligence, and properties that have sat unsold for months are where discounts appear.
Well-presented property at a realistic price attracts multiple viewings; unrealistic asking prices are being ignored.
Falling financing costs improve leveraged returns and widen the gap between yield and mortgage rate.
