For comparison, condos, which are most of what sells: in the inventory shared by Riviera Maya brokers, as of August 11, 2026, there are 462 condo listings in Playa del Carmen priced in dollars, with a median entry price of $228,683 USD and half the listings between $173,786 USD and $331,325 USD.

By stage, presale: 118 with a median of $181,110 USD, new and ready: 43 with a median of $209,000 USD and resale: 301 with a median of $248,253 USD. Presale enters cheaper than resale because you pay with time: the gap between medians is $67,143 USD.

These are asking prices, not closing prices, and the cheapest condo in a listing is not the typical one in that building. The table below splits them by area.

Playa del Carmen sits inside the 50 km coastal strip the Mexican Constitution calls the restricted zone. A foreigner does not hold title directly: you buy through a fideicomiso, a bank trust. The bank is the trustee and you decide everything: use it, rent it, sell it or leave it to your heirs. It runs 50 years and renews.

The first year costs about USD 2,200 to 3,000 between the SRE permit, the bank setup and the first annual fee; after that, USD 500 to 800 a year. The 2026 official fees are in our fideicomiso cost guide.

On $181,527 USD, the median of what is on this page, closing runs close to $12,041 USD: about 6.6% of the price. That covers the notary (around 2.5%), ISABI (Quintana Roo's acquisition tax, 3%), the appraisal, the lien-free certificate, the first year of property tax and setting up the fideicomiso.

These are estimates and every notary charges differently. Mexican buyers skip the fideicomiso and the rest stays the same. The closing-cost calculator runs it on your price.

The land's public deed in the seller's name, a current lien-free certificate, zoning and building permits, and the developer's track record: how many projects delivered and how late.

In presale, also the contract and real construction progress against the promised schedule. Buying with HH costs the same as going straight to the developer: in the Riviera Maya the seller pays the commission. The difference is what we check before you sign.
