I’d be careful with automatic reduction triggers. Low activity can reflect condition, presentation, new-listing volume or buyer-financing difficulties, not just price. Record what prospective buyers actually object to before cutting. If several like the home but cannot justify the figure against...

Ask both agents to defend their figures using the same boundaries and property condition. Separate recent completed sales from active listings and withdrawn stock; otherwise an ambitious unsold home gets treated as evidence of value. I’d also want to know how much competing stock is newly...

Start with monthly affordability at today’s rate, then rerun it at a meaningfully higher reset rate. Also compare the total cost over the period you realistically expect to own, including arrangement fees—not just the headline rate. What loan-to-value are you considering, and is 4.70% fixed for...

One addition to my last comment: use the inspection period to revisit the purchase price or your maximum, not merely to plan repairs afterward. If the cash left over has to cover both normal living emergencies and unresolved property work, the duplex may simply be too close to the limit. Walking...

I’m not convinced a larger percentage alone protects the programme. A vague base scope can consume any contingency. Before committing to the 106 days, split the work into investigation and construction. Confirm moisture sources, drainage routes, electrical condition and whether any apparently...

That is the main weakness. I don’t yet have enough detail to answer those sample and timing questions consistently, so I’ll keep the numbers labelled as indicative rather than imply a defined index. For the next revision, I’ll separate the date observed, comparison period, geography, property...

I’m assembling a March 2026 community snapshot for Mexico City, focused on country homes. The current indications are 62 days on market, asking-price movement of +4.7%, and visible financing sensitivity around MX$20,340,000. These are discussion inputs, not an official index. The decision is...

I agree about delaying furniture, but I’d be cautious about labelling all non-urgent inspection findings as deferrable. A minor-looking moisture, drainage or electrical issue can become more expensive if ignored. Once the report arrives, ask for costs and timing rather than just a list of...

The arithmetic supports caution. The difference is MX$2,420 per month. Even one vacant month at MX$17,140 would take a little over seven months of collecting that full difference to recover, before advertising, cleaning or refurbishment. That does not mean never increasing, but it gives you a...

How long has the current rent been in place, and when does the lease renew? Also, are the comparables genuinely similar detached homes in the same immediate area and condition? Those facts matter more than the headline gap. I would also consider whether there are unresolved repairs, because an...

What does “Mexico City” cover in your notes? Country homes could sit in very different submarkets from urban houses, even when portals group them under the same broad location. Commute time and the exact neighbourhood boundary may explain more than seasonality.

Which two neighbourhoods, and what counts as a serviced apartment in your figures? An operator-managed unit, a furnished apartment with some services, and an ordinary apartment marketed as turnkey may attract different buyers. I’d also confirm whether “36 days” runs to accepted offer or...
