Four entities show an increase in housing demand from January 2020 to September 2021, in at least one main city.
Security does have an impact on the demand for housing since Yucatán, Campeche or Nayarit show growth in the matter since they are considered three of the ‘safest states’ in Mexico.
Last May, the Institute for the Economy and Peace shared that Yucatán is, for the fifth consecutive year, the most peaceful state, followed by Tlaxcala, Chiapas, Campeche, and Nayarit.
The report ‘Mexico Peace Index 2021 (IPM)’ is based mainly on data published by the Executive Secretariat of the National Public Security System (SESNSP).
Mercado Libre carried out a real estate analysis to see if there is any impact on the flow of housing demand, asking itself: the more peace there is in a state, the more people will move to it?
It determined that four states do show an increase in housing demand from January 2020 to September 2021, in at least one major city.
For example, the index positioned Baja California as the least peaceful in the country, however, the Mercado Libre report showed that four of its cities increased the demand for real estate.
Made up of “Playas de Rosarito, which grew 170%; Tijuana, 178%; Mexicali, 221%, and Ensenada, 166 ”, shared the Marketplace.
Increase in demand for housing:
Yucatan. Temozón and Telchac Puerto are the areas where there has been the most growth, with 139% and 317%, respectively, from January 2020 to September 2021, while in Mérida demand increased by 5% in the same period.
