Mexico City, September 24, 2026 – The residential market in Mexico City is seeing demand concentrated in a select group of boroughs, though the availability of properties does not always align with the interest of buyers and renters.
Benito Juárez Leads Housing Searches in CDMX
According to data from Inmuebles24 for August 2026, Benito Juárez tops the list for housing searches for both purchase and rent. It is followed by Cuauhtémoc, Miguel Hidalgo, Álvaro Obregón, and Coyoacán. The data also highlights significant differences in price ranges that attract ad views, and in the supply-demand relationship across key boroughs.
Benito Juárez: High Interest, Lower Supply for Purchase
For those looking to buy property in the capital, Benito Juárez is the most attractive borough, capturing 24% of the total interest registered on the platform. However, its share of the supply is lower, representing only 16% of available listings. This indicates a gap between the number of people seeking properties and the actual listings in this area.
Following Benito Juárez, the boroughs with the highest interest for purchase are Cuauhtémoc, Miguel Hidalgo, Álvaro Obregón, and Coyoacán. In contrast, some areas show a proportionally higher supply than demand. For example, in Cuajimalpa de Morelos, demand accounts for 4% of the total, while supply reaches 11%. A similar situation is observed in Álvaro Obregón, with demand at 8.7% and supply at 14%.
Inmuebles24 notes that the five most attractive boroughs for purchase share characteristics such as connectivity, proximity to corporate and commercial corridors, diverse services, and established real estate markets.
What Price Ranges Attract Purchase Searches?
User interest is not solely focused on lower-priced properties. Properties priced above 7.5 million pesos account for 44% of views on sales listings, while properties between approximately 3.08 and 7.56 million pesos receive 31% of views. The segment up to 3.08 million pesos concentrates 25% of views.
| Property Price Range | Percentage of Views |
|---|---|
| Up to $3,080,656 | 25% |
| $3,082,000 to $7,560,000 | 31% |
| $7,569,700 and above | 44% |

Rental Market Shows Similar Trends
The rental market exhibits similar patterns. Benito Juárez, Cuauhtémoc, Miguel Hidalgo, Álvaro Obregón, and Coyoacán are the five boroughs with the highest number of rental property searches. In this segment, the majority of views (79%) are for properties with monthly rents up to 48,470 pesos.
Properties with rents between 48,480 and 196,064 pesos account for 18% of views, while properties priced above 196,119 pesos attract only 3%.
| Monthly Rent Range | Percentage of Views |
|---|---|
| Up to $48,470 | 79% |
| $48,480 to $196,064 | 18% |
| $196,119 and above | 3% |

Regarding availability, Miguel Hidalgo and Álvaro Obregón have a higher supply participation than demand. Cuajimalpa, though not among the top five boroughs for rental searches, also stands out for its volume of supply.
A Residential Market Divided by Price and Availability
The Inmuebles24 data indicates that Mexico City’s residential appeal is primarily concentrated in areas with good connectivity, services, and access to employment and commercial corridors. Simultaneously, the discrepancies between views and available listings demonstrate that demand levels do not always align with existing supply in each borough.
In the sales market, higher-priced properties hold significant weight, while in the rental market, searches are mainly concentrated on properties with monthly rents up to 48,470 pesos. This reflects two distinct patterns within the capital’s residential market.
