The Numbers: What’s Happening in Mexico City?

Mexico City continues to exhibit an upward trend in the number of reserved nights, with an annual growth of 7%. However, the number of available listings continues to increase each year, by 19%.

This imbalance of supply surpassing demand has led to a decrease in year-on-year occupancy (-8%) and prices (-11%), adversely affecting unit incomes in the market, decreasing by -22% year-over-year.

Market Factors: Supply and Demand

Supply: Despite an ongoing increase in available nights (+11%), the growth rate in the first quarter has decreased compared to the previous year.

Demand: Although there is a year-on-year increase in the number of reserved nights, it has not been able to keep up with the growth of new listings, resulting in a continued decline in occupancy rates. This trend has contributed to a decrease in rates (-11%).

Forecast for Q2 2024

  • Mexico City continues to attract the highest annual number of travelers in Mexico, a trend expected to persist in 2024. This is especially true for business travelers, where numbers are anticipated to return to pre-COVID levels.

  • The decline in occupancy rates is slowing down due to a trend toward transitioning to the long-term rental model or selling by property owners. This change is expected to help stabilize both occupancy and daily rates in the market.
