Average Rental Price in CDMX to Surpass US $1,100
The average apartment rental price in Mexico City is forecasted to reach 21,000 pesos (US $1,134) per month by the end of 2025, representing a 12-15% increase over 2024, according to Mercado Libre Inmuebles.
The price increase is attributed to factors such as high demand for prime locations and the preference for renting over taking on a mortgage amidst rising inflation, explained Juan Céspedes, senior manager for Mexico, Venezuela, and Colombia.
The increase isn’t just an adjustment for inflation; it’s a direct result of people being willing to pay more to be close to work, prioritizing mobility and a central location.
Rental prices in Mexico City vary from 2,700 pesos ($145) to over 125,000 pesos ($6,750) per month, said Céspedes. The platform expects an 8-10% increase in rental prices in 2026.
