Data note: Every figure for markets outside Riviera Maya on this page -- price/m², yields, tax rates, days on market, appreciation, legal security scores -- is an illustrative reference estimate, not sourced from a live collector or citation. They vary significantly by specific location, unit type, and management quality, and tax rates in particular change. Riviera Maya's own figures elsewhere on this platform are the real, collector-fed ones; these comparison figures are not. Not investment advice -- verify independently.
