The short answer

Luxury real estate on Banderas Bay is concentrated in three places: the Punta Mita peninsula, with branded residences and estate homes inside the gate; the hills of Conchas Chinas and Amapas, with villas above the coves south of town; and select towers and homes in Marina Vallarta. At this level, many of the best properties change hands privately.

Sales slowed in 2026 and homes are taking longer to sell, while sellers have mostly held their asking prices. House inventory has grown fastest, so house buyers have more choice and more room to negotiate than a year ago. In October 2026 the head of AMPI Riviera Nayarit said excess inventory is pushing some prices down.

These are averages for the whole city. Every building and street is priced differently, so I prepare a comparison of recent sales for each property you consider.

Off-market and private sales

Many owners of high-end homes prefer not to advertise. They sell quietly to qualified buyers through agents they trust. My AMIR. Private service shares these homes and pre-launch projects with clients before they appear online.

What to check at the top of the market

  • Club memberships, HOA rules and resale procedures inside gated developments.
  • Staffing, running costs and who manages the property while you are away.
  • Rental programs for branded residences, and how they affect your own use.
  • Resale: at the high end there are fewer buyers, so location and quality matter even more.

Discretion

I work with a small number of clients at a time. Viewings, negotiations and documents stay private, and I can work through your family office, attorney or advisor if you prefer.
