In this episode of Notes From the Field, Ronan McMahon shares his biggest insights after spending more than a month on the ground in Cabo, Mexico—one of the most dynamic real estate markets in the world today.

Broadcasting from Guadalajara, Ronan reflects on four and a half weeks exploring Los Cabos, from the wild Pacific beaches of Cabo San Lucas to the charming historic streets of San José del Cabo and the rapidly evolving neighborhoods overlooking the city.

Along the way, he explains why Cabo has become a global magnet for wealth, tourism, and investment—and why the market continues to deliver extraordinary returns for early buyers.

Ronan also breaks down the neighborhoods driving Cabo’s growth, including the rise of El Tezal as a vibrant residential district and the massive concentration of luxury resorts along the famous Tourist Corridor.

For investors who entered the market early, the results have been dramatic. Homes once purchased for around $420,000 are now listing for over $1 million, while condos bought just a few years ago have seen gains of 60% or more before even taking possession.

But beyond the numbers, Ronan explains why Cabo has become something even more powerful:
a thriving international hub attracting entrepreneurs, creatives, and affluent residents from around the world.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Ronan’s biggest takeaways after 4+ weeks of boots-on-the-ground research
• Why Cabo is becoming a satellite market of California
• The neighborhoods where the biggest gains have already occurred
