How active list prices shift by city, property type, neighborhood, and price band.

XA’AN market field notes
read the market without pretending the data is complete.
Mexico has no single complete national sales database. Useful reporting starts by showing the catalog, date range, sample size, and limits behind every number.

Research method
A first purchase becomes manageable when each unknown is turned into a named output.

XA’AN will distinguish active asking-price evidence from verified sales, remove stale records where possible, and disclose how much inventory supports each conclusion. Until a sample can support a claim, we will say so.

The scorecard
four signals every report should carry.
Each signal is segmented by market and property type, with enough context to understand what changed.
Available inventory
What buyers can compare now, how the catalog changes, and which segments are thin.
↗Time on market
How long verifiable listings remain active before they disappear or materially change.
↗Buyer attention
Which markets, home types, and price ranges buyers open and search most often.
↗Disclosure layer
the report should expose its own operating conditions.

Live market field
four markets, four different operating contexts.
Coastal density, island constraints, lakeside communities, and neighborhood-level inventory do not collapse cleanly into one national average.
Systems
04 buying controls.
Budget, representation, written terms, and verification move as one operating loop. Each leaves evidence behind.

Publishing loop
from raw listings to a defensible market note.
Every edition moves through the same evidence checks before interpretation is published.
Collect
Capture active listings with source, location, price, type, and observation date.
Clean
Remove duplicates, expired inventory, incomplete records, and unsupported comparisons.
Compare
Segment the sample and test whether it is large and stable enough to describe.
Disclose
Publish the result beside its sample, dates, method, caveats, and source coverage.
Current evidence
start with the live catalog.
Until XA’AN publishes a supported market edition, use active listings to compare current asking prices and inventory. Treat them as a market window—not a sales index.
