What sources have we used to write this blog article?
Whether it’s in our blog articles or the market analyses included in our property pack about Guadalajara, we always rely on the strongest methodology we can … and we don’t throw out numbers at random.
We also aim to be fully transparent, so below we’ve listed the authoritative sources we used, and explained how we used them and the methods behind our estimates.
| Source | Why this source matters | How we used it |
|---|---|---|
| Sociedad Hipotecaria Federal, Índice SHF de Precios de la Vivienda | SHF is Mexico’s federal housing finance institution and publishes an official housing price index based on appraised values. | We used SHF to anchor the market trend in Mexico and avoid relying only on asking prices. We also used it to compare new, used, house, and apartment price movements. |
| SHF Q1 2026 housing price release | This is the official Q1 2026 release for Mexico’s housing price index. | We used this release for the national 2026 growth signal and for national appraised-value benchmarks. We used those benchmarks as a reality check against Guadalajara portal listings. |
| Inmuebles24 Guadalajara city market page | Inmuebles24 is one of Mexico’s largest property portals and gives live asking-price data by city. | We used Inmuebles24 to understand the visible listing market in Guadalajara. We treated its values as asking prices, not as final closing prices. |
| Propiedades.com apartments for sale in Guadalajara | Propiedades.com is a large Mexican portal that publishes transparent listing medians by property type. | We used this source for apartment median prices, median size, and price per sq m. We also used its neighborhood examples to compare central and western Guadalajara. |
| Propiedades.com houses for sale in Guadalajara | This source separates houses from apartments, which is important in a mixed city like Guadalajara. | We used it to estimate house prices and house price per sq m. We used it to explain why houses can look cheaper per sq m than apartments. |
| Banco de México exchange-rate system | Banxico is Mexico’s central bank and is the official reference for the peso-dollar exchange-rate methodology. | We used Banxico as the exchange-rate authority. We applied MXN 17.35 per US$1 and MXN 20.30 per €1 to keep conversions readable. |
| INEGI | INEGI is Mexico’s official statistics agency and publishes inflation and demographic data. | We used INEGI as the inflation reference for real-price comparisons. We used inflation to explain the difference between nominal growth and real growth. |
| Guadalajara Catastro transfer-tax simulator | This is the municipal system used to estimate transfer tax in Guadalajara. | We used it to estimate buyer-side acquisition tax. We treated the simulator as indicative because final costs are calculated through the notary and municipal process. |
| Guadalajara Catastro 2026 cadastral values | This is the official municipal reference for land and construction cadastral values. | We used it to understand why central and western neighborhoods have higher fiscal values. We did not use cadastral values as market prices because market prices are usually higher. |
| Colegio de Notarios de Jalisco 2026 notarial tariff | This is the official Jalisco reference for notarial tariffs. | We used it to estimate notary-related costs in Guadalajara. We combined it with municipal tax references to estimate total buyer-side costs. |
| Propiedades.com neighborhood apartment examples | This source helps compare apartment prices across neighborhoods inside Guadalajara. | We used neighborhood examples for areas such as Americana, Providencia, Moderna, and Ladrón de Guevara. We used the figures as listing-market evidence, not as guaranteed sale prices. |
| Inmuebles24 Guadalajara neighborhood listings | This source is useful because it shows active inventory and asking prices in the current market. | We used it to cross-check average price levels and price per sq m.
