PUERTO PEÑASCO, Mexico – The roar of thousands of motorcycles faded into the sunset as the 25th Annual Rocky Point Rally wrapped up November 9, leaving behind packed hotels and a fresh wave of real estate inquiries.

Just days earlier, Día de los Muertos transformed the town with glowing altars, Catrina parades and candlelit cemetery vigils that reminded everyone why this coastal gem feels like home.

Those back-to-back celebrations did more than entertain—they supercharged the 2025 real estate market and local economy. Visitors who arrived for the rally or to honor loved ones left with dreams of Sea of Cortez sunrises because local agents, including this writer, fielded a surge in inquiries, with many rally-goers extending stays to tour listings.

The reason why is Puerto Peñasco’s fundamentals remain rock-solid. Falling U.S. interest rates are already unlocking bigger buying power for American clients, and that momentum is pouring straight into our market. Oceanfront homes here still cost a fraction of anything you’ll find in San Diego, Scottsdale, or South Florida.

Best of all, our destination boasts Mexico’s longest continuous stretch of Blue Flag-certified beaches—a title no other Mexican city can claim, according to the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), the international body that awards the Blue Flag. In 2025, both Sandy Beach and Islas del Mar earned the prestigious global eco-label yet again for crystal-clear water, spotless sand and zero litter.

U.S. dollar pricing keeps every listing transparent and hassle-free. Buyers can lock in one-bedroom beachfront condos starting at $250,000 and custom ocean-view homes under $400,000—values simply impossible to match in California or Arizona.

November delivered the perfect buying window. Post-summer crowds vanished, temperatures dropped to the perfect 70s, and motivated sellers offered flexible terms before the holiday rush. Rally riders who planned to stay three days lingered a week, touring listings between poker runs.

Events like the rally consistently attract thousands and boost short-term rental demand, with platforms reporting strong bookings during November peaks. Tourism resurgence and retiree interest drove market growth, as noted in early 2025 analyses.

Puerto Peñasco’s boom didn’t just rumble—it thundered through November. If you missed the action, the door remains open. Prime properties still sit waiting, but they won’t last long.
