The most common question from buyers in the Bay of Banderas is simple: “how much does it cost?”. The honest answer almost never appears in a brochure. That’s why we publish, openly and updated, the real price statistics from our active inventory — the same one that advisors and buyers use every day.
This data comes from the AMPI MLS inventory that Nami Realty publishes: over 4,000 properties for sale in Puerto Vallarta and the Riviera Nayarit. We use medians and percentiles (not just averages) so that a handful of luxury properties don’t distort the real picture of the market.

How to read this data
The median is the “middle” price: half of the properties cost less and half cost more. It is the most representative figure of the market. The range between P25 and P75 shows you where the bulk of the inventory is concentrated: if you’re looking for a typical condominium, that’s where you’ll find most of the real options.
The Bay of Banderas market is priced in dollars — this is normal and reflects the weight of the international buyer. Peso equivalents are for reference only, at Banxico’s reference exchange rate.

The median for a condominium in the area is approximately $460,000 USD, with most options concentrated between $322,000 and $645,000 USD. Prices vary greatly depending on proximity to the beach, neighborhood, and amenities.
Is Puerto Vallarta or the Riviera Nayarit more expensive?
The Riviera Nayarit has a slightly higher median than Puerto Vallarta, driven by luxury developments in areas such as Punta Mita and Flamingos. However, both offer options in all price ranges.
