Todos Santos Real Estate: Market Trends, Buyer Demand, and What's Actually Selling

Todos Santos is one of Baja California Sur's most talked-about real estate markets, but it's also one of the least understood. It operates on its own logic, attracts a different kind of buyer, and its data tells a story most people haven't heard yet. In this conversation, Alejandro Ehrenberg from Destino Magazine sits down with Tyson Gargas, broker at Ricardo Amigo Real Estate, to talk about what's actually happening in the Todos Santos market right now. Tyson works the Pacific corridor and tracks MLS data closely, so what he shares is grounded in what the numbers actually show. They cover the geographic and cultural factors that set Todos Santos apart, who's buying and where they're coming from, appreciation trends over the last five years, and the significant shift away from land purchases toward turnkey homes. Tyson also breaks down the price spectrum — what the mid-range looks like, where the top end sits, and why inventory at the higher end is still catching up to demand. The conversation ends at La Huerta San Sebastián, a ten-home residential enclave in the San Sebastián neighborhood currently under development. Designed by five prominent Mexican architects — each working within the specific conditions of the land, the climate, and the town — it represents a particular thesis about what high-end development in Todos Santos should look like.
