Pre-construction or move-in ready: what wins in Huatulco
Price, appreciation, risk and time horizon: how to choose between buying under construction or finished.
Entry price
Pre-construction sells below delivery-day pricing. At Sundara prices start at $2.75M MXN with Phase 1 delivery in December 2026.
Appreciation during construction
The gap between the pre-sale price and market value at delivery is the most predictable part of the return, and it does not depend on renting the unit.
Risk and how to lower it
Check real construction progress, permits and the schedule. Sundara publishes drone progress photography so you can verify the current state.
Time horizon
If you need the property this year, move-in ready wins. If your horizon is 2027 onward, pre-construction usually leaves more value on the table.
