What $2 million buys in Los Cabos: ocean-view homes and oceanfront condos by neighborhood, from real MLS sales

Two million dollars in Los Cabos can mean a 4-bedroom house with an ocean view and room for the whole family, or a smaller condo with the waves right below your terrace. Most U.S. buyers don't realize they have to pick one, and the asking price is rarely what homes actually sell for. We analyzed 51 real closed sales between $1.8 and $2.2 million in the Los Cabos MLS so you know exactly what this budget buys, and in which neighborhoods.

🏠 House or Condo? The Big Trade-Off

At this budget, the choice between a house and a condo changes everything you get:

  Condo House
Sales 28 23
Median price $1.88M $2.02M
Interior space ~2,270 sq ft ~3,340 sq ft
Bedrooms 3 4
Price per sq ft $808 $575
Oceanfront sales 8 0

What this means for you: every oceanfront sale at this price was a condo. If you want to hear the waves from your bedroom, $2 million buys you a condo of about 2,000–2,500 sq ft on the beach, mostly in San José del Cabo. If you want space, a private pool and a golf or ocean view, a house gives you about 1,000 sq ft more for the same money.

📍 Where $2 Million Sales Happened, by Neighborhood

Neighborhood Sales What $2 million bought
Club Campestre 11 4-bedroom ocean-view condos in Larena of about 2,230 sq ft, or ocean-view houses of 2,900–4,100 sq ft in Los Valles, Vista Lagos, Solesta and La Cañada
San José del Cabo beach 6 Mostly oceanfront condos of about 1,900–2,500 sq ft in Tortuga Bay, Aura and Las Mañanitas, plus one larger ocean-view condo in Tortuga Bay
Quivira 4 3-bedroom ocean-view condos in Alvar (2,300–2,800 sq ft) or houses in Copala (2,500–3,000 sq ft)
Cabo del Sol 4 An ocean-view condo in Puerta del Sol, or houses of 2,700–6,500 sq ft in Brisas, Las Posadas and Vista Azul
Palmilla 3 The entry point: a condo in Palmilla Dunes or a 3-bedroom house of about 2,700–3,000 sq ft
Pedregal 3 Ocean-view houses of 3,000–3,700 sq ft, close to downtown Cabo San Lucas
Diamante 3 4-bedroom homes of 2,500–2,900 sq ft in Las Casitas and Las Casas, without an ocean view
Querencia 2 3-bedroom condos in Las Verandas of about 2,630 sq ft, with ocean or golf view
Puerto Los Cabos 2 A golf-view condo in Fundadores or a 4,760 sq ft golf-view house in La Noria

The other 13 sales were in neighborhoods outside our nine golf and beach communities, such as El Encanto, Gringo Hills, the Cabo San Lucas beachfront and the Corridor.

What stands out: Club Campestre had the most sales at this price, because $2 million there buys a large ocean-view home. In Palmilla and Querencia, the same money is the entry ticket. In Diamante, $2 million usually means no ocean view.

🔎 What Is for Sale Today Around $2 Million

As of November 2026, there are 36 homes and condos listed between $1.8 and $2.2 million in Los Cabos: 29 houses and only 7 condos. Most are in these neighborhoods:

  • Pedregal: 9 houses
  • Club Campestre: 9 houses
  • Diamante: 5 houses
  • Quivira: 1 house and 2 condos
  • Palmilla: 1 condo

If you want an oceanfront condo at this price, there is very little on the market right now. When one appears, it moves fast. And keep in mind that homes over $1 million in Los Cabos usually close below their asking price, so the listing price is a starting point, not the final number.

💸 The Costs Most U.S. Buyers Miss

The price is not the whole budget. Monthly HOA fees change a lot by neighborhood. These are typical fees from recent MLS sales:

  • Quivira condos: about $550 a month
  • Club Campestre condos: about $670 a month
  • Palmilla condos: about $720 a month
  • Puerto Los Cabos houses: about $1,080 a month
  • Cabo del Sol condos: about $2,320 a month

Add closing costs, property tax and insurance before you decide. A condo with a $2,320 HOA costs about $21,000 more a year than one with a $550 HOA. See Understanding Closing Costs When Buying in Mexico.
