Sell or Keep Renting?

The honest question

PlayaStays manages rentals and advises on sales. We give you the honest picture based on current Cozumel market data — no sales agenda.

Consider selling if: You need to redeploy capital, the property has significantly appreciated, or your investment horizon has concluded.

Consider keeping if: Your Cozumel property earns around $2,000–$6,000 monthly and you don't need the capital. Appreciation and rental income can make holding compelling.

What's selling right now

Cozumel is driven by two very different guest profiles: cruise-ship day visitors and multi-night stays from divers and return travelers. San Miguel and the west-side beachfront corridor see the strongest rental demand. Cruise seasonality creates predictable peaks and valleys — professional management smooths revenue by capturing the longer-stay dive and leisure market that overlaps with cruise weekdays.

Chris, PlayaStays founder

Hi, I'm Chris — founder of PlayaStays.

When the right move is selling, the right move is selling. We don't push a deal you shouldn't make — I'd rather give you an honest read on rent vs. sale and earn your trust over the next decade than win this one transaction. If you're weighing an exit on your Quintana Roo property, talk to me first.

FAQ

About this service in Cozumel

Cozumel's diving and cruise economies produce reliable rental income for well-managed properties. Rent-vs-sell depends on your capital needs and investment horizon — Cozumel has appreciated steadily but more moderately than Tulum. We give a no-pressure read using current Cozumel comparable sales and rental performance, with no hidden brokerage agenda.
San Miguel area condos and west-side beachfront units are the most active resale segments. Town-center properties move steadier than peripheral inventory. Beachfront premium varies sharply by exact west-side positioning. We pull current market context for your specific property type.
Foreign sellers face capital gains tax (ISR), notary fees, brokerage commissions (typically 4–6%), and fideicomiso cancellation if applicable. Tax position depends on residency, holding period, and tax-treaty status. We coordinate with qualified Mexican tax counsel — we don't provide tax advice ourselves.
Cozumel resale timing varies — well-positioned condos in San Miguel can move in 4–9 months at the right price; specialized beachfront homes can take 9–18 months. The buyer pool blends international (US, Canada, Europe) and Mexican investors. We give honest market context and timeline expectations.
Cozumel buyers value condition, dive-friendly amenities, and beach or town proximity. Targeted improvements (kitchen refresh, AC system upgrade, exterior weatherproofing) can pay back; generic upgrades typically don't. We can recommend whether improvements make sense for your specific property and target buyer.
Yes — and many Cozumel owners do, both to maintain cash flow during listing and because investor buyers want to see real booking and review data. Coordination matters: dive-trip showings flex around guest stays and ferry schedules.

How we operate

Island logistics demand documentation: every part, every ferry, every cost — tracked.

Cozumel is an island. Every replacement part rides the ferry from Playa or sits ordered for days. Documenting which technician, which vendor, which part number, what it cost — and the timeline — is the only way you ever understand your maintenance spend on an island market. We don't guess. We log.
