The Mexican Real Estate sector is also growing, 2021 saw 9.5% growth compared with 2020 and is expected to grow by an additional 10% during 2022. Certain hurdles also need to be overcome by developers and construction companies in Mexico. Overall, Mexico’s Real Estate sector has some challenges but due to positive growth and regulatory hurdles, PropTech companies are in a prime position to solve these issues and benefit Mexicans in the process.
