BidMexico is not open to the public yet. This address is temporary and no auction on this site is real.

Property auctions in Tulum, with the paperwork on the table.

Tulum has plenty of supply and very little price transparency. A well-located property can sit for months with nobody knowing what it is truly worth. We run fixed-term auctions with visible bidding and a document pack verified before a lot ever opens.

How to buy

  1. Register free

    Browse lots, save searches and get alerts. No cost, no commitment.

  2. Get cleared to bid

    Current photo ID, acceptance of the auction terms, and the reservation deposit on record.

  3. Bid until close

    The reserve stays hidden; you see only whether it has been met. A bid in the final minutes extends the close, so nobody wins on reflexes.

  4. If you win

    The reservation deposit is recorded and you sign the promesa de compraventa. The deposit is credited against the final price.

  5. Close before the notario

    Foreign buyers need an SRE permit and a bank fideicomiso. Realistically 6 to 12 weeks to escrituración.

What bidding asks of you

  1. Create your account with an email address and a password.
  2. Verify your identity with official photo ID and accept the terms.
  3. Register a payment mandate with the team: a signed commitment, not a charge.

While you bid, nothing is charged. If you win, the escrow agent contacts you for the thousand-dollar deposit, outside this platform.

The essentials

  • Hidden
    The reserve is never published. You see only whether it has been met.
  • Fixed term
    Every lot has a closing date and time, measured by the server clock alone.
  • Extension
    A late bid extends the close, as many times as it takes.
  • No funds
    BidMexico never receives or holds buyers’ money.
  • Binding
    An accepted bid is a firm, irrevocable offer. If you are leading and the reserve is met, you are bound to buy.

Why the paperwork comes first

No lot is published without a complete, verified pack: escritura pública, certificado de libertad de gravámenes, predial paid up, and depending on the property type, régimen de condominio, HOA fees or a land-use certificate.

Every document carries the name of the notario or lawyer who verified it, with a date. We do not ask you to trust us; we tell you who checked it.

Where land has ejido origin, we flag it on the listing and require documented regularisation. It is the most common way a foreign buyer loses money in Tulum, and we would rather show it than hide it.

If you win

This is what happens next, with real timings. We say it before you bid, not after.

  1. Promesa de compraventa

    You sign the promesa de compraventa, the preliminary purchase contract, and the reservation deposit is recorded.

  2. Notarial review

    The notario checks title, liens and property tax before anything proceeds.

  3. SRE permit and fideicomiso

    A foreign buyer in the restricted zone needs a permit from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and a bank trust, the fideicomiso.

  4. Escrituración

    You sign the escritura pública before the notario and pay the balance.

  5. Registration

    The deed is registered in your name at the Registro Público de la Propiedad.

Realistic timeline for a foreign buyer: 6 to 12 weeks.
