Real estate prices are creeping up all over the world and Lake Chapala, Mexico is no exception. Although increases here have not been as significant as up in Canada and U.S., we have seen prices rise over the past 8 years to a level that are making some people think twice. Adding to this is the fact that all home purchases are cash, and while mortgages are available, the interest rates are astronomical.

So since we're all looking for a good deal and don't want to invest more out of our limited savings than we need to, I've searched the market and these are my picks for the the 5 cheapest homes (worth looking at) currently on the market as of July 2026.
