Cancún is a dual market, and that duality is the key to ad efficiency: mixing local home buyers and vacation-rental investors into one campaign destroys the performance of both. Separating them, with distinct landing pages and arguments, is the first optimisation.
Quick answer
Real estate marketing in Cancún serves two markets in parallel: local Quintana Roo buyers looking for a home, and domestic and foreign investors buying vacation product in Puerto Cancún and the Hotel Zone to rent short-term. Because Cancún sits in the restricted zone, foreign buyers need a bank trust.

Cancún sustains one of Mexico's steadiest tourism flows, which supports short-term rental, particularly in Puerto Cancún and the Hotel Zone. The critical point for marketing is projection honesty: publishing yields without disclosing occupancy, platform commission, maintenance and tax assumptions produces leads that collapse on the first serious call and burns out the sales team.
