How these numbers are made
Prices are agencies' asking prices, converted to pesos at an indicative MX$18.50 per US$1. We exclude prices outside plausible bands for each type (rentals, errors and inflated feed values); the median and quartiles are resistant to those cases. These are not appraisals and not legal or tax advice; confirm everything with your notario público.
