Episode Highlights

Cabo may look like a developed luxury destination—but according to Barrie Livingstone, it's still in its early stages of transformation. In this studio episode of the Ironbird Podcast, host Daniel Harris sits down with Barrie to discuss the hidden dynamics behind Cabo’s explosive growth, the rise of legacy properties, and how high-net-worth travelers are building generational homes at the edge of the Baja Peninsula.

What’s inside this episode?

  • Why Cabo feels like the “Aspen of Mexico”—and why that’s just the beginning

  • The difference between Cabo San Lucas and San José del Cabo (and why it matters)

  • What defines a legacy property—and how families are buying for the next generation

  • The top luxury neighborhoods: Palmilla, Querencia, Chileno, Maravilla, and more

  • What makes real estate in Cabo unique—and why privacy, climate, and lifestyle matter

  • Why developers are racing to build—and how the lack of infrastructure is still a challenge

Whether you’re a real estate investor, a jetsetter looking for a second home, or just fascinated by the evolution of luxury destinations, this episode offers an unfiltered look at the movement shaping modern Cabo.
