Turks & Caicos Real Estate Market Report – 2nd Quarter 2013

MarketReport2ndQ2013After a tepid start to the year, Turks & Caicos had a strong second quarter to finish the first half of the year up 16.9%  in dollar volume over last year. This increase is mostly based on the 16.5M Grace Bay beach transaction to the same Venezuelan hotel developer (Desarrollos Hotelco Turks & Caicos Ltd. (DHTCI)), behind the JW Marriot project to the west of Seven Stars. In addition, the July 1st increase in stamp duty fueled a number of deals into late June closings.

Turks & Caicos Real Estate 2011 Market Report

Turks & Caicos enjoyed a strong bounce back year in 2011, after struggling along a murky market bottom in 2009 and 2010.  The resurgence was led by the following factors:

  • Booming tourism, up circa 18%, led by excellent air service
  • Stabling government and local economy
  • Better price value in the market
  • Excellent inventory
  • Drastically increased sales activity in all market sectors
  • Inventory is down for the first time since 2008

The home/villa market nearly tripled in $ sales volume, and almost doubled in average price, led by the sale of Serendib Villa at $10.5M and La Dolce Vita at $6.25M (which was sold by our own Nina Seigenthaler).  There was strength throughout this sector as buyers re-emerged and sellers lowered prices to market levels.  We welcome you to view our Market Graphs by clicking in the links “Inside this isssue:” in our Market Report.
