January 2026 Real Estate Highlights

2026 Market Outlook

Cayman’s real estate trends, insights, and investment opportunities.

2025 finished with a BANG: 81 properties sold in December, up from 67 in December 2024. Our market remains solid, with international investor confidence growing sharply — particularly for properties $4M and up.

If you would like sales comps or deeper insight by price point, property type, or location, feel free to reach out. We love nothing better than dissecting the market and sharing information.

Here’s hoping we all have a healthy, happy, productive, and positive 2026. The world needs it!

In 2025 we saw an increase in sales prices and a steady inventory of approximately 1,300–1,400 available properties. As we move through 2026, inventory continues shifting from pre-construction to completed, move-in-ready residences.

With only a handful of new projects in the pipeline — including Mandarin Oriental and Lacovia — the next two years will favor finished homes over pre-sales.

Market overview
Immigration update

The market impact of new immigration policies expected in Q2 2026 remains uncertain. However, demand to live and invest in Cayman remains resilient, with buyers adapting through pricing strategies or income-producing assets.

Land inventory

Of the properties available, over 1,000 are priced at or under CI$2M. More than 60% are residential properties, half of which are pre-construction. Inventory under $1M is dominated by land opportunities.
