Market Activity

The market is showing renewed activity after the summer slowdown.

  • High-end properties continue to move steadily and have remained strong throughout 2025.

  • The middle market ($1M–$3M) has been slower this year but is showing signs of improvement.

  • Properties under $1M—as always—move quickly when priced fairly.

Savvy buyers, global economic uncertainty, and a sensitive local market have created an interesting landscape these last few months. With approximately 1,350 active listings, December will be one to watch.

Looking Ahead 2026

New Minimum Wage Effective January 1, 2026

Starting January 1, 2026, the minimum wage in the Cayman Islands will increase to CI$8.75 per hour.

What This Could Mean

The impact of this change is widely debated:

  • Supporters believe it will help lower-paid employees better manage Cayman’s rising cost of living.

  • Some employers worry it may discourage work permit holders due to higher associated costs.

  • Others predict a general increase in prices as businesses adjust to offset the higher wage.

Our Perspective

Only time will tell. The full effect on the local economy and cost of living will become clearer once the changes take effect.

 

For those living, working, or investing in Cayman, it’s important to watch these developments closely—changes in wages and operating costs can influence housing demand, rental values, and the broader real estate market.
