TCI has enjoyed a 99 % increase in its Single Family Home & Villa Market ‘Dollar Volume Sales’ 2014 year to date over the same period in 2013.

Single Family Home & Villa Market continues to lead through the 3rd Quarter of 2014.

We have experienced a 13% increase in condo sales for the same period 2013.

86% of sales in this category are above $1M Average Days on the Market: 368

Both Single Family Homes/Villas and Condos in the $1M + range continue to do well, with homes and villas leading the way with a very strong increase. Highlighted by the sale by this firm of the luxurious Saadet Beachfront Estate Home, and done so in a record three month listing period. Condos, whilst not as strong as Homes/Villas, show continued growth, something that is expected given the significant increases seen year on year from 2009.

Whilst the ‘Undeveloped Land’ sector appears to have dipped in Q3, its important to note that in 2013, several high value Commercial (Hotel/Tourism) Beachfront parcels sold. As a result, the market inflated significantly, giving an overall appearance of high dollar volume sales for the entire category.

Cumulative Summary

When these high value parcels are removed from the equation, we can see that sales defined as single unit properties remain steady, with no major fluctuation either way.

!

We noted in our last report that 2013 enjoyed some of the islands most significant Commercial Hotel/Tourism Zoned sales seen in many years. With Regency Christie’s International Real Estate introducing several overseas developers to the Turks and Caicos Islands, with new projects being planed through 2014/2015.

Since this time we have progressed significantly, providing valuable input to the developers we have introduced. Imparting a great deal of critical information from historical sales data, sales projections, the increase in tourist numbers and potential new flights planed for the Turks and Caicos Islands. All of these aspects help us move the product and “Brand’ that is the Turks and Caicos Islands forward and into a new development phase.

!

Also worth noting in this section of the report is the recent amendment to the Development Manual, with immediate effect, an increase in the maximum building height to 12 stores per 5 acre plot. This is a significant change and one that will require a more in-depth understanding once the facts have been circulated and understood. The last time the Development Manual was amended in such a way was some 10 years ago, when the building height increased to seven stores to accommodate the Seven Stars Development.

!

We understand the need to attract new development and look forward to reviewing the full document when available.

The Condo/Resort market in the Turks and Caicos Islands remains one of the most important sectors of the real estate market. Whilst not as robust through the third quarter as the Home/Villa Market, it certainly shows steady, consistent growth year on year.

!

We can see from our sales statistics for the 3rd Quarter of 2014, there has been an almost 30% reduction in new listings entering the market and a 20% increase in units sold, with an accompanying dollar value increase of 13%.

Another important factor worth pointing out is the reduction in days on the market from 364 to 323, a 11.31% decrease. Whilst minimal, any acceleration in sales process certainly shows an increased demand for well priced properties. We certainly hope that as we proceed through the 4th Quarter of 2014, and what is our ‘busy season’ in the real estate industry, this trend will continue, along with increases in unit and dollar volume of sales.

Given that our jurisdiction is a predominately high value destination, it is important to include information that shows sales for properties in each sector that are at or above the $1M range.
