Regency-Christie’s International Real Estate Turks and Caicos Islands Real Estate Market Report for the Turks and Caicos Islands
“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest” -Benjamin Franklin It has always been our goal at Regency-Christie’s International Real Estate to provide our clients with the information needed to make wellinformed decisions. Be they looking to purchase a stunning island property or sell their existing home or condo, we can help them pursue their next dream. We fully appreciate that the Turks and Caicos Islands not only represents a very different market from what most are used to but also a different process as it relates to ownership. As such, it’s our job to guide and advise our clients through each step, allowing them to reach their goals and dreams with minimum effort. One of the key factors in the initial stage is becoming familiar with our market and how it performs. Most will find it very different, yet once this report has been provided, much becomes clear and extremely easy.
01
Year In Review
2018 It’s evident to all familiar with the Caribbean that 2017 offered our islands, and many others, significant challenges. With a very active 2017 hurricane season, bringing with it two storms of the likes never seen by the Islands’ residents, many were left concerned that the aftermath would result in a decline in both tourism and real estate sectors. As you will see in this report, these fears were not realized, with some sectors of the real estate market showing gains over the preceding year and tourism appearing to be very strong even late into the season. Due to this robust tourism market and the increased activity created by several new developments, one can certainly be persuaded that the Turks and Caicos Islands is experiencing a vital and very exciting period. Nothing highlights this more than the outstanding success achieved through the tremendous volume of sales at the new Ritz Residences on Grace Bay where, at the time of writing this report, only three units remain available from the current inventory. From its inception, this development has been under the stewardship of Regency-Christie’s International Real Estate, thus exposing the stunning Ritz, Turks and Caicos product to the world. From such milestones as this, the TCI is now experiencing a dramatic increase in developer interest. Many now view the Turks and Caicos Islands as one of the most desirable countries in the jurisdiction, one that, in most cases, out performs most other countries in the region.

2018 And none of this is by chance. The Turks and Caicos Islands offers an amazing mix of attractive real estate, high quality services and amenities, and, of course, the perfect Caribbean lifestyle. When combined with the myriad of additional benefits too numerous to mention in this report, these attributes make the TCI a very smart and clear choice. The initiation of construction on the Ritz’s Grace Bay project has done much to encourage developers in the area. With the Ritz team has wasted no time in getting to work and making good on their promise to hit their own targets on schedule. In several discussions with such developers, they believe this to be the beginning of a new development phase for the Islands, seeing the globally respected and trusted Ritz brand as a landmark project for the TCI. As such, and on this new landscape, many are actively pursuing development opportunities of their own, taking into account the many benefits provided by the TCI, something not found in other countries in the region. With this forward momentum will come new opportunities: the ability to expand the real estate market, increase inventory and choices, widen the variety of developments, open up new locations, enjoy new styles and embrace new price points. Certainly a positive outlook!

Current Status
2018 What follows in this section of the report is a graphic depiction of how Q2-2018 has performed over the same period in previous years. We have carefully gathered information provided us through the Turks and Caicos Real Estate Association MLS (Multiple Listing Service), an organization with membership from all of the Islands’ major real estate firms. The MLS system records critical sales data in real time, allowing us to report on sales volumes in all sectors of the market, regardless of the individual brokerage. As such, this provides a complete and unfiltered, high-level view of the market, a critical factor for those who are looking either to purchase a property in the Islands or to sell their existing one and upgrade or move to another location on island. Our quarterly reports have become an important element for clients’ continued understanding of the market and, in turn, a resource that has allowed them to make well-educated and informed decisions about their real estate needs and desires.
Kindest Regards, Robert Greenwood Broker/Partner

Where Do We Go From Here ?

As mentioned on numerous occasions, the Turks and Caicos Islands real estate market has received significant stimulation through the many new projects coming to market. With more projects in the pipeline, this energy and excitement will continue to grow, offering a wide variety of luxury real estate to satisfy today’s high demand. We can also expect to see some diversification in highend luxury real estate as well as mid- range, something we are now experiencing through well-thought-out projects such as the Granvia, which offers beautifully designed mid-range properties that are just minutes’ walk from worldfamous Grace Bay Beach.
