Our monthly Bahamas Real Estate Market Report provides meaningful and valuable information to empower buyers and sellers who are considering a real estate transaction in New Providence (Nassau).

If you're considering selling your property or buying property in The Bahamas, it's essential to understand what's happening in The Bahamas' real estate market. Knowing the most important data, such as median and average prices, the number of properties sold, the number of new listings, and the days on the market will better prepare you for selling or buying.

We are happy to share our August 2023 analysis of the New Providence market. We also encourage you to review our quarterly market reports that include Abaco, Eleuthera, Exuma, Grand Bahama and New Providence.

Our market reports provide Morley's interpretation of the data from the Bahamas Real Estate Association MLS. Even though the MLS does not include all real estate sales and related real estate data, we believe the MLS data is reasonable and consistent to be reliable to use to estimate local real estate trends.
