As 2025 came to a close, the Bahamas real estate market shifted into a more selective, strategy-driven environment across Nassau & Paradise Island, Abaco, Eleuthera, Exuma, and Grand Bahama. Inventory generally increased in key markets, while buyer activity cooled compared to Q3 — a healthy sign of normalization after several fast-paced quarters.



In Nassau & Paradise Island, inventory grew and prices remained elevated, especially in the core and luxury segments, even as buyers became more deliberate. Abaco and Eleuthera both saw renewed listing activity and notable high-end closings that lifted average prices, though overall transaction volume slowed and marketing times lengthened. Exuma continued to see high prices and limited depth in transactions, with well-priced homes still moving while negotiations became more common. Grand Bahama leaned more value-driven, with softer pricing and slower pace, but steady closings and improving land interest showing underlying stability.



Across the islands, homes generally outperformed land, where longer days on market and more negotiation became the norm. Still, sellers in most markets continued to achieve strong results relative to asking prices, and buyers gained more room to be selective and strategic.



The takeaway for Q4 is clear: this is a more balanced, opportunity-rich market — one that rewards smart pricing, strong presentation, and informed guidance. Whether buying or selling, today’s conditions favor those who understand the nuances of each island and act with the right strategy.
