October 2015 Market Update

A few years ago the MLS (Multiple Listing System/Cayman Islands Real Estate Brokers Association-CIREBA) members listed the total number of inventory (properties and land) for sale at around 2,200. Today, as at the time of writing (end of September) that figure has decreased dramatically to 1,572. This drop of approximately 30 per cent alone is a huge indicator of how the market has changed in recent years. We have gone from a high amount of inventory to a considerable drop, which will in turn drive up prices further, I believe, as there will be less choice for buyers, inevitably resulting in a sellers market.
