2023 Caribbean Report by Savills
Savills’ 2023 Caribbean Report looks at prime residential property across a region with different islands, buyer markets and development patterns. This article keeps the report in its 2022/23 period and presents a practical way to read it. The report is useful as dated market research; it is not a current valuation, forecast or substitute for island-specific due diligence.
What the 2023 report covers
The report links demand for space and lifestyle with the practical questions that shape prime residential property: access, amenities, quality of stock, ownership arrangements and the way a home may be used. It also separates different island markets rather than treating the Caribbean as one uniform location.
Read each observation with its date and geography attached. A statement about a particular island, property type or development pipeline should not be generalized to a neighboring market. Before using an observation with a client, obtain current local information and confirm legal, tax, insurance, rental and operating conditions with the appropriate professionals.
Market outlook themes in the report
Slower price growth
The report describes a market where finite prime locations and broader economic conditions pull in different directions. Location, access and the quality of a home remain central to how a buyer evaluates a property. Use the report’s island-level material rather than treating the theme as a universal price prediction.
Changing use and longer stays
The report connects the period’s interest in open space, wellness and remote or hybrid work with second-home decisions. Those preferences can change as travel and work patterns change. Keep the report’s observation as historical context and ask what the intended owner actually needs from the home, its location and its services.
New high-quality supply
Savills discusses new and branded residential supply as a way the region’s stock could evolve. A pipeline mention is not a delivered project. Check the project’s current status, approvals, developer information, service agreements, fees and completion evidence before presenting it as available or comparable.
Rental demand and operating reality
The report also considers rental activity as tourism recovered during its publication period. Rental performance depends on seasonality, local rules, management, insurance, maintenance, taxes and the property’s actual condition. A historical report can frame the questions; it cannot establish a return for a particular home.
Read the source document

A parting thought
The report is most useful when it sharpens a market conversation. Keep the date visible, identify the island and property type behind each observation and turn any promising theme into a current, evidence-based question.
