Our Cayman Islands rental yields data this year covers condominiums (only). Reasonably attractive yields can be earned, varying from 3.8% at the unattractive end, to 8.5% on better-performing condominiums, which in our view are smallish condominiums outside 7 Mile Beach.

Our rentals information is however sketchy, because so many lets are short-term. We therefore used projected/expected incomes in our computation, which means that the rental yield figure is much less reliable, than it would be if we used on advertised prices and rentals.

Sale prices. Our best estimate is that sale prices have moved little since 2005. There appears to have been an upward blip in 2006/7, but that has been followed by a downward movement in prices during 2008.
