Property prices have remained weak in Barbados. Last year we found that gross rental yields in Barbados - the return on the cost of buying a property - are not unattractive, at 5.5% for 2-3 bedroom houses in St James. Larger properties yielded less.

This year we were unable to find enough properties to give a reasonable estimate of yields.

The Caribbean as a region levies extremely high taxes on buying and selling properties. If you have money in a visible thing (property), they will get you! By the standards of the region however, buying and selling costs in Barbados are not so very high, and mostly borne by the seller. (See also regional comparson of Barbados´ buying and selling costs)
