A Market Recovering from an Extraordinary Event
Q2 2026 was not a typical quarter.
Following Hurricane Melissa in October 2025, Jamaica entered one of the most challenging periods for its real estate and tourism industries in recent history.
Six months later, the market continued to feel the effects of reconstruction, insurance claims, financing delays and reduced visitor arrivals.
This is not a stalled market. This is a market recovering with discipline.
Despite these challenges, more than 500 residential transactions completed during the quarter, demonstrating that buyer demand remains present—but increasingly selective.

Two Markets Moving Together
