A South Florida conference dedicated to Jamaican diaspora property investment drew strong attendance, reflecting growing confidence and organisation among overseas buyers.
Jamaica’s MLS data recorded approximately $100 billion in residential property sales in 2025, with the market showing unusual resilience despite Hurricane Melissa and a contracting economy.
New MLS data shows diaspora buyers account for roughly 70 per cent of major residential development sales, while an apartment oversupply is beginning to soften rental rates.
