The 700-island archipelago seems to be surging, according to a new report from Integra Realty Resources.

The Bahamas saw a 20 percent increase in real estate sales volume last year, according to data from the Bahamas Real Estate Association’s MLS.

That came with a 5 percent increase in the average sales price, according to the report, which was authored by James Andrews.


Last year, sales volume stood at $216.14 million, with an average sale price of $517,086.

Those numbers were up from $180.29 million and $492,585 million, respectively, in 2014.
