A real estate boom continues to unfold across Jamaica, fuelled by rising demand from local and overseas buyers, as well as ongoing developments reshaping the property landscape, local experts say.

“We’re seeing the boom right across Jamaica, primarily driven by Kingston and St Andrew, of course, but also the connecting corridors – St Catherine, Clarendon, St Thomas, and then the North Coast has taken off for some time, so all across St Ann, a little bit of St Mary and Montego Bay is hot,” explained Gabrielle Grant Gilpin-Hudson, president of the Realtors’ Association of Jamaica at a recent property-focused webinar dubbed Securing Your Piece of the Rock. The event was organised and hosted by the JN Group,

She said there has been a surge in demand for apartments and standalone units in gated communities, with expansion of the country’s road network and improvements in infrastructure also contributing to the boom. She said how buyers engage with the market depends on their individual goals.
