Methodology
Figures are medians of asking prices of active for-sale listings in the Go Dominican Life property database as of October 2026. Asking prices are not sale prices and listings are counted once. Each listing is counted in one city only. The Sosúa tag includes listings in the Playa Encuentro area. Medians for groups with few listings (for example 7 villas in Cabarete) are indicative.
