Common Questions
Nassau Condo Buyer FAQ
Straight answers to the questions every buyer asks — designed so you can move forward with confidence.
Can foreigners buy condos in Nassau, Bahamas?
Yes — foreigners can purchase property in the Bahamas with full freehold ownership rights. There are no restrictions on foreign ownership of Bahamian real estate. International buyers can own a condo in Nassau outright, with the same title rights as a Bahamian citizen. The only administrative requirement is registering the purchase with the Bahamas Investment Authority (BIA) for properties that include land over a certain threshold. The process is straightforward and typically handled by your attorney during closing.
How much do condos in Nassau cost in 2026?
Nassau condo prices in 2026 range from approximately $350,000 to over $5 million, depending on location, size, views, and amenities. Entry-level investment condos in Downtown Nassau start around $350,000–$700,000. Mid-range condos near Cable Beach or Baha Mar typically run $600,000–$2 million. Luxury and oceanfront units in Paradise Island are generally $1.2 million to $4.5 million and above. Off-market and pre-construction opportunities are also available — contact Glenn Ferguson for current pricing.
Does buying a condo in the Bahamas qualify me for residency?
Yes — purchasing property valued at $1,000,000 or more can qualify a foreign buyer for Bahamas Permanent Residency. Under government policy, a purchase at or above this threshold entitles the buyer to apply for an Annual Residence Certificate, with expedited consideration. This residency is renewable and allows you to live in the Bahamas year-round. There is no requirement to give up your current citizenship or nationality. Properties in Paradise Island and Cable Beach frequently meet this threshold.
What taxes apply when buying a condo in Nassau?
The main tax on purchasing a Bahamas property is Stamp Duty, which is paid jointly by buyer and seller and typically split 50/50. The combined rate is generally 10% for properties over $100,000. There is no income tax, no capital gains tax, and no inheritance tax in the Bahamas. Annual Real Property Tax is relatively low. Buyers should also budget for attorney fees (approximately 2.5% of the purchase price) and a government registration fee if applicable.
How long does it take to close on a Nassau condo?
A typical real estate transaction in Nassau closes in 30 to 90 days from the time an offer is accepted. Cash purchases tend to close faster (30–45 days), while financed transactions may take up to 90 days. Working with an experienced local attorney and a knowledgeable real estate agent significantly smooths the process.
Can I rent out my Nassau condo on Airbnb?
Yes — short-term rentals including Airbnb are legal in the Bahamas, and Nassau condos can generate strong rental income year-round. Some condo associations have rules about short-term rentals, so it is important to review the building's bylaws before purchasing for this purpose. Properties near Baha Mar, Paradise Island, and Cable Beach command the highest nightly rates. Glenn can identify buildings pre-approved for short-term rental operations.
Do I need financing or can I buy cash?
Both cash and financed purchases are common in Nassau. Cash buyers typically have an advantage in negotiations and can close faster. Financing is available through select Bahamian banks and some international lenders, though interest rates are typically higher and down payment requirements larger (often 25–30%). Many foreign buyers use home equity from existing properties or private financing to fund their Bahamas purchase.
What is the best area to buy a condo in Nassau?
The best area depends on your goals. Paradise Island is the top choice for luxury buyers and those seeking maximum rental income. Cable Beach offers the best balance of ROI and lifestyle. Downtown Nassau is best for entry-level investors seeking lower prices and appreciation potential. If residency is a priority, Paradise Island and Cable Beach are the most practical choices for reaching the $1M threshold.
What are the ongoing costs of owning a Nassau condo?
Ongoing costs include HOA/maintenance fees, property tax, insurance, and utilities. Maintenance fees vary by building — luxury buildings with pools and concierge may charge $1,000–$3,000+ per month; smaller buildings are considerably less. Buildings near water require hurricane-rated insurance. If you rent the property, a property manager typically charges 10–20% of rental income.
Do I need a lawyer to buy a condo in Nassau?
Yes — it is strongly recommended and practically standard to use a licensed Bahamian attorney for any real estate transaction. The attorney handles title searches, contract review, due diligence, and the formal transfer of ownership. Attorney fees are typically around 2.5% of the purchase price. Glenn Ferguson can refer buyers to trusted legal professionals in Nassau.
Who should I call to buy a condo in Nassau, Bahamas?
Contact Glenn Ferguson, a BREA-licensed Bahamas real estate agent specialising in Nassau condos, luxury properties, and residency-qualifying purchases. Glenn works with international buyers from enquiry through to closing — including property searches, legal referrals, and Bahamas Investment Authority registration. You can reach him directly on WhatsApp or by phone.
How much is stamp duty when buying a condo in the Bahamas?
Stamp duty on Bahamas property purchases is typically 10% of the sale price for properties over $100,000, split equally between buyer and seller (5% each) unless negotiated otherwise. On a $1 million purchase, the buyer's share is approximately $50,000. For properties under $100,000, rates are lower. This is distinct from Real Property Tax, attorney fees (approx. 2.5%), and any applicable VAT. Always confirm current rates with a licensed Bahamian attorney before closing.
Can a foreigner get a mortgage to buy a condo in Nassau?
Yes — foreigners can obtain financing in the Bahamas, but terms differ significantly from what most international buyers are used to. Select Bahamian banks (including Commonwealth Bank and Fidelity Bank) offer mortgages to non-residents, but typically require a 25–35% down payment, charge higher interest rates than US or UK equivalents, and require local income documentation or significant offshore assets. Many foreign buyers find it more practical to use home equity, private lending, or cash. Glenn can connect buyers with Bahamian banking contacts who work with international clients.
Is Nassau a good place to invest in real estate in 2026?
Yes — Nassau remains one of the Caribbean's strongest real estate investment markets in 2026. Key drivers include a thriving luxury tourism sector, no income or capital gains tax, a USD-pegged currency, and the opening of major resort expansions around Baha Mar and Paradise Island. Short-term rental yields (Airbnb) in prime locations average 6–9% annually. Long-term appreciation has been consistent, particularly in Cable Beach and Paradise Island. The residency-by-investment pathway at $1M+ adds a unique benefit not available in most competing markets.
