The Dominican Republic's real estate market continues its remarkable growth trajectory, with foreign investment reaching an all-time high in 2025. According to the Central Bank, real estate FDI grew 22% year-over-year, with Punta Cana and Cap Cana leading the charge.

Key drivers include the CONFOTUR tax exemption program, which offers up to 15 years of property tax exemption for qualifying developments, and the country's stable economic growth averaging 5% GDP annually.

North American buyers represent the largest foreign buyer segment at 45%, followed by Europeans at 28% and South Americans at 15%. The average transaction value for foreign buyers has risen to $385,000 USD, a 12% increase from 2024.
