Real Estate in Grenada
Byer's guide
Who can buy a property in Grenada
Grenada allows citizens, residents and foreigners to buy any property in the country. However, foreigners must obtain a special licence to own land. The cost of the licence is 10% of the land plot price.
Foreigners who participate in the Grenada Citizenship program are exempt from purchasing a Land Holding Licence.
Property values by region of Grenada
Grenada’s real estate market is stimulated by the Citizenship by Investment program. The government does not publish real estate price statistics. But a cost analysis of the island real estate allows us to conclude that prices per 1 m² of housing start at $1,000.
The cost per 1 m² of modern comfortable real estate starts from $2,500 and grows by 4% per year on average. The most expensive properties are located in the capital of St Georges, as well as in the resorts of Guyave, Grenville, and St Davis. Prices for seafront and oceanfront villas reach millions of dollars.
Property purchase procedure in Grenada
Property in Grenada can be chosen remotely. After that, the buyer enters a preliminary purchase and sale agreement with the seller and deposits 10% of the object’s value. The deposit is usually kept in an escrow account.
Foreigners who are not a part of the Grenada Citizenship program receive a special Land Holding Licence. The parties then sign the main purchase and sale contract and pay the associated taxes and fees. The certificate of ownership is issued by the state registry of the country.
