Home sizes and categories
Our database does not classify Nassau listings consistently by property type, so use the bedroom split as a guide: three-bedroom homes (170) and two-bedroom homes (139) are the biggest groups, followed by five-plus bedrooms (93), four bedrooms (82) and one bedroom (60). Larger houses and villas tend to sit on gated or waterfront plots, while apartments and condos cluster near Cable Beach and Paradise Island.
Use the category pages for houses, apartments, land and commercial property to see how the whole country compares, or look at cheaper Bahamas listings for lower-priced entry points.

Areas of Nassau and New Providence
Nassau is the capital and main city of the island of New Providence. Paradise Island, connected by bridge, has Atlantis and the Ocean Club Estates, a luxury enclave of private homes. Cable Beach is a resort and condominium strip west of downtown, and further west are gated communities like Lyford Cay, one of the most exclusive addresses in the Caribbean. Eastern Road and Old Fort Bay offer coastal residential streets, and Sandyport is a canal-side townhouse development popular with expatriates.
The Lynden Pindling International Airport has direct flights to Miami, New York, Toronto and London. Buyers are second-home owners from North America and the UK, entrepreneurs who relocate for the tax regime, and investors in short-term rentals. Hurricane risk is the key physical hazard: ask about roof ratings, shutters, generators and the property's elevation.
Taxes, rules and residency
Foreigners can buy most freehold property without permission, though purchases of five acres or more, or of more than two lots within certain development areas, generally require approval from the Bahamas Investments Authority. The Central Bank may require registration of foreign currency inflows. Because rules are updated, confirm everything with a Bahamian attorney.
Costs to plan for:
- Stamp duty: around 10% on property above B$100,000 (the Bahamian dollar is pegged one to one to the US dollar), usually split or negotiated between buyer and seller.
- Legal fees: commonly 2.5% to 5% of the price.
- Annual real property tax: a graduated percentage of assessed value, lower for owner-occupied homes and higher for second homes.
- No personal income tax, capital gains tax or inheritance tax.
Property purchasers can apply for a homeowner's resident card, and higher-value purchases may qualify for permanent residency. Read our Bahamas buying guide and the financing guide; local banks lend to foreigners, often at 20-30% down.
Neighbouring islands and markets
Within the archipelago, look at New Providence and Paradise Island, Grand Bahama and Freeport, Abaco, Eleuthera, Exuma and Long Island. Island properties are typically cheaper but harder to finance and insure. The Bahamas country page gives the wider picture.
Nassau sells lifestyle and tax efficiency, not bargains: budget for stamp duty, hurricane insurance and import costs on top of the sticker price.

Buying property in Nassau: FAQ
Can foreigners buy property in Nassau?
Yes. Non-Bahamians can own freehold property in the Bahamas. Larger purchases, such as five acres or more, require approval, and foreign currency inflows are normally registered with the Central Bank. Always use a Bahamian attorney.
What is stamp duty in the Bahamas?
Stamp duty on conveyances is high for properties above B$100,000, around 10% in the bands we are aware of. The parties can agree who pays, and the amount may change, so confirm the current rate.
Is there tax on rental income or sale profits?
The Bahamas has no personal income tax or capital gains tax. Business licence fees and VAT can apply to short-term rental operators, so register properly if you rent.
How much does a house in Nassau cost?
The median asking price in our listings is €452,798 and half of listings fall between €138,566 and €826,927. Prices quoted locally may be in Bahamian or US dollars, which are pegged.
Can I get residency by buying property?
Property ownership can support a resident card, and higher-value purchases may allow applications for permanent residence. Thresholds and conditions change, so check with the Department of Immigration or your attorney.
