According to CLIC Inmobiliaria, the median price per square meter for apartments in the Dominican Republic varies 3.6-fold between the most and least expensive major markets.
According to CLIC Inmobiliaria, which analyzed median prices per square meter across Dominican markets with significant inventory (March 2026), the spread between cities is very wide. Cap Cana is the most expensive at US$3,251/m² (median price US$375,000, 510 units), followed by Punta Cana at US$2,366/m² (2,601 units), Las Terrenas at US$2,282/m² and Bávaro at US$2,083/m². At the other end, Boca Chica stands at US$1,479/m², Santo Domingo Este at roughly US$1,000–1,500/m², and Santo Domingo Norte at about US$900/m² with a median price of US$89,000. In the capital's Distrito Nacional, the median is US$1,976/m² (median price US$245,000, 12,804 units listed). Within it, the report shows a gap of about 46% between sectors: from US$1,843/m² in Gazcue to US$2,685/m² on Av. Anacaona. Piantini is cited at US$2,462/m², Bella Vista at US$2,037/m² and Evaristo Morales at US$1,951/m². Santiago, the country's second city, is listed at roughly US$1,700–1,800/m² with a median price of US$182,000, with sector values ranging from about US$1,300/m² in Los Álamos to US$2,277/m² in La Esmeralda. Tourist areas in the east are priced higher still: the report cites Juanillo in Cap Cana at US$4,268/m², Los Corales in Bávaro at about US$2,809–3,054/m² and Downtown Punta Cana at US$2,507/m². In Santo Domingo Este, values range from about US$860/m² in Ciudad Juan Bosch to US$1,941/m² on Av. España. The author notes that price per m² can differ from the total price because of apartment size: sectors with large units may show a lower m² price despite a higher overall ticket, while tourist condos tend to be smaller. The figures are based on apartments listed for sale with a registered area above 10 m², with the m² price calculated as median price divided by median area per sector. These are listing-based market indicators, not a valuation of any specific property.
