According to CLIC Inmobiliaria, Santo Domingo commercial space, Punta Cana and Cabarete lead the Dominican market in gross yields in the first half of 2026.
According to CLIC Inmobiliaria, the Dominican real estate market closed the first half of 2026 with sustained growth in its main markets. The agency bases its analysis on its own scraper covering more than 12,000 active listings, Market Panorama data, AirRoi short-term rental statistics and tax and legal updates. The yields below are gross figures reported by the source. In Distrito Nacional (Santo Domingo), CLIC counts over 4,800 active apartments and an average residential gross yield of about 7%. Entry prices cited are US$180–250K in Piantini, US$150–220K in Naco and US$130–200K in Bella Vista. Commercial space stands out: Bella Vista commercial is reported at 16% gross, Piantini offices at 14.4%, Piantini commercial at 12.7% and Naco commercial at 11.5%. In Punta Cana the source reports 1,359+ active listings and an average yield of 9.7%; Los Corales and Cocotal in Bávaro are cited at 9.1% each. Cap Cana has 220 active listings with a median villa price of US$2.5M. On the North Coast, Cabarete has 2,124 active Airbnb listings, an average daily rate of US$155 and average revenue of US$11,700 per unit per year, with a median villa price of US$430K; Sosúa's median villa is US$350K. On the legal side, CLIC states that the 2026 threshold for the Real Estate Property Tax (IPI) is RD$10,695,494, with 1% applied to the excess. The CONFOTUR regime (Law 158-01) remains active for qualified projects, offering a 15-year exemption from property tax and income tax. Decree 30-25, aimed at regulating Airbnb, was repealed in April 2025, so short-term rentals operate without a dedicated law; the source says 18% ITBIS and 27% income tax apply to declared income. For the second half of 2026, CLIC expects prices in premium Distrito Nacional residential to rise 6–9% year on year and commercial assets to keep outperforming residential on yield. It also expects the Metro Line 2C to boost values once the Los Alcarrizos section opens in 2026–27. These are the source's forecasts, not guarantees; buyers should verify tax and legal details with local professionals.
