Puerto Rico’s housing sector in 2025 is defined by surging property values, high construction costs, and rising investor interest—from both local residents and mainland buyers. As of this year, the island’s real estate market is valued at approximately US $346.11 billion, with residential transactions contributing around US $265.54 billion. Analysts forecast a 3.01% compound annual growth rate, potentially growing the market to US $389.68 billion by 2029.Instagram+4beyondcommercialgroup.com+4Christie's Puerto Rico+4
