Areas as the listing names them, 24 September 2026. An area appears only with at least five listings from at least two brokerages; Verón, White Sands and Las Canas, and finished units in Pueblo Bávaro, are tracked but come from a single source, so we leave them out. About 330 listings sit in smaller areas or name none; they count only in the bedroom table.
In the 12 months to July 2026, the number of short-term rentals in Punta Cana grew 17.1% while revenue per listing fell 6.5% and nightly rates fell 5.6% (Evalúa market model). Bávaro added 18.4% more rentals. Underwrite at today’s rates. The Punta Cana rental yield page has the current figures.
459 of the 1,138 condo listings are off-plan, and across all sizes they ask $2,621/m² against $2,648 for finished condos. For 1- and 2-bedrooms the lower sticker price mostly buys a smaller unit, not a cheaper square metre, and you carry the delivery risk. Ask for the developer’s delivery record and tie payments to construction milestones.
CONFOTUR’s transfer-tax and property-tax exemptions go to the buyer who purchases from the certified project. They do not pass to a resale buyer. See the CONFOTUR guide before you price one in.
Every number on this page is an asking price. The DR publishes no closing prices, so how far a seller will come down is negotiated case by case. Compare the listing against its area’s median before you offer.
As of 24 September 2026, a finished 1-bedroom condo asks a median $190,000 and a 2-bedroom $290,000, across 679 finished condo listings. Outside Cap Cana, the middle half of 2-bedroom condos ask $165,000–$312,500. These are asking prices, not sale prices.
For finished condos, Bávaro: a median $1,969/m² (95 listings) and a typical asking price of $165,000. For pre-sale, Pueblo Bávaro is lower still at $1,577/m² (12 listings, typically $96,000). Cap Cana is the most expensive at $3,428/m² (210 listings).
Per m², barely: across all sizes, pre-sale condos ask a median $2,621/m² against $2,648 for finished ones (459 and 679 listings). For 1-bedrooms the lower price ($168,000 against $190,000) mostly buys a smaller unit, 64 m² against 70 m². The exception is large units: pre-sale 3+ bedrooms ask $2,333/m² against $2,805 finished. Either way you carry the construction risk.
