Determining Fair Market Value: Caribbean Valuation & Price-Per-Sq-Meter

Overpricing a property causes extended market exposure, while underpricing forfeits rightful equity.

Valuation Pillars in the French Antilles

1. Micro-Location & Sea Horizon: An unobstructed ocean view commands a 20-35% premium over equivalent inland parcels.
2. Structural Grade & Coastal Exposure: Hurricane-rated concrete construction, cistern capacity, and resistance to marine salt air heavily influence valuation.
3. Historical Notary Records (DVF Database): Relying on registered notary transaction prices rather than speculative portal asking prices.

Objective valuation accelerates sales and maximizes lender financing approvals.
