Rental yields in the Cayman Islands
Gross yield is a year of the median local rent over the median local asking price. It is a rough guide to how the two markets sit relative to each other, and today the widest gap is in Savannah / Lower Valley at 10.7%. It is not a return: it takes no account of costs, voids, tax or what the place actually sells for.

Geography
Where is the biggest price gap in the Cayman Islands?
The median home in Seven Mile Beach asks $5,175,000; in Cayman Brac East it asks $150,000. Same island, 34.5× the price.
What would make this wrong: It compares what is on the market, not like for like. An area of large houses will always beat an area of flats, whatever the land underneath is worth.

What things cost
Which bedroom costs the most in the Cayman Islands?
Going from 4 bedrooms to 5 adds $2,591,000 to the median asking price — more than any other step on the ladder.
What would make this wrong: A 5-bed house is not a 4-bed house with a room added — it is usually a bigger plot in a different place. This is the price of a different kind of home, not the price of a bedroom.
