What the data says about Dominica
Not opinions — arithmetic. Each of these came out of the registers and the listings themselves, and each links to the page it was computed from so you can check it. 6 of them today.
Geography
Where is the biggest price gap in Dominica?
The median home in Cole Bay, Sint Maarten asks $4,500,000; in Wall House, St George it asks $670. Same island, 6716.4× 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 Dominica?
Going from 1 bedrooms to 2 adds $324,352 to the median asking price — more than any other step on the ladder.
What would make this wrong: A 2-bed house is not a 1-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.

How concentrated is Dominica's market?
Three agents hold 76% of everything advertised — 133, 101, 80 listings out of 412. 9 agents share the rest.
What would make this wrong: It counts adverts, not sales. An agency that lists everything it is asked to and one that sells everything it lists look identical here.

What the same money buys elsewhere
The median Dominica asking price, converted, against other islands' medians.
| Island | Their median | What Dominica money buys |
|---|---|---|
| Samoa | WS$250,000 | 2.2 homes at their median |
Converted at the previous day's reference rates. It compares medians, not like-for-like houses — an island of flats will always look cheap against an island of villas.
