What the data says about Mauritius
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. 5 of them today.
Geography
Where is the biggest price gap in Mauritius?
The median home in Beau asks Rs 136,751,513; in Pointe aux Canonniers it asks Rs 475,000. Same island, 287.9× 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 Mauritius?
Going from 2 bedrooms to 3 adds Rs 2,552,921 to the median asking price — more than any other step on the ladder.
What would make this wrong: A 3-bed house is not a 2-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.

What things cost
Where does a square metre cost most in Mauritius?
St Antoine asks Rs 172,436 per m²; Pereybère asks Rs 4,885. The same 100 m² flat differs by Rs 16,755,100 depending only on where it stands.
What would make this wrong: Only the listings whose agent published a floor area are in this, and agents measure differently. Condition and outside space are not in it at all.

The market
How concentrated is Mauritius's market?
Three agents hold 70% of everything advertised — 661, 653, 473 listings out of 2,547. 11 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 Mauritius asking price, converted, against other islands' medians.
| Island | Their median | What Mauritius money buys |
|---|---|---|
| Samoa | WS$250,000 | 5.8 homes at their median |
| Dominica | $204,597 | 2.6 homes at their median |
| Bahrain | BD 90,000 | 2.2 homes at their median |
| Belize | $249,000 | 2.1 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.
