Five groups on one island: beachfront, oceanfront, plain waterfront, the salinas through the middle of the island, and the inland lots that make up most of the record.
The four sets come from the MLS frontage exports, beachfront parcels, oceanfront and waterfront or salina, keyed in by MLS number and applied at parcel level. The exports overlap heavily, so each parcel takes the highest it qualifies for: beach over ocean, ocean over waterfront, waterfront over salina.
The split is stark. Water frontage of some kind is of the recorded sales and of the money that has changed hands here.
Hover or tap a group for its highest and lowest transactions, the rate range, days on market and how often the full asking price was paid

Frontage on the MLS is written by whoever filed the listing. If your parcel belongs on the beachfront, oceanfront or waterfront list and is not described that way, that gap is costing you on every comparison a buyer runs. Send the parcel number and I will tell you where it actually sits.
Lens three
Strip out everything except the highest rate paid in each year. The two highest points are both Duke Street in Cockburn Town.

Twenty six registration sections, grouped here into the five districts the MLS uses. Hover or tap a district for what it has actually done and its mix of beach, ocean, salina and inland.

Smaller than people expect. of the Grand Turk sales that carry a lot area are half an acre or under. At Long Bay that figure is 17 per cent and at Turtle Tail 16. This corner was subdivided tight and never re-cut, which is why the rates per square foot look high here while the entry prices stay within reach.

The usual rule is that rate per square foot falls as parcels get bigger, because every buildable parcel carries the same fixed floor underneath it: a road frontage, a utility connection, a registered title and permission to build. Spread that floor over less land and the rate multiplies. At Grand Turk the interior follows that rule closely.
Water still breaks it at the top: the best beach parcels carry the highest rates despite being ordinary in size. Hover or tap each band for its mix of beach, ocean, salina and inland.
Hover or tap a band for its mix of beach, ocean, salina and inland, because size and frontage are tangled together here
Establish which of the five groups a parcel sits in before comparing it to anything else. Beachfront, oceanfront, waterfront, salina and inland all price differently here.
A waterfront rate quoted without naming the water is not a comparable. Beachfront reaches $50.43 a square foot and oceanfront $7.28, so the two are not interchangeable.

Both prices are on the record for all Grand Turk sales, so the gap between them is measurable rather than anecdotal. of them were paid at the full asking price or above, which is a harder market for sellers than the headline prices suggest.

Hover or tap any listing for its size, whether it is beach, ocean, salina or inland, its days on market, its stamp duty and what the parcel last sold for
Days on market and asking prices are as recorded on the MLS at the date of export, and include conditional and pending listings, which are marked. I can represent you on any parcel here, whoever holds the listing, at no cost to you.

Stamp duty is the largest cost on top of the price in the Turks and Caicos. It is paid by the buyer and charged on the whole value rather than the slice above each threshold. Grand Turk sits on a lower band than Providenciales.
Charged on transfer and paid by the buyer. The rates and concessions change, so confirm the current figure with your attorney before you offer rather than working from any published table.
Ordinarily around one per cent of the purchase price, plus disbursements. On the smaller transactions common here that percentage often gives way to a minimum fee, so ask for the quote in dollars rather than per cent.
There is no annual property tax in the Turks and Caicos. Government takes its share once, at the transfer. The carrying cost of holding land on Grand Turk is close to nil once the duty is paid, which is part of why so many parcels here sit unbuilt.
Lens nine
This export contains matched pairs where the same Grand Turk parcel sold twice or more, of them on water. That is the closest thing to a like for like return series that exists here, because it removes the question of whether one parcel is comparable to another.
