What a buyer pays in Mauritius
The $1,200 figure is a national average across all residential property types, which flattens a wide spread — the capital typically runs far above it and small towns far below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 16.2% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $19,440 on top of the $120,000 purchase price. That is above the 9.5% median across the set — the entry cost is part of the investment case here. No market in the set costs more to buy into.
What it earns
Long-term letting returns about 3.2% gross on the purchase price, 67th of 69 markets by gross yield. Measured against local earnings, the price-to-income ratio is 11.6 — that is how many years of an average local income one average home costs, and it says more about who can buy here than any price figure does.
