For-sale listings from island agencies, priced against the Airbnb calendars around them, on one cost stack you can read.
Read the full methodology·Market intelligence·Compare properties
1. Weekly agency crawl
Listings are read from agencies on Curaçao, Aruba and Bonaire every week — prices in euros or guilders converted to dollars at the pegged rates — and plots, commercial units and sold homes are filtered out.
2. Airbnb comparables
Each listing is priced against the actively-rented Airbnbs nearby: measured occupancy from daily calendar reads, nightly rates as the hosts advertise them.
3. Net on the all-in cost
One fully-managed cost stack — management, cleaning and running costs, plus each island's own property and income tax — over the asking price plus that island's transfer tax, notary, legal and furnishing. The same figure on every card, area and page.
What you are looking at, and what you are not
- The smallest Brixfox catalogue. It is re-read from the agencies weekly, not daily, and a listing can stay on the site for a while after it sells. Check the agency page before you act on a price.
- Prices are shown in US dollars. Many listings are quoted in euros or Dutch-Caribbean guilders (ANG / XCG, pegged at 1.79 per dollar); those are converted, so the dollar figure of a euro listing moves with the euro.
- Net yield is a model: comparable Airbnb calendars within a few kilometres, one blended fully-managed operating-cost ratio, and each island's own transfer-tax, property-tax and income-tax rules on the all-in acquisition cost. Airbnb history on these islands is one summer. No listing here is presented as licensed for short-term rental — each island sets its own registration and tourist-tax rules, and we hold no register for any of them.
- On Bonaire, short-stay letting (stays of up to three months) is allowed only where the plot’s zoning in the island’s spatial plan permits it, and not in residential zones, which the island has enforced since May 2024. Check the zone of any Bonaire home before you buy.
- Tenure is what each listing states, and many state none — verify eigendom (freehold) vs erfpacht with the notary. A listing on long-lease or government lease land (erfpacht, pachtgrond) is marked leasehold; the term is not modelled as a wasting asset.
- Building plots, commercial units and listings whose own text says sold or under contract are excluded from the catalogue and from every figure on this page.

Days listed count from the first time our crawl saw a listing, not from the day it was put on the market, so a listing already for sale before we tracked it is under-counted.
Dates are when our crawl detected the change, not when a sale was agreed.
