St. Ann Rental Market: September 2026 Snapshot

Here’s where the St. Ann rental market actually stands as of September 2026, based on 752 rental listings tracked on the MLS since January 2025.

The Numbers

Of the 752 listings on record: 282 Leased, 36 Under Contract, 28 Under Offer, 150 Active, 101 Cancelled, and 155 Expired. Of the 574 that reached a final outcome, 318 leased or went under contract (55.4%) while 256 were Cancelled or Expired (44.6%). Because landlords often relist the same unit, these are listing counts, not unique properties, the Expired group alone includes 34 repeat listings across just 14 addresses.

Asking Rent vs. Lease Price

Among the 280 completed leases with reliable pricing, the median asking rent was JMD $199,076 (US$1,255) against a median lease price of JMD $190,227 (US$1,200). The average lease closed at 98.8% of asking. Most leases (63.2%) closed at the exact asking rent, 27.9% closed below it, and 8.9% closed above it.

Current Active Inventory

The 150 Active rentals carry a median ask of JMD $237,784 (US$1,500), about 25% above the recent median lease price. At the current pace of roughly 17 leases a month, that’s close to 9 months of supply. The range on the market right now runs wide: the lowest current ask is JMD $45,000 (US$285) for a 2-bedroom in Golden Grove, Lydford, and the highest is JMD $2,219,318 (US$14,000) for a 12-bedroom villa at 11 Beach Road, Mammee Bay. The highest completed lease on record was JMD $634,091 (US$4,000), a 9-bedroom property in Bridgewater, Discovery Bay.

The Big Picture

Rent at the right level and it leases at asking, 63% of completed leases closed at the listed rent. The problem in this market isn’t demand, it’s price: listings that failed to lease asked about 19% more on average than listings that leased, and 8 in 10 rentals above JMD $400,000 (US$2,520) failed. The JMD $100,000 to $150,000 (US$630 to US$945) range remains the strongest segment at a 74% lease rate, and Discovery Bay and Drax Hall Estate are the strongest large communities at 62%.

With current asking rents running 25% above recent leases and about 9 months of supply on the market, landlords listing above the going rate should expect a longer wait or a price adjustment ahead.
