Property investment: 11 markets, every figure verified

This section works as a comparison terminal: first the numbers for every country from a single source, then a country guide where ownership, visas and taxes are set out with a cited source. Every point on the map leads to a place where we stand behind the facts.

Market comparison

One table for every market on the platform. The figures come from the nightly catalogue aggregate and are converted to dollars at a dated rate; sorting changes the order of the rows, never the numbers themselves.

The sample column shows how many projects the median is based on. A median drawn from two projects and one drawn from four hundred are claims of very different strength, so the column sits next to the figure instead of hiding in a footnote. An empty cell means the number does not exist, not that it is zero. Rate as of October 14, 2026.

Method

How to read these numbers

Three things without which comparing countries turns into an argument about figures.

Median, not average

An average price is easily dragged away by a single expensive project. We take the median of listed prices across active projects: it shows the middle of the market rather than its tail.

Strength of the sample

Next to every median stands the number of projects it was calculated from. The smaller the sample, the more carefully the figure should be read, so we show it instead of hiding it.

A dated exchange rate

All prices are converted to dollars at a rate taken at a specific moment, and that moment is stated. A week later the figures will move with the rate, and the stamp will move with them.

The comparison currently covers 11 countries and 1,213 active projects; the median per square metre is calculated for 11 countries from a sample of 1,213 projects. Rate as of October 14, 2026. Methodology

Choice axes

What decides the choice of country

Six axes along which markets differ most. The first three are calculated from the catalogue aggregate and move with it; the other three lead to places where the question is answered with a cited source.

Starting budget

The sum at which a conversation in a country begins at all. The threshold comes from the most affordable active project in the catalogue, not from an advertised headline price.

The order and the figures come from the nightly catalogue aggregate. Entry price is the most affordable active project in the country, the median per square metre is converted to dollars at a dated rate.

Market depth

How many active projects we hold in the country right now. Depth decides whether there is anything to choose from within your budget and anything to compare a price against.

FAQ

Questions about this section

Which country should I start with?
Start with the task rather than the country. If the entry price matters, compare that column in the table above. If choice matters, look at the number of active projects. If law and taxes matter, open the country guide first: those questions are answered there with a cited source, and only then does comparing prices make sense.
Where do the numbers in this section come from?
Every market figure comes from one place: the nightly aggregate of our catalogue across active projects. Legal, visa and tax facts live in the country guide, and each carries a footnote number with a publisher and a year. The two layers never mix: a price never comes from written text, and a legal fact is never inferred from a price.
Can a purchase be completed remotely?
In most countries the deal runs on a power of attorney: the property is viewed over video, reserved with a deposit and contracted remotely. Document and money transfer requirements differ by country, and each country guide sets them out.
Does buying property grant residency?
By itself, almost nowhere. Some countries run separate visa programmes with an investment threshold, in others a purchase has nothing to do with a visa. Check the visa block in the country guide: the conditions and the term are named there.
What yield should I put into the calculation?
We do not fill in a rental rate on your behalf. The yield ranges published by market researchers appear in the country guide with a cited source, and our own calculated model exists only where we built it. In the calculator you set the rate yourself, and the result honestly stays silent until you do.
