    Lagos townhouses: is 28 days real, or an active-listing illusion?

    For completed sales, I’d record only cases where the outcome can actually be confirmed. Keep unverified removals in an “unknown” category rather than treating them as sold or withdrawn. That will leave fewer observations, but it avoids building the conclusion on guessed outcomes.

    Nairobi villas: is energy performance widening the negotiation gap?

    There is also a directional issue. If the 3.1% comes from active asking prices, it might rise because cheaper stock sold or was withdrawn, not because individual villas appreciated. Ana should identify which population changed before connecting that figure to buyer demand.

    Nairobi villas: is energy performance widening the negotiation gap?

    Completed sales would carry more weight than current advertisements here. Asking prices reveal seller expectations, while the hypothesis concerns what buyers eventually negotiate. Even a small table with original ask, final ask, completed price, days advertised and condition would make the...
