A simple table would help: first-seen date, last-seen date, initial and latest asking price, remaining lease length, condition, neighbourhood, and final status if known. I’d add weekly new-listing volume too. If supply rose during the sample, slower movement may have little to do with the...

There is also a timing mismatch in the question. A deal completed this month may reflect a buyer found earlier, while a listing removed this month may have been withdrawn rather than sold. Recent completions are useful, but they will not necessarily describe what changed among this month’s new...

What does the 28 days represent: the median age of today’s listings, or the time between first appearance and removal? Also, are all the properties within tightly drawn neighbourhood boundaries? A broad Lagos label can combine townhouses competing in quite different local markets.

“Condition” needs breaking down as carefully as the price. Cosmetic work, unresolved maintenance and layout limitations can produce very different reactions from buyers. Even without assigning repair figures, note what is immediately usable and what would delay occupation.

That’s helpful. I was treating “new-build” as enough information, but it clearly isn’t. I’ll ask the seller to state separately when signing, registration and handover occur, and I’ll have the local professional confirm ownership eligibility for the exact unit and proposed purchaser rather than...

I’m preparing a closing-cost checklist for a new-build flat in Doha priced at about QAR 4,186,000. I have allowed for transfer-related charges, registration and legal or notary costs, but I’m less clear about ownership restrictions, developer charges and recurring property costs. Before...

I wouldn’t automatically pay for two full inspections. A thorough handover inspection, followed by your own dated notes and photos while living there, may be the better use of limited cash. Insulation performance can also be harder to judge from a brief visual visit than uneven finishes, leaks...
