Price history in Cartagena

Apartment price per m² and whole-inventory median sale price, in USD. Apartments only: a house’s m² includes the land, so mixing them would not give a figure comparable month to month. Where a neighborhood has no apartments for sale the $/m² column is left empty; the median sale price beside it still carries the month. Published months are never restated. · Download CSV

Methodology

This page analyzes 4,714 listings in Cartagena, Colombia.

Metrics are calculated from the active inventory TuLugar monitors across the market — both listings published on TuLugar and active agency supply tracked continuously. They are asking prices, not final transaction or closing prices.

We use medians to reduce the effect of outlier properties; $/m² only includes listings with valid area data. Prices in other currencies are converted to USD using the exchange rate available when the snapshot is refreshed.

Data is recalculated daily and can change when listings are published, updated, or deactivated.
