Methodology

This page analyzes 40 monitored listings in Guatemala City, Guatemala.

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.
