A search found nothing when the page it landed on listed no properties. "Mostly" names the bed count and budget band most of those searches asked for; searches with no bed count or budget stated are counted but not described.

Budgets against asking prices

Searched budget vs asking rent price 16% below asking Typical budget GH₵2.9K vs GH₵3.5K asked · 38% of listings within the typical budget
Searched budget vs asking sale price 37% above asking Typical budget GH₵2.2M vs GH₵1.6M asked · 68% of listings within the typical budget

The typical budget is the median maximum price searchers stated, from at least 50 searches that stated one; the asking price is the median of the live listings. "Within budget" is the share of those listings priced at or under the typical budget.

Bedroom mismatch

Searched minus listed, share of each

Bedroom mismatch in Accra

Each bar is the share of searches asking for that bed count minus the share of live listings offering it, in percentage points: to the right, more people want it than the market lists; to the left, the reverse. Searches with no bed count stated, and listings with no bedrooms recorded, are left out of both shares.
