Unmet demand: where searches find nothing
Where rentals are hardest to find
Where homes for sale are hardest to find
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
Searchers above asking, rentals
Searchers above asking, homes for sale
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
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.

How is this report measured?
Demand is every property search run in a browser on Ghana Property Centre between 7 Oct to 5 Nov 2026, counted once per search per visit, with searches by reference number left out; searches began being recorded this way on 17 September 2026 and nothing earlier is used. Supply is the listings live at the end of that period that were published, priced as a whole property in GHS and at or above the same price floor the quarterly market report applies. An area is published only with at least 100 searches and 20 live listings; a typical budget needs at least 50 searches that stated one. Figures are refreshed nightly.
