This report sums up what happened in our office's records during August 2026: how many properties came to market, at what prices, and what buyers asked for. Every figure is from our own records, checked on 2026-09-20.
What came to market
- 125 new properties recorded in August (July held 122)
- 124 for sale, one to rent
- 8 properties were marked sold during August
Asking prices by type
- House — 65 properties, median $100,000 (from $20,000 to $400,000)
- Apartment — 33 properties, median $85,000 (from $43,000 to $190,000)
- Land — 15 properties, median $45,000 (from $6,000 to $180,000)
- Commercial — 8 properties, median $130,000
- Villa — 3 properties, from $220,000 to $280,000
Of the 33 new apartments, 14 were offered with instalment terms. Among houses, only two.
What buyers asked for
- 67 requests from buyers and renters reached us
- 56 to buy, 11 to rent
- Of those who named a budget, the median was $69,000
The gap is plain: the median buyer budget ($69,000) sits below the median asking price for houses ($100,000) and close to apartments ($85,000). That is why most first-time buyers end up on apartments and land rather than houses.
Where the activity was
- Nawzad Company — 5 new properties
- New Chwarchra Villas — 5
- Old Bakrajou — 4
- Tasluja, Kanasoor, Ibrahim Ahmad, Chwarchra Opposite Villas 200, Kanekawa, Heart of the City, Chwarchra 36, Raperin — three each
Note: these are the prices sellers are asking, not the prices properties sold for. The figures come from our office's records and do not cover the whole Sulaymaniyah market.
