Key findings

  • Addis Ababa is the most expensive of the 1 ranked region to buy property, with a median asking price of Br 11,000,000 across 4,585 listings.
  • Addis Ababa has the highest median rent, at Br 160,000/mo.
  • Property that changed hands took a median of 203 days to sell, measured from publication to the agent recording the deal.
  • The highest gross rental yield in the report is 10.39% on houses in Addis Ababa.
  • Addis Ababa accounts for the largest share of the market, with 5,114 of the 5,172 listings analysed.

Price rankings and comparisons cover regions holding at least a fifth of a percent of the listings in the busiest region for that category, and never fewer than 100 — a median drawn from a few dozen listings is not comparable with one drawn from tens of thousands. Every region that met the reporting threshold still appears in the tables below.

How fast the market moves

Median days to sell 203 days from 31 completed sales

Measured from the date a listing was first published to the date its agent recorded it as rented or sold, over the last 12 months, for areas with at least 20 completed transactions. It covers only listings that transacted, so it is how long a completed deal took rather than how long a property should be expected to wait, and it depends on agents recording an outcome.

Where the enquiries are going

Enquiries per 100 rental listings 9.1 in the 28 days to 26 Sep, across 559 listings
Rental listings with at least one enquiry 6.4% in the 28 days to 26 Sep
Rental listings asking above the local going rate 43.9% more than 10% over their area's median · 42.7% more than 10% under · of listings with a comparable area median
Enquiries per 100: priced at the going rate vs above it 9.9 vs 5.3 at or up to 10% over the area median vs more than 10% over it
Enquiries per 100 sale listings 3.5 in the 28 days to 26 Sep, across 4,613 listings
Sale listings with at least one enquiry 2.6% in the 28 days to 26 Sep
Sale listings asking above the local going rate 37.1% more than 10% over their area's median · 34.0% more than 10% under · of listings with a comparable area median
Enquiries per 100: priced at the going rate vs above it 2.1 vs 4.4 at or up to 10% over the area median vs more than 10% over it

Enquiries are phone and WhatsApp contacts made through the site over the 28 days to the date shown, counted once per person, listing, channel and day, across the same listings the price figures count. A listing's price position is its asking price against the median for comparable listings in its area, where at least 10 exist; listings priced in another currency have none. Figures are published for areas with at least 20 scored listings.

National asking prices

Method changed from Q4 2026 From Q4 2026, rent and sale figures come from the monthly Rent Index and House Price Index. The Q3 2026 figures below are as published, using the previous method: median asking price of listings created in the previous six months.

By bedroom count

A median moves when the mix of listings moves. These hold the bed count still, so a rise here is a price rise rather than a quarter that happened to attract larger homes. Sizes run to five bedrooms; larger homes and listings with no bed count are counted in every other figure on this page, but are too few to publish a median of their own.

Rental yield

Highest gross rental yields

No. 943

Gross yield is the median annual asking rent as a percentage of the median asking price for the same area and the same product — the same property type, or the same bed count. It is matched because the rented stock and the for-sale stock are different properties: dividing one area-wide median by the other reads about half the matched figure. It is indicative of the market rather than of any one property, is gross of service charge, agency fees and void periods, and is not published for land. Across Ethiopia as a whole, the house figure is 9.92%.

About this report

How we measure these figures.

Median and average of advertised asking prices, in ETB, of every listing published on Ethiopia Property Centre when the report was generated. Cells with fewer than 20 listings are excluded, as are listings advertised in US dollars. So are listings asking below Br 10 to rent or Br 100 to buy, which are placeholder prices rather than real ones. Not every advertised price is a whole-property asking price. Those quoted per plot, acre, hectare or square metre, and those quoted by the night, week or calendar month, are excluded from the figures above. They are published in their own units, in the land and short-let sections. Short lets below Br 1 a night are excluded on the same basis as the floors above.

Every price here is an advertised asking price, not a sold price, and the median is the headline figure — asking prices are heavily skewed, and a single high-value listing should not move an area's number.

Not every figure is. Days on market comes from agents' own records of a listing being rented or sold, over a different period and a different set of listings. It is measured beside the figures themselves, under how fast the market moves.

The enquiry figures come from contacts made through the site, counted once per person, listing, channel and day, over the 28 days before one scoring night near the quarter's end. The basis sits under where the enquiries are going.
