Method, in plain language

We measure how strongly people in one country are looking at buying property in another, using aggregated public interest signals, and we combine those into a single country-level score per corridor. The scores are then rebased so the strongest destination in the edition reads 100, which is what makes markets comparable at a glance.

Two deliberate limits. This is country level: we do not publish city splits here. And it is directional: it shows relative standing and movement, not an absolute volume and not a forecast.

Coverage is honest rather than flattering. A destination only appears if it was measured against at least 30 origin countries, because ranking a market measured against a handful of countries beside one measured against dozens would be a false comparison. Excluded from this edition for thin coverage: Belgrade (6), Marrakech (6), Buenos Aires (4), Minsk (4), Bucharest (1). They will appear once coverage is sufficient.

Measurement period ending 2026-07-13. Figures move between editions, which is the point of publishing it monthly.

What this is not

It is not a price forecast. Strong interest does not mean prices will rise.
It is not a transaction count. People look far more often than they buy.
It is not a recommendation to buy anywhere. We sell nothing and earn no commission.
