What moves prices in Dakar

Four factors dominate pricing: location (seafront, proximity to the centre and amenities), legal status — a land title clearly raises value versus a lease —, the condition and standing of the build, and the view. Within the same neighbourhood these criteria can move the same type of property threefold; that is why an honest range informs better than an average.
