We pulled live public listings from ikman.lk — houses, apartments, land and rentals across towns — and computed the going rate for every one of them. Not agent talk. The market’s own asking prices, town by town.
Each page does one job, computed from the live listings behind this site — the range, the working, and the real ads. The bar up top hops between pages, so nothing is more than one tap away.
Pick the property type, the town and the size — the estimate is computed on the spot from the live ads behind this site, with the range, the working and the real listings shown. Filters recompute everything.
Each circle is a town. Size is how many live listings sit behind the number; colour is the going rate. Click any town for the full dossier — the range, the count, and the actual ads.
That is the Central Bank’s own asking-price index talking, not us: condominiums +11.0% and houses +6.4% over the same twelve months to March 2026. Land bottomed in October 2023 and has climbed +73.8% since. Below: the real history, the asking-price record, and what today’s 19,475 listings say about where the opportunity sits.
LankaPropertyWeb has published average asking prices every quarter since 2011, from a sample of roughly 15,000 ads. Average advertised prices — houses are 4-bed, apartments 3-bed.
No forecasts, no model. Momentum from the official index, yield and value gaps from today’s live listings. These are signals to investigate, not financial advice.
Everything above is someone else’s history. Our own town-level tape starts today, 25 August 2026: we log a daily snapshot of all 229 towns’ medians from here on, and this card becomes a live trend line as the days stack up. Check back in a month and it draws itself.
We read every live apartment ad on ikman.lk, grouped the ones that name their building, and priced each building by unit size and bedroom count. Asking prices, not closed sales — and where a building has only a handful of ads, we say so.
Towns ranked on their own medians. Only towns with at least eight listings in the metric qualify — thin samples don’t get to set records.
Each dot is a real live listing. Land: plot size against per-perch rate. Switch to apartments or houses to see price per square foot against size. Hover any dot.
Every town figure comes from live public listings on ikman.lk, Sri Lanka’s largest property marketplace, pulled on . Each sample ad links out to the original listing so you can check any number yourself. Listings expire and sell, so this is a dated snapshot, not a live feed.
These are the prices sellers ask, not the prices buyers close at. In Sri Lankan practice, final prices typically settle below asking. Treat each median as the top of the negotiation, not the signed number.
Ads with missing prices are dropped. Obvious junk is filtered by hard bounds (a Rs 180 “house” is not a house), then every town-metric group is trimmed to its 5th–95th percentile band before the median is taken. Ads whose title names a different town than the tagged location are excluded outright — 1,572 of them, because sellers mislabel locations to catch searches. A median of 30 real ads survives a liar; a mean does not.
The index chart is the Central Bank of Sri Lanka’s Real Estate Asking Price Indices for Colombo district (2019=100), from its quarterly Real Estate Market Analysis reports. Where CBSL publishes levels we use them verbatim; where it publishes year-on-year changes, earlier levels are reconstructed backwards one month at a time. The 2019–2026 average-price cards are LankaPropertyWeb’s published quarterly averages. Our own daily town tape starts 25 August 2026 — before that, no town-level history exists on this site, and we say so rather than invent it.
Per-perch rates come straight from per-perch priced ads, or from total price ÷ stated perches. Per-square-foot rates are asking price ÷ stated floor area. Yields are median annual rent ÷ median asking price in the same town. Nothing is modelled, fitted or forecast — it is division.
Every number on this site carries its n. A median from 4 listings is a hint; from 40, a market. League tables require 8+. Where a town is thin, the calculator says so and falls back to its district — and tells you it did.
The opportunity cards combine published index momentum with today’s listing medians. They point at where to dig; they are not a recommendation to buy anything. Verify every figure against the linked source before money moves.
