About these numbers
UBOS’s Residential Property Price Index tracks prices of homes in greater Kampala only (Wakiso and the Kampala divisions), not the whole country. Quarter-to-quarter moves are noisy because relatively few homes are sold each quarter, so watch the longer trend. Our annual changes were checked against the rates UBOS publishes.
