Method: the current building first, then four other buildings closest by the same-bedroom median purchase price, with ties ordered by page identifier. We exclude five-year price windows, buildings with more than 20% off-plan registrations and bedroom samples below ten sales. If four peers are unavailable the comparison is withheld. Bedroom count and period match; home types, condition, floor and features may still differ. Ready registrations do not certify project completion.

Median price and median size are separate statistics, not a matched unit or a median price-per-sq-ft calculation. These are completed registrations, not available listings, valuations or forecasts.
