Market at a glance: houses by region

Regions with fewer than five houses read are indicative only. Tlokweng and Oodi figures include one house marked under offer, and Kgatleng figures include one under offer.

How many listings are there in each area?

Area pages overlap (Mogoditshane sits inside Kweneng, and Tlokweng inside the South East, for example), so these counts should not be added together. The nationwide page reports 347 results in total and includes at least one listing marked sold.

About this data

This snapshot draws on Sam Associates Botswana's nationwide listings page (347 results, listing data dated 4 October 2026) and the district and area pages it links to. The nationwide page only displayed its first nine listings, so detailed figures come from the district and area pages. Where a page held more results than could be read (Kweneng, Tlokweng, Mogoditshane and Kgatleng), the figures reflect only the listings that were read, which means they are indicative rather than complete. Figures are asking prices, not sale prices. Two Kweneng entries priced at P3,500 and P4,800 and one commercial entry at P5,500 are rentals and were excluded. Tenure is not shown on listing cards, so it is not analysed. For a valuation or a shortlist matched to your budget, speak to a Sam Associates agent.
