Comparable price estimate
A research benchmark for this home's size, using similar properties in the building or area.
More comparable evidence needed
At least three recent, distinct comparables on the same price basis are required. Research added through the CRM updates this estimate automatically.
Advertised prices are not completed sales or an appraisal. Condition, views, floor, seller terms and legal issues can change value. Bank guide prices may differ from the price an offer will achieve.
Property tax applies Law 66 of 2017 brackets to the price. A main home registered with the DGI is exempt to $120,000, then pays 0.5% to $700,000 and 0.7% above; other properties are exempt to $30,000, then pay 0.6% to $250,000, 0.8% to $500,000 and 1% above. The tax is charged on the registered value, and newer buildings may be exempt. Insurance assumes life cover of $0.50 per $1,000 of loan a month (Banistmo publishes $0.21 to $1.00 by age) and fire cover at Banistmo's $0.15 to $0.19 per $1,000 of value, with ITBMS. Bank handling is $8.56 a month, as Banco General and Banco Nacional charge. Closing costs assume 3% of the price; buyers typically pay 2% to 5% in cash purchases and 3% to 7% with a mortgage. Replace any figure with Edit payment.

Panama Property Score
A score out of 10 from our proprietary algorithm. It weighs this property's price against its area, its potential to gain value and its neighborhood.
The score appears once there are enough current prices for this area and neighborhood data for the location.
How the score works
Price & opportunity (40%): is the price per m² cheap or expensive next to similar properties for sale in the same area? A price in line with the area scores about 7.5, and the further below the area it is, the closer it gets to 10. Expected rental income also counts when we know local rents, and a recent price cut or qualifying for Panama's lower mortgage rate on a first new home adds a little.
Appreciation potential (30%): signs the area could gain value, such as a Metro or rail line being built nearby, new construction around it, a good neighborhood still priced below the rest of the district, or a newer building.
Neighborhood (30%): how many shops, restaurants, bus and Metro stops, parks and schools are within walking distance.
Scores run from 3 to 10, and only appear when we have price data plus at least one other part. A missing Metro line or building site nearby is left out rather than counted against the property. It is a research tool, not an appraisal, a forecast or investment advice.
Building safety & resilience
