Breakdown of who lists apartments for sale in Baku

The 76,738 sale listings on record show a clear agency majority: 72.8% of listings are posted by agency accounts, compared with 30.0% from private, non-business sellers and 1.0% from developers. This means that for most apartments a buyer encounters, they are dealing with an intermediary rather than the property owner directly. All asking prices shown on this service are asking prices, not transaction prices. Time on market is measured from Doma's first observation — the source publishes no listing date. As a result, any figure for how long a listing has been observed is a floor, not a precise count of days since it was first posted.

Questions

Do most apartments in Baku sell through agencies or directly from owners?

Private, non-business sellers account for 30.0% of listings, and developers account for 1.0%. Buyers are therefore more likely to encounter an agency listing than a direct owner listing when searching for an apartment in Baku.
