high confidence. Based on 1369 comparable foreign listings. The final number is adjusted with a correction factor of 0.47x found by checking a sample of Danish asking prices against our raw estimate. Read more on the methodology page.

How sure are we about reliability?

We still show a weighted average, but the disagreement is real, not sampling noise, so treat this figure with more caution than usual. Read more on the methodology page.
