A dash is not a zero. A median needs 30 priced listings behind it and a yield needs 30 on each side; 26 of these fall under that on at least one measure, so those figures are withheld rather than printed off a handful of homes.

Living here
What Waigani is actually like
Waigani Suburb, often referred to as Waga, is centrally positioned between Tokarara, Ensisi, Gordons, and Gerehu, located northwest of downtown Port Moresby and southwest of Jackson’s International Airport.
As one of the largest and most iconic suburbs in Port Moresby, Waigani is home to several notable landmarks, including the National Parliament, National Museum, National Library, Port Moresby National Arts Theatre, National Archives, Morauta Haus, and the newly refurbished City Hall.
The large population in Waigani can be both an advantage and a challenge, depending on one's perspective. Since the 2018 APEC Summit, the suburb has seen a significant boost in infrastructure development, with key projects including:
- Independence Boulevard
- The Convention Center
- Koura Way, which connects Waigani and Hanuabada via Tokarara and June Valley
- Keni Vani Road, linking Gerehu and Rainbow Estate with 8 and 9 Mile
- Sir Manasupe Haus (formerly the Pineapple Building)

From here
On the market in Waigani right now
4 to 1rentals outnumber homes for sale. Waigani is a landlord’s market before it is a buyer’s one.
1 of 4homes for sale state a floor area, which is what makes a price per square metre a real division.
Straight answers
What these figures are, and what we will not print
Where these figures come from, and where they stop.
Asking, not sold
Every price here is what a seller or landlord advertises on this site today. Cambodia publishes no register of transaction prices, so nobody can honestly print what homes actually sold for.
Why there is no price chart
Our historical figures are not measured consistently enough to compare one year with another, so we would rather show no trend line than a misleading one.
Small samples are withheld
A median needs 30 priced listings behind it, and a yield needs 30 on each side. Below that the figure is a dash. A dash is an admission; a number would be a claim.
Per square metre is computed
Price divided by floor area, every time, over the homes that state one. The per-square-metre figure agents type into the listing form is never used here.
These counts match the search
Every count is what the search results page returns for the same area, because it is the same query.
Written by people
The sections under "Living here" were researched, written and photographed for this site. Nothing on this page is generated prose.
