A dash is not a zero. A median needs 30 priced listings behind it and a yield needs 30 on each side; 8 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 Meanchey is actually like
The Khan (district) of Meanchey is situated in south-eastern and southern part of the capital of Phnom Penh, Cambodia.
Meanchey used to be a sleepy, underdeveloped area of the city but since the early 2000s, Meanchey has experienced an economic renaissance. The emergence of industrial factories and international property developers means the district is changing quickly.
This is especially true to the south, with land being repurposed from the former lakes of Boeung Tompun (the Chak Angre area) and is now undergoing rapid industrialization and urbanization. Meanchey also has some of the largest malls in the country being developed within its Sangkats.
Over a relatively short amount of time, Meanchey has become one of the fastest developing districts of Phnom Penh.

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.
