Short answer

Before you price a property for sale, the most useful thing you can check is what comparable land near you has actually sold for — not a general market estimate. KALME's map shows every registered agricultural land and forest transaction in Latvia, mapped where it happened.

1. Check comparable prices before you set a price

Whoever makes the first offer on your property is not obliged to offer you a fair one — and without a reference point, it's hard to know whether an offer is reasonable. The most direct way to get that reference point is to look at what has actually sold nearby: real, VZD-registered transactions, with the price per hectare, sold area, land composition and date for each one, mapped where they happened.

That's what the KALME map shows. It costs nothing to browse transactions in your own municipality, and it doesn't require guessing at a "fair market value" from a general average — you can look directly at deals comparable to your own property.

Where to look. Open the map, find your property's area, and browse what's already sold nearby before deciding on a price. Browsing one municipality is free and needs no account.

2. What's coming: a market for buying requests

Separately from transaction history, KALME is preparing a market where verified buyers will be able to publish anonymous purchase requests describing the type, size and area of property they want — so sellers can see real demand before they list. It isn't public yet; KALME does not collect your contact details to sell to investors, and will not take a commission on anything that follows from a listing.

3. Agricultural land and forest are priced differently

Agricultural land and forest properties don't move together — a comparison in your municipality for arable land tells you little about what a forest stand nearby sold for, and the reverse. KALME keeps price data for both separately:

Both are summaries built from the same transaction data shown on the map — useful for a national or regional picture, while the map itself is the tool for checking a specific property's neighbourhood.

Frequently asked questions

Does KALME find a buyer for me, or handle the sale?

No. KALME is a data platform, not a broker. It shows real registered transactions. It does not act as an intermediary in a sale, does not charge a commission, and does not negotiate on your behalf.

What is the "Buying" market KALME mentions?

A feature KALME is preparing, not yet public: verified buyers will be able to publish anonymous purchase requests describing what property they're looking for, so sellers can see real demand before they list. Today, the map of registered transactions is what's available.

Is browsing the map free?

Browsing the map and individual registered transactions is free and does not require an account. Viewing all of Latvia at once, without limiting to one map area, and the full set of filters, require a paid plan.
