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 transactions registered with the State Land Service, 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. With a free account, go to the map, find your property's area, and browse what's already sold nearby before deciding on a price. The map is free with an account: it shows one layer at a time and includes 4 property reports and 4 owner reveals a day. Kalējs (€99 a month) shows every layer at once.
2. Want us to sell it for you?
Send the cadastre number. We price it on real deals, find the buyer and take the deal to the notary for a 3% commission from one side only. We also buy land and forest ourselves.
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:
- The price of agricultural land in Latvia — national medians, by municipality, since 2022.
- The price of forest properties in Latvia — the same, for forest and forest land.
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.
