What sources have we used to write this blog article?
Whether it’s in our blog articles or the market analyses included in our property pack about Honduras, we always rely on the strongest methodology we can … and we don’t throw out numbers at random.
We also aim to be fully transparent, so below we’ve listed the authoritative sources we used, and explained how we used them and the methods behind our estimates.
| Source used | Why this source matters | How we used the source |
|---|---|---|
| Banco Central de Honduras ECOPT construction survey | This is the central bank’s official survey of private covered construction activity. | We used it to understand construction activity, building-cost pressure, and where new supply is concentrated. We treated it as the official baseline for construction conditions. |
| Banco Central de Honduras reference exchange rate | This is the official Honduran source for the reference exchange rate. | We used it to convert lempira prices into dollars. We rounded the June 2026 rate to HNL 26.6 per $1 for readability. |
| Banco Central de Honduras consumer price index | This is the official source for Honduran CPI and inflation series. | We used it to compare nominal housing-price growth with inflation. We also used it to estimate real price changes. |
| IMF Honduras country data | The IMF is a standard international source for macroeconomic forecasts. | We used it to cross-check inflation and broader economic conditions. We used the IMF data as a sanity check, not as a housing-price index. |
| Properstar Honduras price index | Properstar publishes a listing-based price-per-area index that is useful for market benchmarking. | We used it to benchmark asking prices per sq m and per sq ft. We discounted the numbers because online portals over-represent formal and higher-end listings. |
| Encuentra24 Honduras market statistics | Encuentra24 is one of the main public listing platforms in Honduras. | We used it to cross-check listing-market direction and local asking-price behavior. We did not treat listing prices as final sale prices. |
| Encuentra24 Honduras real estate listings | This page shows active residential listings across many Honduran locations. | We used current listings to calibrate budget, mid-market, and high-end examples. We used individual listings as market checks, not national averages. |
| Roatán MLS-style West Bay listings | Roatán listing pages are useful because the Bay Islands market is more formal and internationally visible. | We used this source to estimate Roatán’s luxury and foreign-buyer segment. We cross-checked Roatán ranges with portal price-per-area readings. |
| Century 21 Roatán West Bay listings | Century 21 is an established brokerage brand in a clearly defined Roatán luxury submarket. | We used it to describe the high-end West Bay product mix. We also used it to support why Roatán has some of the highest price-per-sq-m ranges in Honduras. |
| Radio HRN reporting citing CHICO | This is a media source, but the article cites the Honduran construction chamber. | We used it only to cross-check construction-sector cost-pressure claims. We did not use it as the main source for national housing prices. |
| Encuentra24 Honduras houses for sale | This listing page is useful for checking the ordinary house market in Honduras. | We used it to compare basic houses, family houses, and larger urban homes. We treated the examples as asking-price checks only. |
| The Honduras Property Pack market work | Our internal market work combines public data, listing checks, and buyer-focused price interpretation. | We used it to keep the article practical for non-professional buyers. We also used it to make ranges easier to read and less dependent on one source. |
