What the data says about Seychelles
Not opinions — arithmetic. Each of these came out of the registers and the listings themselves, and each links to the page it was computed from so you can check it. 4 of them today.
Geography
Where is the biggest price gap in the Seychelles?
The median home in De Quincey Village asks $157,855,294; in Land | Anse Royale, Mahe it asks $92,000. Same island, 1715.8× the price.
What would make this wrong: It compares what is on the market, not like for like. An area of large houses will always beat an area of flats, whatever the land underneath is worth.

What things cost
Which bedroom costs the most in the Seychelles?
Going from 4 bedrooms to 5 adds $2,355,000 to the median asking price — more than any other step on the ladder.
What would make this wrong: A 5-bed house is not a 4-bed house with a room added — it is usually a bigger plot in a different place. This is the price of a different kind of home, not the price of a bedroom.

The market
How concentrated is the Seychelles's market?
Three agents hold 65% of everything advertised — 227, 61, 57 listings out of 528. 6 agents share the rest.
What would make this wrong: It counts adverts, not sales. An agency that lists everything it is asked to and one that sells everything it lists look identical here.

Converted at the previous day's reference rates. It compares medians, not like-for-like houses — an island of flats will always look cheap against an island of villas.
