How we know this

Source: Rise Real Bali project database (Airtable) built from developer price lists, availability charts and decks; snapshot 20 October 2026. Sample: 1,050 unit types with price and floor area. Meters per Rp 1 bn = floor area divided by price, median across unit types. The sample includes 98 unit types marked sold and 31 blocked, as in the Bali-wide prices article. Prices are the minimum list price per unit type, in rupiah at Rp 17,700 per US dollar. Price per m² uses 1050 unit types with price and floor area; outliers below Rp 8.9 mn and above Rp 266 mn per m² are excluded. Middle half = first to third quartile. Areas with 20+ unit types. Advertised yield is the developer's figure, not our estimate. Project names are replaced with numbers in the data table. Statistics for fewer than 10 unit types are not shown. Market statistics, not a valuation of any property. Data in one table: /assets/reports/ploshchad-za-dengi.csv
