RED ANALYTICS REPORT. TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 2026.
|
|
If you're a real estate agent who has ever uploaded a property, shared it in 17 WhatsApp groups, called the owner twice, followed up with the buyer three times, and still ended the day wondering where the commission went, this report is for you.
The property market doesn't sit still just because an agent is tired. New listings keep arriving, buyers keep searching, landlords keep changing their minds, and that "serious client" who promised to call back tomorrow sometimes disappears into the same mysterious place where missing commissions live.
The RED Analytics Report for Tuesday, September 1, 2026, provides a real-time, 30-day snapshot of aggregated active listing data extracted directly from the Real Estate Database, popularly known as the RED. It gives agents, brokers, realtors, developers, landlords, investors, and property managers a practical view of what is happening on the supply side of the market.
And there's an important distinction here. This isn't merely a report telling you how many properties exist. It gives you clues about where properties are being listed, what categories are receiving fresh supply, which agents and agencies are actively feeding the market, which locations are attracting attention, and which properties are generating visitor interest.
In other words, it gives agents something far more useful than the traditional industry question, "What are you hearing in the market?"
As the saying goes, "In real estate, location is everything." But in today's digital property market, visibility is becoming almost as important as location. A beautiful property nobody can find is like a mansion hidden behind a bush, technically valuable, but commercially useless.
So, let's open the numbers and see what the market is whispering.
Active Listings, 59,429 properties means the market is definitely not sleeping.
The first figure gives us the overall size of the current listing pool. The RED has a total of 59,429 active listings.
That is 59,429 opportunities for buyers, sellers, investors, landlords, developers, and, most importantly, agents looking for business. For an agent, however, a large inventory comes with a small problem, actually, a very large problem, competition.
When there are 59,429 active listings available, simply having a property is no longer enough. The question becomes, can potential buyers actually find it?
An agent might proudly tell a landlord, "I have listed your property." The landlord may smile. The agent may smile back. Everyone feels productive. But the real question is whether the property is being exposed to people actively searching for property.
That is where platforms such as the RED become increasingly important. With thousands of active properties competing for attention, agents need structured property marketing, searchable listings, accurate locations, compelling descriptions, photographs, and consistent online visibility.
For buyers searching for property for sale, property for rent, land for sale, houses for sale, apartments for rent, commercial property, and investment opportunities, a large database creates choice. For agents, it creates competition, but also creates opportunity.
After all, 59,429 listings don't just represent competition. They represent a market.
New Listings, 1,284 fresh opportunities have just entered the game.
The next figure tells us about market activity rather than simply market size. The RED recorded 1,284 new listings.
That means 1,284 properties have recently entered the market, giving agents fresh inventory to market and giving buyers new opportunities to discover.
Of those 1,284 new listings, 487 are new listings for rent, while 797 are new listings for sale.
That split is interesting because sales are clearly leading rentals during this reporting period. With 797 new sale listings compared with 487 new rental listings, agents dealing in property sales have a particularly large pool of fresh inventory to work with.
For agents, this is where the rubber meets the road. A fresh listing is an opportunity, but only if it gets exposure. The owner may say, "I have just given you the property, please get me a buyer quickly." Meanwhile, the agent is looking at the property photos, the asking price, the location, and the competition, silently wondering whether the owner has also given the same property to 11 other agents.
The RED helps turn that fresh inventory into searchable digital stock, making it easier for buyers actively searching for property to discover new opportunities.
The pie chart showing new listings for rent versus sale illustrates this distribution, while the corresponding bar chart makes the disparity between the 487 rental listings and 797 sale listings even harder to ignore.
For agents, the lesson is simple, don't just count your listings. Watch where the new supply is coming from.
Pending Listings, 23,905 properties are still waiting for their moment.
Now we get to the category that every agent knows intimately, pending listings.
The RED currently records 23,905 pending listings.
These are overdue listings, and their sheer number deserves attention. When 23,905 listings are sitting in pending status, there is clearly a substantial amount of inventory requiring attention, follow-up, renewal, updating, or some other form of intervention.
For agents, pending listings can be a bit like clients who say, "I'll get back to you." You know something is happening, but you don't quite know what.
A property can remain pending because circumstances have changed, the owner is reconsidering the asking price, the transaction is progressing slowly, or the listing simply needs attention. Whatever the reason, 23,905 pending listings represent a substantial portion of the market that agents should not ignore.
The figure also reinforces the importance of keeping property listings updated. Digital property marketing isn't a "post it and forget it" business. Listings need attention, accurate information, current pricing, quality photographs, and proper follow-up.
The agent who treats a listing like a living asset rather than a one-time upload is already playing a different game.
Top Agents, these 6 agents are clearly not waiting for clients to fall from the sky.
The next section looks at individual agents who are currently setting the pace for fresh listings on the RED.
Ivan leads the group with 234 new listings.
Sheila follows with 126 new listings, while Isma has 119 new listings. George comes next with 108 new listings, followed by Hubert with 98 new listings. Sarah completes the group with 87 new listings.
That means the 6 leading agents recorded a combined 772 new listings.
Ivan alone accounted for 234 of those 772 listings, which is a serious volume of inventory. At this level, the agent is not merely "looking for a property to sell." The agent is building a digital property portfolio.
And this is where listing consistency matters. Agents often focus heavily on chasing buyers, which is understandable. Buyers bring transactions, transactions bring commissions, and commissions pay the bills. But without quality inventory, what exactly are you going to show the buyer?
A buyer saying, "I need a house in Kyanja with 4 bedrooms," isn't particularly useful if the agent has nothing suitable to present.
The more relevant inventory an agent has, the more opportunities there are to match buyers with properties. That's why fresh listings matter.
The RED, therefore, becomes more than a place to advertise. It becomes part of the agent's digital inventory management and lead generation strategy.
Top Locations, Kira is clearly having a busy day.
Location remains the heavyweight champion of real estate, and the latest figures prove it.
Kira in Wakiso leads the new-listing activity with 116 new listings.
Kyanja in Kampala follows with 60 new listings, while Namugongo in Wakiso records 57 new listings. Naguru in Kampala has 55 new listings, Mutungo in Kampala has 52 new listings, and Ntinda in Kampala has 44 new listings.
Together, these 6 locations account for 384 new listings.
Kira's 116 new listings alone represent a substantial amount of fresh supply. For agents specializing in Kira, that's both good news and a warning.
Good news because there is plenty of inventory and market activity.
A warning because everyone else can see the opportunity too.
This is where local market specialization becomes valuable. An agent who understands Kira, knows the neighbourhoods, understands the roads, knows the rental patterns, recognizes the different property types, and can explain the surrounding amenities has an advantage over someone who simply copies a listing description and says, "Very good location."
And yes, every location is apparently a "very good location" according to some property adverts.
The data suggests that agents should pay particular attention to Kira, Kyanja, Namugongo, Naguru, Mutungo, and Ntinda when developing their property marketing strategies.
Top Categories, apartments are once again refusing to leave the spotlight.
Property categories tell us what kind of inventory is entering the market.
Apartments lead with 324 new listings.
Bungalows follow with 249 new listings, while residential plots record 242 new listings. Storeyed houses account for 79 new listings, semi detached houses record 68 new listings, and apartment blocks account for 60 new listings.
These 6 categories together account for 1,022 new listings out of the total 1,284 new listings.
Apartments therefore represent the largest single category in this section, with 324 new listings. Bungalows are not far behind at 249, while residential plots are also remarkably strong at 242.
For agents, this provides a useful indication of where fresh inventory is coming from.
If an agent specializes in apartments, the 324 new listings indicate substantial activity. If another agent specializes in land, the 242 residential plot listings indicate a significant supply of potential inventory.
The trick is not simply to list what you have. The trick is to understand what buyers are searching for and position your inventory accordingly.
Special Categories, because apparently real estate also includes everything except a small spaceship.
The special categories provide an interesting glimpse into niche property opportunities.
Duplexes recorded 16 new listings.
Office Space recorded 8 new listings.
Warehouses recorded 5 new listings, while joint investment land also recorded 5 new listings.
Schools recorded 3 new listings, and factories recorded 3 new listings.
That gives us a combined total of 40 new listings across these 6 special categories.
These numbers may look small compared with the 324 apartment listings, but low supply can sometimes create high-intent opportunities.
A person searching for 1 warehouse isn't necessarily casually browsing. They may have a business ready to move. Someone looking for school property may have a very specific investment requirement. Someone searching for joint investment land may be looking for a completely different type of opportunity from someone searching for a residential plot.
For agents, niche inventory can therefore be surprisingly valuable.
You may not need 1,000 buyers. Sometimes you just need 1 serious buyer looking for exactly what you've got.
Top Properties Per Category, clicks are telling us what buyers are actually looking at.
This section gets particularly interesting because the properties below represent the most popular property in each category based on total visitor clicks.
The leading bungalow is property code 254788 in Bukoto, priced at 350,000 dollars.
The leading apartment is property code 220723 in Naguru, currently displaying a price of 0 shillings.
Yes, 0 shillings.
That doesn't necessarily mean somebody has suddenly discovered the secret formula for free real estate. It is an example of a hidden-price listing, where the displayed price is effectively concealed by being entered or displayed as 0. For buyers, that can create curiosity. For agents, it can create questions. And for landlords, it can create a phone call that begins with, "So, how much is the property actually?"
The leading storeyed house is property code 254565 in Naguru, priced at 3,000 dollars.
The leading mansion is property code 223630 in Kulambilo, priced at 1,500,000,000 shillings.
The leading residential land property is property code 217164 in Kajjansi, priced at 100,000,000 shillings.
The leading villa is property code 235636 in Kigo, priced at 785,000,000 shillings.
The leading duplex is property code 254647 in Bugoloobi, priced at 2,800 dollars.
The leading agricultural land property is property code 251386 in Ngombere, priced at 38,000,000 shillings.
These 8 properties demonstrate something important for agents, buyer attention isn't determined solely by price.
The properties cover everything from 0 shillings for the hidden-price apartment in Naguru, to 3,000 dollars for the storeyed house in Naguru, 2,800 dollars for the duplex in Bugoloobi, 38,000,000 shillings for agricultural land in Ngombere, 100,000,000 shillings for residential land in Kajjansi, 350,000 dollars for the bungalow in Bukoto, 785,000,000 shillings for the villa in Kigo, and 1,500,000,000 shillings for the mansion in Kulambiro.
What matters here is visitor interest. Clicks provide a useful signal of what attracts attention online.
For agents, this is a reminder that good property photography, accurate descriptions, compelling titles, strategic pricing, and proper listing exposure can make a huge difference.
Sometimes the buyer isn't ignoring your property. They simply haven't seen it yet.
Top Agencies, 8 agencies are bringing serious inventory to the table.
Individual agents aren't the only ones driving fresh supply. Agencies are also making their mark.
Vaniland Property Consultants leads with 267 new listings.
Brandpro Property Services follows with 234 new listings.
Cornerstone Property Solutions has 127 new listings, while Kameruka Property Consultants has 98 new listings.
Property Agent 175 records 62 new listings, Rentwide has 56 new listings, Mega Property Services has 43 new listings, and Sacred Property Services has 38 new listings.
Together, these 8 agencies account for 925 new listings.
Vaniland Property Consultants alone contributes 267 new listings, while Brandpro Property Services contributes 234. The difference between them is only 33 listings, showing just how closely the top 2 agencies are competing for listing volume.
This is where systems become important.
An agency handling hundreds of listings needs more than a good receptionist and a WhatsApp group. It needs structured inventory management, consistent marketing, agent accountability, lead tracking, and visibility.
A platform like the RED can become particularly useful here because an agency's property portfolio can be placed where active property seekers are already searching.
After all, having 267 listings is impressive. Getting those 267 listings seen by the right people is the real assignment.
Fastest Growing Locations, yesterday's outskirts can become tomorrow's premium addresses.
Now we move from monthly listing activity to annual growth patterns.
Because fastest-growing locations cannot be reliably tracked on a monthly basis, these figures are aggregated annually and represent real estate activity over the last 1 year.
The fastest growing locations are Kira, Mutungo, Kyanja, Namugongo, Kisaasi, Kireka, Ntinda, Najjera, Kyaliwajjala, and Kitende.
That's 10 locations showing the strongest growth according to the annual activity ranking.
For investors and developers, these locations deserve attention. For agents, they deserve even more attention.
Why?
Because growth creates inventory, inventory creates transactions, and transactions create commissions.
Kira appearing first shouldn't surprise anyone familiar with the area's development trajectory. But the presence of Mutungo, Kyanja, Namugongo, Kisaasi, Kireka, Ntinda, Najjera, Kyaliwajjala, and Kitende shows that opportunity isn't concentrated in a single neighbourhood.
An agent who only waits for properties in the traditional prime areas may eventually discover that the market has quietly moved past them.
Real estate has a funny habit of doing that.
The bar chart for the top locations for land provides an additional visual perspective on where land-related activity is concentrated.
Fastest Growing Districts, the market isn't politely waiting for infrastructure to catch up.
The annual district growth ranking provides an even wider view.
The fastest growing districts are Wakiso, Kampala, Mukono, Luweero, Mpigi, Buyikwe, Mityana, Jinja, Nakaseke, and Nakasongola.
These are 10 districts ranked according to real estate growth over the last 1 year.
Wakiso takes the top position, followed by Kampala and Mukono.
For agents, district-level data is particularly useful when advising land buyers and investors. A buyer asking, "Where should I buy land?" isn't necessarily asking for a random plot. They're often asking where future value might emerge.
That conversation becomes much stronger when an agent understands development patterns, infrastructure, population growth, accessibility, and market activity.
Of course, agents should still conduct proper due diligence. A growing district doesn't automatically make every plot a bargain. Sometimes the cheapest land is cheap for a reason, and sometimes the expensive land is expensive because everyone has already discovered the secret.
The fastest-growing district chart therefore provides direction, not a guarantee.
Top Locations for Land, because everyone suddenly wants to know where the next big plot is.
The annual ranking for land activity places Kira at the top.
Namugongo follows, then Gayaza, Kyanja, and Seeta.
That gives us 5 leading locations for land activity over the last 1 year.
For land agents, this is valuable intelligence.
Kira and Namugongo continue to attract strong attention, while Gayaza, Kyanja, and Seeta add further depth to the land market.
A buyer searching for residential land for sale, investment land, agricultural land, or plots for development is increasingly likely to compare locations before making a decision.
Agents who can provide that comparison have an advantage.
Instead of simply saying, "I have land in Kira," an informed agent can explain how the opportunity compares with Namugongo, Gayaza, Kyanja, or Seeta.
That's the difference between being a property messenger and being a property advisor.
Top Locations for Houses, apparently Kira didn't get the memo about slowing down.
The annual ranking for houses puts Kira in first position.
Namugongo follows, then Kyanja, Kisaasi, and Mutungo.
These are 5 leading locations for house activity over the last 1 year.
The overlap between the land and house rankings is particularly interesting. Kira, Namugongo, and Kyanja appear prominently in both categories.
For agents, that suggests a useful property lifecycle story. Where there is strong land activity today, there may be strong housing activity tomorrow. Where housing activity is already strong, land values may be influenced by existing demand and development.
Of course, real estate doesn't follow a perfectly straight line. Markets zig, zag, surprise everyone, and occasionally make an agent question every decision made since Monday morning.
But patterns matter.
And when the same locations repeatedly appear across different market indicators, they're worth watching.
Property Category Distribution, the latest inventory has a personality of its own.
The final major section looks at the distribution of the top 10 property categories among the latest listings on the RED.
Apartments lead with 324 listings.
Bungalows follow with 249 listings.
Residential plots come next with 242 listings.
Storyed houses account for 79 listings.
Semi detached houses account for 68 listings.
Apartment blocks account for 60 listings.
Mansions account for 46 listings.
Rental units account for 44 listings.
Commercial plots account for 27 listings.
Condominiums account for 26 listings.
Together, these 10 categories account for 1,175 listings.
The numbers reveal a market where apartments, bungalows, and residential plots dominate the latest inventory.
The 324 apartment listings represent the largest category, while the 249 bungalow listings and 242 residential plot listings are remarkably close to each other. The difference between apartments and bungalows is 75 listings, while the difference between bungalows and residential plots is only 7 listings.
For agents, that kind of distribution matters because it helps reveal where the current supply is concentrated.
If an agent is marketing apartments, the market is providing plenty of inventory. If the agent is dealing in residential land, there are also 242 fresh listings in the category. And if bungalows are your specialty, 249 new listings suggest that you certainly aren't operating in an empty market.
The RED therefore gives agents an opportunity to keep their finger on the pulse of property supply rather than relying entirely on rumours, WhatsApp forwards, roadside conversations, or the famous "my friend told me" market intelligence.
The market keeps moving, and the agents who watch the data move with it.
The September 1, 2026, RED Analytics Report paints a market with 59,429 active listings, 1,284 new listings, and 23,905 pending listings. Within the 1,284 new listings, 487 are rentals and 797 are sales.
The leading 6 agents account for 772 new listings, while the leading 6 locations account for 384 new listings. The top 6 property categories account for 1,022 new listings, and the 6 special categories contribute 40 new listings.
The 8 leading agencies account for 925 new listings.
The annual rankings identify 10 fastest-growing locations, 10 fastest-growing districts, 5 top locations for land, and 5 top locations for houses.
The top properties per category cover 8 categories, with prices ranging from 0 shillings for the hidden-price apartment in Naguru, through 2,800 dollars, 3,000 dollars, 38,000,000 shillings, 100,000,000 shillings, 350,000 dollars, 785,000,000 shillings, and 1,500,000,000 shillings.
The top 10 property categories account for 1,175 latest listings.
That is a lot of information, but the real value isn't simply knowing the numbers. It's knowing what to do with them.
An agent can use the data to identify active locations, understand property category supply, spot emerging markets, compare inventory, improve conversations with buyers and sellers, and identify where future opportunities may be developing.
And that's the bigger lesson from the RED Analytics Report.
The market is already producing signals. The question is whether agents are paying attention.
For agents and brokers, the RED isn't just another place to put a property and hope somebody calls. It is becoming a digital marketplace where listing volume, location, category, clicks, visibility, and buyer activity come together.
You can continue chasing every lead manually and hoping your next commission is hiding somewhere in a WhatsApp conversation, or you can put your properties where active property seekers are already looking.
Keep this overview handy as you navigate the dynamic real estate landscape. You can also explore aggregated listings through the latest listings, Listings Snapshot, Category Snapshot, and Locations Snapshot, including the latest listings in the best hotspots starting from the most affordable options.
Because in real estate, the property may be the asset, but visibility is what gets the phone ringing.
