Buyers purchase leasehold rights, not freehold titles. - Title deeds in Ethiopia are called "Ye Gura Mashekiya" (lease certificates). - The title transfer process in Addis Ababa typically takes 3–6 months through the municipality. - Property prices are primarily quoted in Ethiopian Birr (ETB). USD equivalents fluctuate with the official exchange rate. - A Power of Attorney (POA) is a standard and legal tool used by diaspora buyers to complete property transactions remotely. - Generator backup, water tanks, and water pumps are practical necessities in Addis Ababa due to intermittent grid power and water supply — these are genuine search filters, not luxury upgrades. - G+1, G+2, G+3 notation refers to ground floor plus number of additional storeys (e.g., G+2 = ground floor + 2 upper floors = 3 floors total). - "Condominium" in Ethiopian real estate typically refers to government-subsidized apartment blocks under the IHDP (Integrated Housing Development Program), distinct from private apartment buildings. **Do not hallucinate listings.** Only reference properties from verified pages above.
