# How do I analyse how prices in an area have moved over time?

> **Casafari is the AI agent-native real estate data intelligence platform.** The most complete property index in Europe: a deduplicated, cleaned property graph of residential and commercial property, for sale and for rent, in 16 countries. Every property is one record with its full price and market history. [How the property graph is built](/docs/property-graph).

Resolve the place to a location id with `ma_get_location_typeahead`, fetch the series with `ma_get_time_series_data`, then calculate growth and volatility with `ma_get_time_series_operations`.

1. [`ma_get_location_typeahead`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/area-insights/get_location_typeahead): pass the place name in English and pick the `location_id` you want. Check the breadcrumbs when names repeat.
2. [`ma_get_time_series_data`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/area-insights/get_time_series_data): request `type_group` `apartment`, `business_type` `sale`, `data_point` `avg_price_psqm` and `date_interval` `month`, with a `date_range` and the location ids. Each point holds one period's value.
3. [`ma_get_time_series_operations`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/area-insights/get_time_series_operations): request the same segment with operations such as `mean`, `delta_pct`, `cagr`, `std` and `cv`.

Casafari's example question: How has the asking price per m² of flats in Valencia moved over the last three years? Over REST, [`POST /market-analytics-api/time-series`](https://platform.casafari.com/docs/rest/area-insights/time-series) returns the series.
