Property Type Mappings

Within the API each property is returned with a numeric value representing it's property type.

The mappings below represent how Ripe defines each property type based on it's numeric value. You may choose to refer to that same value as a similar, but different name in your application.

For example, 51 = House but you may choose to map 51 to Home. Be mindful to always match to similar name types since that what the property is. For example, you wouldn't want to refer to 51 as Hotel.

Starting in early 2025 Ripe standardized the common property types being used. Most properties returned will be one of these. But you may also see additional property types in the response, which are also outlined below. See what happens with a free text field for years...consider yourself warned PMs and developers. ;)
