The present study aimed to understand the determinants of apartment prices in Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul (RS), which stand out in the real estate market scenario. Adopting a quantitative approach and analyzing data provided by the municipal government, the research explored the relationship between the number of bedrooms, apartment size, apartment position, neighborhood, and the number of bathrooms with the value of private square meters (m²). The results emphasized the influence of the number of bedrooms, apartment size, apartment position, and neighborhood on the price per m², identifying that one-bedroom apartments in the smaller size range (31 to 45 m²), positioned laterally, and located in the city center showed higher appreciation. Additionally, this work revealed significant implications at various stages of the real estate process, providing relevant information for developers, brokers, investors, and entrepreneurs. A deep understanding of these factors contributes to more informed and strategic decisions within the sector. In summary, the research offers crucial insights into understanding the real estate market in Santa Maria, RS, consolidating the observation of the trend towards a preference for compact apartments in the city. The study contributes to the existing body of knowledge, providing a comprehensive overview of the factors shaping the local real estate market.
