Methodological information
The house price index (HPI) is a quarterly indicator that measures the changes in the dwellings transaction prices that households acquire on the market. The house price index is a quality-adjusted index, i.e. it reflects pure price changes, excluding structural and qualitative differences in dwellings composition between periods.
The HPI covers all purchases of dwellings between households on the one part, and legal entities, municipalities, and government on the other part, as well as between two or more households, regardless of the purpose for which the property is acquired and type of its subsequent use.
Compilation methodology of the house price index is available in the Official statistics portal section Reference metadata.
