Indices of owner-occupied housing prices 2010=100

Statistics Finland's indices of owner-occupied housing prices consist of two index series. The first series, the index of owner-occupied housing expenditures describes the development of the costs of owner-occupied housing. The owner-occupied housing expenditures consists of the prices of new dwellings purchased by households and other costs of owner-occupied housing, like renovations. The second series, purchases of dwellings describes the price development of all dwellings. The index is based on the data in the statistics on prices of dwellings in housing companies and real estate prices. The calculation of the statistics is based on Council Regulation (EC) no. 93/2013.
