Additional information
Some of the figures from the house price index are available as open data with API.
The house price index reported to Eurostat will differ slightly from the one published on our own webpage. The reason is that Eurostat weights the sub-indices to a total index by the value of the transacted dwellings, and not by the value of the housing stock.
