Revisions
The second-hand housing price index is revised to include observations recorded after the previous publication.
In comparison with the results released on 7 January 2019, the change in prices in Q3 2018 in metropolitan France has however not been revised. The overall change in prices in Q3 2018 stands at +1.0% compared to Q2 2018.
For further information
The calculation of the indexes is based on the transactions completed during the quarter. The methodology is based on models explaining the price of housing according to its characteristics. With these models, the current value of a reference housing stock is estimated. Methodological principles of calculation of indexes are found in « Les indices Notaires-Insee de prix des logements anciens », Insee Méthodes n° 128 released in July 2014.
When this Informations Rapides is published, around 30 indexes for big cities are not yet available. Between two publications, at the middlequarter, the Insee Macro-economic database (BDM) and the historical data available on the web page of the index are updated to incorporate this information and update the data previously released.
