In Q1 2022, prices of second-hand dwellings in Île-de-France increased anew: +0.7% compared to Q4 2021, after -0,1% in Q4 2021 and +1.4% in Q3 2021.

Over a year, prices also increased: +2,5% between Q1 2021 and Q1 2022, after +2.3% in Q4 2021 and +4.0% in Q3 2021. The increase was much stronger for house prices (+5.7% over a year, after +6.6% in Q4 2021 and +7.0% in Q3 2021) than it was for flats (+0.9% over a year, after +0.3% and +2,6%).

Pending more time to better know these impacts, the uncertainty on the estimate of the volume from Q3 2021 onwards may be slightly increased.

Revisions

The second-hand housing price index may be revised in order to include observations recorded after the previous publication.

In comparison with the results released on 24 February 2022, the q-o-q change in prices in Q4 2021 in France (excluding Mayotte) was revised downward by 0.1 points: the definitive estimate is +1,6%, while the estimate published initially was +1,7%.

For further information

The calculation of indices is based on the transactions completed during the quarter. The methodology is based on models explaining the price of housing according to its characteristics. The current value of a reference housing stock is estimated thanks to these models.
