Housing prices, and property prices in general, may evolve differently from the prices of other consumer goods and all economic actors need to be aware of these differences.
The calculation of house price indices responds to a national and European imperative. They aim at enriching statistical information on the housing market in France.
The housing price index is composed of two indices: the old housing price index and the new housing price index.

Data have been published since early 2013 with a history dating back to 2000.
