  • Warning: The recent increase in notary data cover rates may have an impact on the adjustments historically implemented to take into account the heterogeneity of coverage deficits in the calculation of the volume of transactions. 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.

For further information

The calculation of indices is based on the transactions completed over 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. Methodological principles of calculation of indices may be found in « Les indices Notaires-Insee de prix des logements anciens », Insee Méthodes number 132 released in June 2019 (in French only).
