In metropolitan France, the quarterly variation (seasonally-adjusted) in the index of prices for new and second-hand dwellings in Q1 2026 has been revised downwards by 0.4 points (after rounding), due to the update of the seasonal adjustments: -0.2% instead of +0.2%.
As every year in Q2, the models used to calculate seasonal adjustments are indeed updated, which may lead to revisions of indicators over several years.
