The 'National and Regional House Price Indices' dataset mainly contains quarterly statistics and related methodological information for all OECD member countries and some non-member countries.
Whenever possible, this dataset focuses on comparable series for 3 target RPPI indicators:
1) RPPI for newly-built and existing dwellings, all types of dwellings, whole country;
2) RPPI for newly-built dwellings, all types of dwellings, whole country and;
3) RPPI for existing dwellings, all types of dwellings, whole country.
Data are available at a quarterly frequency for all countries. For Canada, Ireland, Iceland, Israel, Japan, Korea, Turkey, United Kingdom, China and South Africa monthly data are also available.
Types of dwelling - The classification and terminology may differ significantly from country to country.
• 'All types of dwellings' refers to all dwellings purchased by households regardless of their structural characteristics, e.g. detached houses, semi-detached houses, terraced houses, row houses or townhouses, multi-family apartments, condominiums, and coops.
• 'Single-family dwellings' are generally free standing residential buildings, e.g. detached houses
• 'Multi-family dwellings' are multiple separate housing units for residential inhabitants contained within one building or several buildings within one complex, e.g. apartment buildings, duplex or semi-detached houses, and townhouses.
International guidelines for the compilation of RPPIs are given in the Handbook on Residential Price Property Indices published in 2013.
