About
Analysing the fluctuations in housing markets across the globe provides a unique lens into economic health and consumer stability. These statistics, curated by the Bank for International Settlements, track residential property price indicators across dozens of nations. The collection includes both nominal and real series—where price data is adjusted for inflation using the consumer price index—allowing for a detailed examination of market trends in terms of both absolute levels and percentage growth. It serves as a vital tool for assessing global financial stability and property market cycles over more than half a century.
Columns
- date: The specific point in time the record represents, covering intervals from the mid-sixties through to late 2017.
- country: The national or economic territory associated with the price indices, representing 61 unique entities including various emerging market economies.
- price: The numerical value of the residential property price indicator, provided as either an index level or a growth rate.
Distribution
The information is presented in a CSV file titled
nominal-index_csv.csv, with a file size of approximately 307.82 kB. The dataset contains 12,600 valid entries for dates and countries, though specific price metrics are populated for 4,561 of these records. It maintains a usability score of 10.00 and is updated on an annual basis to reflect the latest global economic shifts.Usage
This resource is ideal for conducting cross-country comparisons of housing market volatility and potential real estate bubbles. It is well-suited for economic modelling where researchers need to deflate nominal prices using the consumer price index to understand real-world purchasing power. Additionally, financial analysts can use the growth rate data to forecast future market trends or assess the impact of monetary policy on property values across different economic zones.
Coverage
The geographic scope is international, featuring 61 unique countries and regions, with a specific focus on emerging market economies. Temporally, the archive offers deep historical context, starting in March 1966 and extending through September 2017. While the date and country fields are fully populated, price availability varies by region and year, with roughly 36% of the price column containing valid numerical entries.
