Housing market data Q4/2021: Indices continue to rise at the end of the year

The indices for the rental, condominium and detached and semi-detached house sub-segments continued to rise in Q4/2021. The relative increase in advertised rents, at 1.2% on the last quarter and 5.8% on the same quarter of the previous year, continued to lag well behind the development of purchase prices. Prices for condominiums rose by 2.9% compared to Q3, prices for detached and semi-detached houses even by 3.1% compared to the last quarter.

Not only the prices offered, but also the construction costs have recently risen significantly, as can be seen from a press release of the Federal Statistical Office of 10.01.2022 (“Strongest increase in construction prices in 51 years”).
