Each change compares the average of everything registered in one period with the period before. It moves with the mix of homes sold as well as with prices, so it is not like-for-like growth.
Read with care: this change is 100% or more. That usually means a different mix of homes was registered in this period, such as the first sales in a new project or larger homes, not that like-for-like prices moved this much.
Average annual rent on registered tenancy contracts, new contracts and renewals reported separately.
