What the price-to-rent ratio is

The OECD price-to-rent ratio compares nominal house prices with the rent-price index. A higher reading means purchase prices have outpaced rents relative to the index history. Latest: 133.9 in 2025 Q3.

This is an index of prices versus rents, not a typical asking rent and not a purchase price. From 1972 Q3 to 2025 Q3 (213 quarters): latest 133.9 (2025 Q3), previous 131.0 (2025 Q2); low 36.3 (1972 Q3), high 143.0 (2022 Q1).
