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: 129.5 in 2026 Q1.

This is an index of prices versus rents, not a typical asking rent and not a purchase price. From 1970 Q1 to 2026 Q1 (225 quarters): latest 129.5 (2026 Q1), previous 129.6 (2025 Q4); low 88.6 (2007 Q1), high 160.0 (1981 Q2).
