A house price index tracks the transaction prices of residential dwellings over time, holding quality mix as close as the compiling agency can. Latest: 111.5 in Q1 2025.
An index is not a typical listing price and is not a valuation of any property. From Q1 1986 to Q1 2025 (157 quarters): latest 111.5 (Q1 2025), previous 111.1 (Q4 2024); low 35.5 (Q2 1987), high 121.3 (Q1 2022).
These figures are index levels, not currency prices or valuations of individual homes. With 2015=100, a reading of 130 means the index is 30% above its 2015 reference. House price indexes account for differences in dwelling quality and mix as their producers' methods allow; an ABS mean dwelling price series, where used, is not a quality-adjusted house price index.
Coverage and methods differ between economies. Compare changes over time rather than treating a higher index as evidence that homes cost more in one country. Rankings use each economy's latest available quarter, which may differ. The UK series uses quarterly averages rebased by Younivi to 2015=100. Any ABS mean-price series used for Australia is also rebased; check the source shown for the selected series.
Use the chart to follow a series, the table for exact quarters, and the range buttons to change the visible period. The all-countries desk includes every economy available under the reviewed source terms; country desks show the same figures for a selected economy and its related set. These figures do not give a typical asking price or predict the value of a property.
About this desk
The Korea desk places Korea alongside United States, Japan, Euro area, United Kingdom, Australia, where data are available for the selected measure. It shows the same series as the all-countries desk; the desk only filters the view.
For nominal house prices, the build chooses the longer current OECD or Eurostat series, with the later quarter breaking an equal-span tie. A current UK House Price Index takes precedence for the United Kingdom. Rebased ABS mean dwelling prices are an Australian fallback when the selected index is stale or short, but ABS must itself be current and offer the better eligible history; they are not a quality-adjusted HPI. The real index and price-to-income and price-to-rent measures come from OECD. Younivi derives year-over-year change from the published index. Check the source, licence and date shown on each page.
The chart and table show the same figures. The all-countries chart initially selects the twelve largest latest readings; the legend and filter can change that selection. The country selector changes desks, and range buttons change the visible period without changing the data. The methodology page explains source selection and rebasing.
