Technical information The house price index measures the price evolution of real estate prices on the market of private property. The index follows price changes of new or existing residential real estate purchased by households, irrespective of their purpose (letting or owner-occupying). Only market prices are taken into account. Houses built by their owners are therefore not included. The price of the building plot is included in the house price. The house price index is based on real estate transaction data from the General Administration of the Patrimonial Documentation of the FPS Finances. The prices used are those included in the deeds of sale. Given the time between the date on which the preliminary sales agreement is signed and the date on which the deed is executed (between three and four months), this index measures the price evolution with a delay compared to the actual date on which the sales price is set. This delay is inherent to the data source. The house price index is calculated by the European Union Member States, Norway and Iceland. Eurostat calculates the index for the Euro area (as well as for the European Union as a whole) using the harmonised indices of the Member States. Given the role of the housing market in the economic and financial crisis of 2008, the house price index was included in the indicators used in the procedure for macroeconomic imbalances procedure of the European Union. The house price index is calculated under the European Regulation 2016/792 on harmonised indices of consumer prices and the house price index and 2023/1470 laying down the methodological and technical specifications as regards the house price index and the owner-occupied housing price index. Data are available from 2005 onward for Belgium as well as for the European Union and the majority of European countries. The house price index can be broken down by new houses and existing houses. The weights of these two items in the overall index are determined by the gross fixed capital formation in houses (for the new houses) and the total value of transactions of the previous year (for the existing houses). Until 2013, the house price index of new houses was roughly estimated based on the output price index in the construction sector. Since 2014, it is also based on real estate transaction data. House price index for existing houses is available per region since 2010. Therefore, data were completely reviewed for the publication of results in the 4th quarter of 2023 in 2024. Since the houses that are put up for sale differ from one quarter to another, the changes in characteristics are processed with hedonic regression models to eliminate price fluctuations due to changes in characteristics of the properties sold. These models aim to estimate the theoretical price based on the characteristics and location of the houses sold. This theoretical price is then compared to the actual price. Two indices are calculated, one with the actually observed transaction prices and the other with the prices estimated by the regression models. The final index is obtained by calculating the ratio of the index obtained with the actual transaction prices compared to the index obtained with the estimated prices. Therefore, the house price index may be evolving differently from the observed average prices.

This statistic shows the house price index in Belgium from the first quarter of 2016 to the second quarter of 2020. In the quarter ending June 2020, the house price index stood at 117.05.
