Global house prices experienced a significant shift in 2022, with advanced economies seeing a notable decline after a prolonged period of growth. The real house price index (adjusted for inflation) for advanced economies peaked at nearly *** index points in early 2022 before falling to around ***** points by the second quarter of 2023.

Inflation and slow economic growth have been the primary drivers for the cooling of the housing market. Secondly, the growing gap between incomes and house prices since 2012 has decreased the affordability of homeownership. Last but not least, homebuyers in 2024 faced dramatically higher mortgage interest rates, further contributing to worsening sentiment and declining transactions.

Prospective homeowners priced out of the market Recent house price increases reflect the ongoing challenges of housing affordability in Australia. Property prices largely outpace income growth, reigniting discussions about whether the country is stuck in a property bubble, a topic that has been debated for over a decade. The country’s house price-to-income ratio hit ***** in the second quarter of 2024, the highest ratio recorded over the past five years, making it increasingly difficult to get on the property ladder. Unaffordable rental conditions Australia’s rental market has also seen challenges, with the rent price index continuing to climb throughout 2024 into the first quarter of 2025, making the prospect of renting less appealing. As of March 2025, the average weekly house rent price in Sydney stood at *** Australian dollars, the highest across the country’s major cities. Canberra, Darwin, and Perth were the next most expensive markets for house rents, while Hobart was the most affordable capital city for both house and unit rent prices.

Portugal, Canada, and the United States were the countries with the highest house price to income ratio in 2024. In all three countries, the index exceeded 130 index points, while the average for all OECD countries stood at 116.2 index points. The index measures the development of housing affordability and is calculated by dividing nominal house price by nominal disposable income per head, with 2015 set as a base year when the index amounted to 100. An index value of 120, for example, would mean that house price growth has outpaced income growth by 20 percent since 2015. How have house prices worldwide changed since the COVID-19 pandemic? House prices started to rise gradually after the global financial crisis (2007–2008), but this trend accelerated with the pandemic. The countries with advanced economies, which usually have mature housing markets, experienced stronger growth than countries with emerging economies. Real house price growth (accounting for inflation) peaked in 2022 and has since lost some of the gain. Although, many countries experienced a decline in house prices, the global house price index shows that property prices in 2023 were still substantially higher than before COVID-19. Renting vs. buying In the past, house prices have grown faster than rents. However, the home affordability has been declining notably, with a direct impact on rental prices. As people struggle to buy a property of their own, they often turn to rental accommodation. This has resulted in a growing demand for rental apartments and soaring rental prices.

Basierend auf den Immobiliendaten der Internetplattform ImmobilienScout24 werden Immobilienpreisindizes auf Arbeitsmarktregions-, Kreis- und Gemeindeverbandsebene geschätzt. Der Index basiert auf einer hedonischen Preisfunktion, in der für objektspezifische Charakteristika kontrolliert wird. Die hedonische Preisfunktion wird für Häuserkäufe, Wohnungesmieten und Wohnungskäufe getrennt geschätzt. Es werden drei verschiedene Funktionen geschätzt, wobei eine die zeitliche Entwicklung in Deutschland zwischen Januar 2008 und Juni 2022 auf Jahres- und Quartalsebene für Kreise abbildet. Die zweite fängt in einer Querschnittregression die regionalen Unterschiede zwischen Januar 2008 und Juni 2022 ein und wird für alle drei Regionstypen jährlich und für das zweite Quartal in 2022 für Kreise und Arbeitsmarktregionen ausgewiesen. Eine dritte untersucht den fixen, regionalen und zeitlichen Effekt zwischen Januar 2008 und Juni 2022; hieraus werden für alle drei Regionstypen Preisänderungsraten zum Basisjahr 2008 ermittelt und ausgewiesen. Die Definition der Arbeitsmarktregionen folgt RWI (2018). Based on the RWI-GEO-RED data that base on the data provided by ImmobilienScout24 hedonic housing price indices are estimated. The indices are on the labor market distict, district/county and municipality level (Gemeindeverbaende). We conduct a hedonic price regression that covers characteristics of the object as well as regional fixed effects. The hedonic regression is estimated separately for houses for sale as well as apartments for rent and for sale. There are three different specifications: first, the overall time development from 1/2008 to 06/2022 on district level given yearly and quaterly; second, cross-regional differences for each year separately and time development within one region from 1/2018 to 06/2022 (municipality, district and labor market region) and for the second quarter of 2022 (district and labor market region); third, the time-region fixed effect between 2008 and 2022, which is used to determine the price changes for all three region types to the base year of 2008. The definition of labor market areas rely on RWI (2018). RWI-GEO-REDX Other Die Preisindizes basieren auf den RWI-GEO-RED Daten.
