House prices in the UK rose dramatically during the coronavirus pandemic, with growth slowing down in 2022 and turning negative in 2023. The year-on-year annual house price change peaked at 14 percent in July 2022. In April 2025, house prices increased by 3.5 percent. As of late 2024, the average house price was close to 290,000 British pounds. Correction in housing prices: a European phenomenon The trend of a growing residential real estate market was not exclusive to the UK during the pandemic. Likewise, many European countries experienced falling prices in 2023. When comparing residential property RHPI (price index in real terms, e.g. corrected for inflation), countries such as Germany, France, Italy, and Spain also saw prices decline. Sweden, one of the countries with the fastest growing residential markets, saw one of the largest declines in prices. How has demand for UK housing changed since the outbreak of the coronavirus? The easing of the lockdown was followed by a dramatic increase in home sales. In November 2020, the number of mortgage approvals reached an all-time high of over 107,000. One of the reasons for the housing boom were the low mortgage rates, allowing home buyers to take out a loan with an interest rate as low as 2.5 percent. That changed as the Bank of England started to raise the base lending rate, resulting in higher borrowing costs and a decline in homebuyer sentiment.

For free and complete informations concerning CASSMIR datasets, please visit our website (in French).

The CASSMIR database (Contribution to the Spatial and Sociological Analysis of Residential Real Estate Markets) is a spatial and population datasets on housing property market of the Parisian metropolitan area, from 1996 to 2018. The indicators in the CASSMIR database cover four "thematic areas of investigation" : prices, socio-demographic profile of buyers and sellers, purchasing regimes and types of property transfers and types of real estate. These indicators characterize spatial units at three scales (communal level, 1km grid and 200m grid) and population groups of buyers and sellers declined according to social, generational and gender criteria. The delivery of the database follows a series of matching and aggregation of individual data from two original databases : a database on real estate transactions (BIEN database) and a database on first-time buyer investments (PTZ database). CASSMIR delivers aggregated data (with nearly 350 variables) in open access for non-commercial use.

This repository consists of sevenfiles.

"CASSMIR_SpatialDataBase" is a Geopackage file, it lists all the data aggregated to spatial units of reference. It is composed of three layers that correspond to the geographical scale of aggregation: at a communal level, a grid of one kilometer on each side and a grid of two hundred meters on each side.

"CASSMIR_GroupesPopDataBase" is a .csv file, it lists all the data aggregated to population groups of reference. There are three types of population groups : groups referenced by the social position of the buyers/sellers (social group), groups referenced by the age group to which the buyers/sellers belong (generational group), groups referenced by the sex of the buyers/sellers (gender group).

Two metadata files (.csv) lists the metadata of the indicators made available. They are systematically structured as follows :

• Id_var: the identifier of the variable contained in "CASSMIR_SpatialDataBase" or "CASSMIR_GroupesPopDataBase"
• Unite d'observation des variables descriptives : descriptive units of observation (Prices, buyers, sellers...)
• Type d'information : precision on the type of information
• Label : Description of the contents of the variable
• Indicator_Group: The group of indicators to which the variable relates (prices, socio-demographics indicators of buyers and sellers...)
• Unit : The unit of measurement of the variable
• Spatial_Availability : A precision on the availability of the variable in the spatial database (communes, 1 km grid and 200m grid)
• GroupesPop_Availability : A precision on the availability of the variable in the population groupes database (Social, generational , gender)
• Data_Source: The main origin of the data (INSEE, BIEN and/or PTZ)
• Remarques : possible remarks on the construction of the variable

"BIENSampleForTest" and "PTZSampleForTest" are two .txt files which restore a sample of individual data from each of the original databases. All data were anonymized and the values randomized. These two files are specifically dedicated to reproducing the different stages of processing that lead to the production of the CASSMIR files ("CASSMIR_SpatialDataBase" or "CASSMIR_GroupesPopDataBase") and cannot be used in any other way.

"LEXIQUE" is a glossary of terms used to name the variables (.csv).

The creation of the database was funded by the National Reseach Agency (ANR WIsDHoM https://anr.fr/Projet-ANR-18-CE41-0004).
