Definitions and explanations

Price changes are estimated using the purchase price coefficient (K/T). K/T is the ratio between the price and the assessed value for a certain time and is counted as an unweighted mean value.

One-or two-dwelling buildings for permanent dwelling include detached one-or two-dwelling buildings, terraced houses and linked buildings. Real estate with site leasehold rights is included.
