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

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