Median asking prices by country

Why median, not average

A handful of trophy listings can pull an average up by double digits. The median is robust to those outliers and better represents what a buyer actually faces in the market.

Asking versus achieved

Achieved prices normally land below asking, with the discount widening in slow markets and disappearing in hot ones. Read the asking series alongside the house price index to see which way negotiating power is moving.

Frequently asked questions

How large is the gap between asking and achieved price?

It varies by market and cycle. In tight markets properties can transact above asking, while in slow markets the discount to asking price widens.

What unit type is used?

A one-bedroom apartment in the main city, chosen because it is the most consistently available comparable across countries.
