BIS quarterly house prices from national sources, adjusted for consumer price inflation. The original index is 2010 = 100; here it is rebased to the observed peak. Rent, costs, mortgages and taxes are excluded. Coverage and series breaks are retained in the detailed dataset. History is bounded by the source window.
