Definitions and explanations
Statistics Sweden’s official real estate price statistics are reported after the date of purchase, that is, the date when the buyer becomes the new owner of the acquired real estate. This item of statistics news contains both real estate price index and price statistics. Price statistics are based on a simpler method in relation to index. The basis for the price statistics and indices are the purchases that have been granted in the specific period. The difference is that indices are weighted with the stock of real estate. In cases where Statistics Sweden does not publish any real estate price index for a specific real estate category, price changes are calculated using price statistics. In price statistics, the price changes are estimated using the purchase price coefficient (K/T-tal). The purchase price coefficient is the purchase price (K) in relation to the assessed value (T) at a certain point in time.
