METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
The Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia will subsequently obtain a larger number of sales of new residential real estate for 2021, so we will carry out an unplanned revision of the Residential housing price indices, Owner occupied housing price indices and House sales data for this year. The revised data are expected to be published on 23 June 2022.
