Revised data on residential real estate published for 2024

The Surveying and Mapping Authority of the Republic of Slovenia (GURS) subsequently shared data on a larger number of sales of new residential real estate for 2024. Therefore, we revised the house price indices, owner occupied housing price indices and house sales data. Revised detailed data are published in the SiStat Database.

In 2024, dwelling prices increased by 7.6% over the previous year (before the revision by 8.5%). The prices of newly built dwellings (new flats and family houses together) were on average higher by 3.6% (before the revision by 9.5%).

The total value of housing transactions for all newly built dwellings sold in 2024 was EUR 220.9 million (before the revision EUR 125.1 million). In total, 764 newly built dwellings were sold (before the revision 413).

METHODOLOGICAL NOTE
Data for 1st quarter of 2025 are provisional. Final data for 2025 are expected to be published in June 2026.

In the 1st quarter of 2025, some methodological changes were made. As in the previous years, weights were changed. They are based on the annual value of transactions of individual types of dwellings from the previous year, recalculated to nominal value. We also incorporated the updated values of the residential property valuation models into regression models.

Additional explanations are available in the methodological explanations.
