Measured
Currency movement
Not measured
This market's currency is the euro, so there is no euro reference rate for it and no entry window to state. For a euro-denominated buyer there is no currency move here at all; for anyone else the move is in their own currency against the euro, which this screen measures on the market they are coming from rather than the one they are going to.
Foreign-buyer rules
Not measured
No rule for this market has been read from an authority and cited yet. Absence here means nobody has checked, not that the market is open.
Cost of money
2.25%
The price of money to banks across the euro area, set by the European Central Bank rather than by anything in this country. It sets the floor everything else is priced from, and it is identical in every member state.
What it does not show. It is not a mortgage quote, and it is not a fact that distinguishes this market from any other euro-area member — the rate is the same in all of them, so it can never be the reason to prefer one over another. What differs between them is what a bank adds on top, which this does not measure. What a non-resident is offered is a different number again, usually much higher.
Supply against absorption
Not measured
No statistics agency for this market has been read and cleared for republication.
Residential price cycle
80.4 against a 2015 base of 100
House prices have risen more slowly than consumer prices since 2015, or fallen — the market is below its own inflation-adjusted level of that year.
What it does not show. It is a position, not a direction, and it is not a valuation. Deflating by consumer prices says nothing about what the asset yields or what credit costs, and a market can sit above its 2015 level for years without that meaning anything is due.
Valuation against its own history
78.5 to income, 91.3 to rent
Housing costs less relative to incomes than it did in 2015, on this country's own index. Affordability has improved against the local salary, which can mean prices fell or that incomes rose faster — the ratio does not say which.
What it does not show. It is not comparable to another country's figure. Each index is 100 in its own 2015, so two of these side by side are two different base years wearing the same label — a market at 120 is not dearer than one at 90, it has merely moved further from its own past. It is also not a forecast, and a ratio can stay stretched for a decade.
On the market now
Not measured
No listings platform has been read for this market. The one platform this site can read covers Russian cities only, and inventing a count for anywhere else would be worse than an empty row.
No dossier has been written for this market yet. What follows is the measured layers and the rules, each with its source — not an argument about whether to be here. A market reaches this page as soon as two layers can be cited, because an unwritten thesis is a reason to publish less, not a reason to publish nothing.
The series behind those figures, and the workings
Cost of money
2.25%
Central bank policy rate, 2026-07. Source: Bank for International Settlements.
This is the price of money to banks, not the price of money to a non-resident buying a building. The gap between those two is where a market’s financing story actually lives, and it is not in this number. A mortgage quote for a foreign buyer depends on the lender, the asset and the borrower, and no public dataset carries it.
BIS terms permit this figure on a free page and state that nothing in their statistics constitutes investment advice. They also allow inclusion in a commercial product only where it adds no charge, so this series is published here and is not priced into any paid work.
Background
Annual national statistics from the World Bank, under a licence that permits reuse with attribution. They describe the country; they do not time an entry, and they are not counted as measurements of this market — otherwise every territory on earth would claim to be measured on the strength of one dataset.

What is missing, and why

The dataset simply does not include this territory. Absent, not zero.

For a euro-denominated buyer there is no currency move here at all; for anyone else the move is in their own currency against the euro, which this screen measures on the market they are coming from rather than the one they are going to.

What supports this, what would make it wrong, and how it could go
Record
| Why this market is on the list | Added when the euro area was expanded into its member states. The cost-of-money layer here is the European Central Bank's rate, which is not a fact about this country in the way a national policy rate is a fact about Japan — it is identical in all twenty-one members and can never be the reason to prefer one over another. It is published because its absence was worse: without it this territory rendered on the coverage map exactly like one whose central bank publishes nothing at all. The valuation layer is this country's own, indexed to its own 2015. Euro adopted 1999. No rule for a foreign buyer here has been read from an authority. |

| Dossier | None written. Layers and rules only, which is why this market reads as “Measured” rather than reviewed. |
