The Analysis of Differences in Residential Property Price Indices

Abstract

Residential property price indices can serve as a useful tool in the practice of real property market analysts, investment advisers, property developers, certified property appraisers, estate agents and managers. They can also be applied in property price valorization in specific legal positions. The Polish Act on Real Estate Management puts an obligation on the President of the Central Statistical Office to announce real property price indices, but the CSO fails to fulfill this obligation. The author's rationale for this article is to contribute to works on rules of how to build property price indices. Presented within are the results of research on determining the price indices of such types of residential property as: a part of a building constituting a separate property and strata titles in housing cooperatives. The flats were divided into categories by floor area and by their location in 16 voivodeship capitals. The major purpose of the study is to prove that the prices of flats of different floor area change at different rates. Consequently, it seems worth considering whether a more detailed segmentation of the real estate market would be worthwhile for the sake of more accurate real property price indicators.

“…Real estate prices decreased significantly in late 2008 and began to stabilize in 2009, which is why 2010 was chosen as the starting point in the analysis. The changes on the Polish housing market have been discussed extensively in numerous research studies (Brzezicka et al, 2018;Dittmann, 2013;Głuszak, 2015;Heldak, 2017;Kokot, 2014;Rącka et al, 2017;Rącka & Khalil ur Rehman, 2018;Trojanek, 2021).
