Residential Property Price Index, Vienna (2000=100)
Argentina.
Reporte Inmobiliario is a small firm which compiles its own time-series for Buenos Aires, with a large set of very specific databases, sold through a web portal and magazine. It releases many house price time-series for Buenos Aires; however the longest time-series for old apartments, starting 1981, is only biannual.
Australia.
There are two sources of house price time-series for Australia - the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) and the Real Estate Institute of Australia (REIA). The ABS releases quarterly average prices of established houses in the eight capital cities, while the REIA publishes median prices through their media press releases.
Austria.
The Oesterreichische National Bank (OeNB) releases a residential property price index that is calculated by the University of Technology in Vienna in cooperation with AiB (Austria Immobilienbörse, a platform of 18 real estate agencies). The index covers new and used condominiums and single family homes (15% new condominiums, 70% used condominiums and 15% single family homes). The time series are available for the whole country extending back to 2000, and for the capital Vienna starting in Q3 1986.
