According to Eurostat, the rents and house prices in the EU have continued their steady increase in the second quarter of 2022, going up by 1.7% and 9.9%, respectively, compared with the second quarter of 2021.
“House prices and rents in the EU followed a similar path between 2010 and the second quarter of 2011. However, after this quarter, house prices and rents have evolved differently. While rents increased steadily throughout this period up to the second quarter of 2022, house prices have fluctuated considerably,” Eurostat said.
“When comparing the second quarter of 2022 with 2010, house prices increased more than rents in 19 EU member states,” the statistics agency said.
