The idealista house price index
The idealista real estate price index is compiled from the analysis of offer prices (based on square meters built) published by idealista advertisers. In March 2023, we improved our methodology to eliminate atypical products and duplicates, after which the historical series was regenerated. In addition, atypical listings and listings with off-market prices are removed from the statistics. We include the typology of single-family houses (villas) and eliminate properties of any typology that have been in our database for a long time without obtaining interaction from users. The final data is generated using the median of all valid listings in each market.
Data collected and analyzed by idealista/data, idealista's proptech that provides information to a professional audience to facilitate strategic decision-making, both in Spain, Italy and Portugal. It uses all the parameters of the idealista database in each country, as well as other public and private data sources, to offer valuation, investment, recruitment and market analysis services.
