The FDZ Ruhr at RWI offers price indices for apartments and houses (rentals and sales) in Germany, commencing in 2008. The price indices are derived from the RWI-GEO-RED real estate dataset, which integrates real estate listings from ImmoScout24. Three types of hedonic regressions are performed to allow for comparisons across time (annual or quarterly), across regions (1 x 1 km, municipality, and district), and in combination across time and regions. Furthermore, starting with V13, we also offer a combined index, whereby all three data sources (apartment rents and sales, and house sales) are combined into a single index. The data are publicly available (PUF) and can be requested from the FDZ Ruhr website. A weakly anonymized version (SUF) is also available for researchers upon request.
