Prices of dwellings rose in April to June

According to preliminary data, prices of dwellings rose during the second quarter of 2007. The prices of dwellings in old blocks of flats rose by an average of 1.3 per cent in the whole country when compared with the previous quarter. In Greater Helsinki prices went up by 1.1 per cent and in the rest of Finland by 1.5 per cent. These data derive from the statistics on the prices of dwellings compiled by Statistics Finland on the basis of the Tax Administration's data. Preliminary data comprise roughly two-thirds of the transactions in dwellings in old blocks of flats and in terraced housing.

In Helsinki the prices of dwellings in old blocks of flats rose by 1.3 per cent, in Vantaa by 1.1 per cent and in Espoo by 0.3 per cent from the previous quarter. In Tampere prices went up by 3.0 per cent, in Lahti by 2.6 per cent, in Oulu by 2.1 per cent, in Kuopio by 1.4 per cent and in Turku and Jyväskylä by 0.9 per cent.

The prices of dwellings in old blocks of flats rose in the whole country by an average of 6.3 per cent from the year before. In Greater Helsinki prices went up by 7.5 per cent and in the rest of Finland by 5.0 per cent.
