House prices across the European Union rose 4.7% year-on-year in the second quarter, with a 1.2% increase compared to the previous quarter, according to data reported by Anadolu Agency.
Among EU member states, Portugal recorded the largest annual gain in house prices during the period, according to the figures. The data points to continued upward pressure on housing costs across much of the bloc, a trend that has drawn scrutiny from policymakers concerned about housing affordability for residents.
The report did not break down figures for every individual member state or specify the methodology behind the aggregate EU figure beyond the quarterly and annual comparisons cited. Rising house prices have been a persistent theme across European economies in recent years, driven by a combination of limited housing supply, demand pressures and financing costs that vary by country.
Further country-by-country detail, including figures for the largest EU economies, was not included in the initial report. The data adds to the broader picture of housing market trends being tracked by EU statistical authorities through the year.
