Regional Real Estate Price Indices for Germany, 2008 – 2019: RWI–GEO–REDX
An important issue in the current German public and political discourse is the development of housing prices. Sharply increasing rent and purchasing prices, shortage of living space in urban areas and rural exodus are some of the discussed problems. Despite its topicality, few indices are available on the recent development of housing prices in Germany. To fill this gap, the RWI-GEO-REDX dataset quantifies regional differences in house purchase, apartment rent and purchase prices on the level of districts (Kreise, NUTS 3-level) and municipalities (Gemeindeverband, LAU 1-level) as well as labor market areas defined by RWI (2018).
