Prices of dwellings rose in January to March

According to preliminary data, prices of dwellings rose during the first quarter of 2007. The prices of dwellings in old blocks of flats rose by an average of 1.5 per cent in the whole country when compared with the previous quarter. In Greater Helsinki prices went up by 1.7 per cent and in the rest of Finland by 1.3 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 Lahti prices went up by 0.9 per cent, in Turku by 0.8 per cent, in Kuopio by 0.6 per cent and in Jyväskylä by 0.3 per cent. Prices fell by 2.2 per cent in Oulu and by 0.9 per cent in Tampere

The prices of dwellings in old blocks of flats rose in the whole country by an average of 6.4 per cent from the year before. In Greater Helsinki prices went up by 7.7 per cent and in the rest of Finland by 5.0 per cent. According to final data, roughly 69,500 transactions in dwellings were completed in 2006, which is roughly 5 per cent down from 2005.
