About these reports
What are these market reports?
Each report is our own analysis of a country housing market for someone selling without an agent. It pairs sourced figures, such as prices and lending rates, with two numbers we calculate ourselves, the full cost to sell and what you keep by selling yourself, and ends with our outlook for the year ahead.
How often do you publish?
We add new reports on a regular schedule, working through the countries we cover. Each one shows the date it was published and the date it was last reviewed, and older reports are updated as the figures move.
Where do the numbers come from?
The market figures are sourced from primary bodies such as national statistics offices, central banks, and the BIS, all listed at the foot of each report. The cost-to-sell breakdown and the savings figure are our own calculation from those inputs, and the outlook is our reasoned view, not a guarantee.
