Motivation: Our national source for Colombia only a house price index, but only at nominal prices, and with a base period of 2014Q4.

Response: First, we have rebased the nominal index to our standardized HPI base period of 2010. Second, we have constructed a corresponding index at real prices.

Properties

• Measurements:
  • Nominal (value) index relative to 2010 (Index 2010=100)
  • Real (volume) index relative to 2010 (Vol. Index 2010=100)
• Adjustment: Seasonally adjusted (SA)
• Native frequency: Quarterly
• Start date: 1997Q1

The series reside in the historical catalog (Colombia » Real Estate » Residential » House price index) and are: 

• RHPIQ.ICOL  = House price index, (Index 2010=100, SA)
• RHPI$Q.ICOL = House price index, (Vol. Index 2010=100, SA)

Because catalog locations are subject to change, the upper-right search box on DataBuffet.com provides a "find in catalog" mode that accepts a mnemonic
