Data Change: Norway - HPI for existing dwellings - Rebased to 2015
Tuesday, 23 May 2017 11:47 ET
By Rosemary Herrmann
Summary
April 2017 -- For the house price index for existing dwellings for Norway, concurrent with dissemination of values for January 2017, the source has advanced the base year from 2005 to 2015 (eight quarterly series 1992-2016, replaced from 1992).
Detail

In response, we have archived the predecessors (2005=100, 1992Q1 to 2016Q4) by marking metadata as "discontinued" and by segregating in the catalog. The replacements (2015=100) have an unchanged start date. Reported figures are available in two presentations, not seasonally adjusted (NSA) and seasonally adjusted (SA).

The series reside in the historical catalog (Norway » Real Estate » Residential » Prices » Price index) under the 2005 and 2015 nodes. We have also taken this opportunity to standardize mnemonics. The eight pairs of series are:

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. 

Please be aware that:

  • Norway produces a separate set of HPIs for new dwellings (see related article). It no longer produces an index that combines new and existing dwellings.
