− The annual variation rate of the HPI for the first quarter of 2008 stands at 2.8%.
− In the second quarter of 2008, the annual variation rate of the HPI decreases
more than three points, down to -0.3%.
− The quarterly variation rates for the first two quarters stand at -0.4% and -0.3%,
respectively.
− New housing registers a decrease of almost two points in its annual rate between
the first quarter and the second, dropping from 7.2% to 5.3%. On the other hand, the
interannual variation of second-hand housing decreases more than four points,
from -0.7% in the first quarter, to -4.9% in the second.
The interannual rate of the general Housing Price Index (HPI) in the second quarter of 2008
decreased somewhat more than three points, going from 2.8% in the first quarter of 2008 to -
0.3%, thereby standing at negative levels.
By type of housing, the greatest decrease corresponded to second-hand housing,
whose annual rate went from -0.7% in the first quarter to -4.9% in the second. New housing
also decreased, from a 7.2% annual variation in the first quarter of 2008 to 5.3% in the
second.
In the last year-and-a-half, the annual rate of the HPI decreased more than 13 points, from
13.1% in the first quarter of 2007 to -0.3% in the second quarter of 2008.
This decrease was more significant in second-hand housing, which went from a rate of
13.0% in the first quarter of 2007 to -4.9% in the last quarter. For new housing, the
descending trend was less pronounced, in such a way that it registered positive values
throughout the period considered (from 13.3% in the first quarter of 2007 to 5.3%).
