Global Residential Cities Index


Global Residential Cities Index

The Global Residential Cities Index tracks mainstream house prices across 150 cities worldwide using data from official sources.

Key findings:

  • The annual increase in urban house prices has fallen below 10% for the first time since Q3 2021 as the higher interest rate environment starts to dampen demand and sales activity

  • Some 133 of the 150 cities tracked by the index recorded positive annual price growth in the year to Q3 2022, down only marginally from 138 last quarter.

  • Although city house prices are averaging stronger growth (9%) than national markets (8.8%), the gap in performance has narrowed in the last year.

  • 48 of the 150 cities tracked by index are still registering double-digit annual price growth down from 68 last quarter.

  • Hong Kong saw prices decline 7.1 % in the year to Q3 2022
