House prices and rents in the EU followed a similar pattern between 2010 and the second quarter of 2011 but have since evolved differently. While rents have increased steadily, house prices have followed a more variable pattern, combining periods of decline followed by rapid increases. Between 2010 and the second quarter of 2024, house prices increased by 52% and rents by 25%.
