European Central Bank — Residential Property Price Index Statistics (RPP)
Official residential property price index time series published by the European Central Bank as part of its Data Portal, distributed under the RPP dataflow via SDMX 2.1 REST. A single endpoint serves data in XML (SDMX-ML), CSV, and JSON formats, allowing users to extract specific series using key paths and parameters such as startPeriod, endPeriod, and lastNObservations. The same series can also be browsed and charted interactively on the ECB Data Portal. The dataset covers residential property price developments across European countries, supporting economic and housing market analysis.Residential Property Price Index Statistics (RPP) — official time series from the European Central Bank Data Portal, published as the RPP dataflow over SDMX 2.1 REST.
