Source of primary data
CZSO, Flat Zone
Note
Realized prices. New apartments - these are the first sales.
In the case of Flat Zone's data, these are transaction prices for first sales of new flats in the (developer-client) relationship at the time of sale.
In the case of CSO data, it is a weighted average of partial results for Prague.
The methodology of the data is therefore different, which causes differences in the dynamics and level of the time series, especially in the short term.
