The average annual inflation rate of the IMPI for 2020 of 2.5% corresponds to the rate of change between the annual average for 2020 and that for 2019. The annual average is calculated as the arithmetic average value of the four quarterly indices of the calendar year.

In the fourth quarter of 2020 the increase of the IMPI compared with the previous quarter was 2.3%. The prices for both single-family houses (+1.5%) and condominiums (+3.1%) increased. Both market segments showed higher prices in all municipality types than in the previous quarter. The increase in prices for single-family houses was particularly marked in intermediary municipalities (+2.4%). The prices for condominiums increased most in the rural municipalities (+5.2%). |
