idealista property price index
To create the idealista property price index, the offer prices (based on built square meters) published by idealista advertisers are analyzed. Atypical advertisements and those with out-of-market prices are eliminated from the statistics.
We also include the “single-family houses” typology and discard all ads that are in our database and that have not been interacted with by users for some time. The final result is obtained through the median of all valid advertisements in each market.
