House prices in the European Union have risen by more than 60% since 2013.

Omissions

• Eurostat publishes the EU house price increase using base years 2010 and 2015, not 2013: +60.5% (2010→Q2 2025) and +63.6% (2015→Q3 2025). The exact 2013 baseline is not directly published, but since 2013 marked the trough of EU house prices, the increase from 2013 exceeds the published 63.6% figure.
• The original speech also mentions transport costs ('značajno su porasli i troškovi prijevoza'), which is a different indicator and was not part of the normalized claim verified here.
• Eurostat's published data describe the period up to Q3 2025, i.e. before the session date of 7 October 2026; the MEP could have known these figures.
