Housing prices are increasing across European capitals

Omissions

• The MEP spoke about 'European capitals' specifically, but official data primarily covers EU/euro area aggregates rather than capital-city specific figures. Individual capital cities may show varying trends, though the overall direction is upward.
• The Eurostat Housing in Europe 2025 edition was published after the claim date, though it covers data periods (2010-2024) that were available earlier.
• Specific data for individual capital cities (Berlin, Paris, Madrid, etc.) is not provided in the aggregate Eurostat statistics.
