Housing prices in the European Union increased by 60% over the last ten years.

• The exact figure depends on the reference period chosen: Eurostat's Housing in Europe 2025 publication reports a 53% rise in EU house prices between 2010 and 2024, while the figure reaches about 65% for the period 2015 to Q4 2025 (most recent data available before the session date).
• For context, over the same 2010-2024 period EU rents rose by only about 25% and general inflation by 39%, so house prices clearly outpaced both.
• The claimed 60% does not appear verbatim in any Eurostat source; it sits between the 53% (to 2024) and 65% (to Q4 2025) official figures.
