In Q3 2018, home prices in the Czech Republic rose 8.7%. Prices were up 6.5% in Poland, 4.4% in Slovakia, and 15.1% in Slovenia, putting Hungary closer to the median rate of price increases in the EU, Eurostat noted. 

Two countries registered a year-on-year decrease, as prices fell by 2.1% in Sweden and 0.8% in Italy in the quarter.

Compared with the second quarter of 2018, house prices increased by 1.6% in the euro area, while rising by 1.5% in the EU as a whole, in the third quarter of last year.
