Transactions (Maa-amet) · second quarter of 2026 (April–June) · preliminary
Actual apartment deals per Maa-amet in the latest full quarter. Asking — current apartment sale listings. Maa-amet has not entered the whole quarter yet: the median is already telling, the deal count will still grow.
26 % of listings are new builds, against 6 % of deals. So we compare flats of the same build years, not all of them at once.
A square metre of a small apartment (under 30 m²) is 11 % cheaper in deals than one of 55–70 m².
