According to revised data, in the first and second quarter of 2022, an increase of 10.9 percent and 11.0 percent, year-on-year, respectively, was recorded in prices for new apartments, whereas for older apartments the prices increased by 9.0 percent and 9.5 percent.
In 2021, the average annual rates of increase were 8.1 percent and 7.2 percent for the prices of new and old apartments, respectively.
