National prices peaked in mid-2022 and then fell until mid-2023. Because prices have risen again in recent quarters, many municipalities have reached new record prices, CBS says. The national rise is levelling off, however.
The monthly figure for September 2026 was 2.9% above a year earlier. That compares with 11.5% in October 2024.
