About this data
Quarterly analytical house price indicators for South Korea computed by the OECD: nominal and real house price indices (base 2015 = 100), the rent component of consumer prices, the price-to-income ratio that compares house prices with household disposable income per head, and the price-to-rent ratio that compares buying with renting. Each ratio is also given in standardised form where the long-term average of the series equals 100, which is the reading the OECD uses to say whether housing is dear or cheap by its own history rather than in absolute terms.
