Compared with as a whole (+7.%), prices increased at a slower pace, but, at +.9%, quarter-on-quarter growth was still substantial. While prices in continued to stabilize, the rest of experienced accelerated price growth. Against the previous quarter, prices in remained almost unchanged (+.%) in the second quarter of 7; in excluding, however, a strong price hike of +.% was observed. Residential construction in finally overcame its long period of weak growth in the first half of 7. Residential construction investment, construction output and hours worked all increased markedly. At +.%, the number of property transactions rose only slightly against the first half of. The OeNB fundamentals indicator for residential property prices in remained high against the previous quarter, amounting to.% in the quarter ending in June 7. For as a whole, the indicator reached 9.%, signaling that also residential property prices throughout are increasingly diverging from prices justified by fundamentals. The growth of housing loans to households started to accelerate slightly in mid- 7, and borrowing conditions remained favorable also in August. The share of foreign currency loans in outstanding housing loans, while continuing its downtrend, still remained large in August. Similarly, the percentage of variable rate loans, which is very high by international standards despite having considerably contracted recently, still implies substantial interest rate risk. Increase in residential property prices slows down in, price growth in the rest of accelerates Price growth accelerates outside of and stabilizes in The results of the residential property price index published by the OeNB in cooperation with the University of Technology show a year-on-year plus of.% in for the second quarter of 7. Prices in rose by.% year on year, but almost stagnated quarter on quarter both in the first and the second quarter of 7. By contrast, in excluding, an opposite development was observed in the first six months of 7, with price growth accelerating after having decreased in the third and fourth quarter of Oesterreichische Nationalbank, Economic Analysis Division, martin.schneider@oenb.at, karin.wagner@oenb.at and walter.waschiczek@oenb.at.

The housing construction output index and the number of hours worked in construction also increased strongly in the first half of 7, clearly reflecting the pickup in residential construction investment. With the latter accounting for a GDP share of.% (EU average:.7%), only ranks eleventh in the European Union, however. The number of building permits rose by % in (: +%). Data available up to the first quarter of 7 suggest a weakening of momentum. At 7. permits per, inhabitants, took the top spot in the respective European Union ranking in.

The number of transactions hardly rose (+.%) against the first half of. After three years of exceptionally strong growth of 9% in total, the number of property transactions thus stagnated at a high level in the first six months of 7. The numbers for as a whole, however, mask substantial differences among the individual provinces.
