The Deloitte Develop Index monitors the qualitative and quantitative indicators of supply and demand on Prague’s development market. Its task is to describe, on a bi-monthly basis, the current state of the residential market and its development. The set of indicators is based solely on declaratory information obtained from the websites of individual development companies and pricelists of development projects. The basis of the index is formed by the numbers and proposed prices of vacant units under development projects towards the end of the monitored period.

The latest data indicates that the Czech Republic is the least affordable country for home ownership among the 18 countries surveyed. A standard new dwelling purchase requires Czechs to invest an equivalent of 13.3 gross annual salaries, a figure that has remained largely unchanged since the previous edition of the Property Index.

The Deloitte Rent Index summarises and analyses data regarding rental housing prices in the regions and regional capitals of the Czech Republic. This is the first data-driven index of its kind. It addresses rent offers in the area of prefabricated blocks of flats, brick houses and development projects. The index draws on quarterly collected data. The result of the data analysis provides a summary of average monthly rents per square metre. Thanks to a comparison with the previous quarter, this summary always offers an up-to-date view of trends in rental housing.
