According to Viktoras Račkovskis, Director of “1Partner LT”, the housing market currently remains fairly active, and liquidity is much better than a year ago. This has been driven most by a combination of factors—higher incomes, stabilising inflation, and a slowing rise in interest rates—which significantly improve the ability to purchase housing both for living and for investment. Trends such as the limited supply of new projects and rising construction costs, which support price growth in older-build housing in major cities, are also important. So far, the scenario is positive—the housing market is gradually recovering, and growth in both transactions and prices remains moderate.

About the “1PI” housing price index

The housing price index created by real estate company “1Partner LT” and its partners, the real estate institution “Realdata”, and introduced in autumn 2020, shows housing price changes across different zones in Vilnius, Kaunas, and Klaipėda.

When analysing the city of Vilnius, the “1PI” index monitors apartment price levels and changes across 6 different areas of the capital, from which the overall “1PI” indicator is calculated based on the weight of each area (the weight of the central part of the capital in the index is 0.19, the central residential districts 0.21, the southern part 0.08, the Soviet-era residential districts 0.38, the Pilaitė microdistrict 0.05, and the northern part 0.09). In these 6 monitored areas, the number of apartments accounts for about 89% of the capital’s apartment stock.

In Kaunas, apartment price levels are monitored across 3 different zones, from which the overall “1PI” indicator is calculated based on the weight of each zone (the weight of the central part in the index is 0.07, the western part 0.72, and the northern part 0.21). In these zones, the number of apartments accounts for 92% of Kaunas’ apartment stock.

In Klaipėda, apartment price levels are monitored across 4 different zones, from which the overall “1PI” indicator is calculated based on the weight of each zone (the weight of the central part in the index is 0.11, the southern part closer to the centre 0.19, the southern part further from the centre 0.61, and the northern part 0.09). In these zones, the number of apartments accounts for 99% of Klaipėda’s apartment stock.

Until now, housing price indices used in the country—created by Lithuanian institutions and other real estate companies—allowed only the monitoring of a generalised housing price change in a selected city.

“1PI”, which provides data starting from January 2000, is updated every month and is available to every resident of the country.

About “1Partner LT”

After establishing the brand “1Partner” in 2019, these companies have been operating together across the three Baltic States.
