As it stands now, according to their estimates, owner-occupied homes will become on average 17.3 percent more expensive this year, which is much stronger than the forecast of a 12 percent price increase that was announced in December. Next year, prices would then go up by another 5.5 percent, where a plus of more than 3 percent was previously assumed. Because there are almost no houses left for sale, the number of transactions is expected to decrease to approximately 191,000 this year, before increasing again in 2023 to approximately 198,000 homes sold.
