Total Value of Properties

Value of Residential Properties

Rental Price Development

3.6 d. Þróun leiguverðs

This graph shows the development of rental prices in Húsavík.

There are a few things to keep in mind when examining the graph.

  • The information only extends to notarized rental agreements.
  • The median price per square metre cannot be published outside of Húsavík since notarized rental agreements are often too few (less than 5). 
  • Student apartments, social housing and service apartments are not part of the information on median price per square metre. 
  • The information only extends to residential properties since information on commercial property is not maintained.

On Index

Rateable value creates a basis for levies and is for example the basis for the charge of stamp duty for notarizing contracts of sale and, for some loan agencies, the mortgageability of real estate. Price level in February determines the rateable value each year. Increased demand for housing with an increase in population, tourism and industry can affect the rental prices.

Overall evaluation of real estate, residential properties and commercial properties will be published in this index along with information on rental prices based on notarized rental agreements.

Frequency

Yearly.

Area

Central area and rental prices only for Húsavík.
