Figures are medians and percentiles of the listings Arkon currently tracks, converted to EUR — not a market index and not a market median. Each source feed is fetched as a single page of 30 results with a €100,000 minimum price, so the sample is the lower end of each market rather than a cross-section of it. Some markets, including Milan and Madrid, contain judicial-auction and no-possession lots whose prices are reserves or reflect the loss of possession, not asking prices. Rental yields are omitted because rent comparables are not yet held for these markets. Read the methodology.
