House price to rent ratio
The house-price-to-rent-ratio measures the evolution of house prices compared to rents. It is calculated by dividing the median house price by the median annual rent. In this statistic, the values have been normalized with 100 equaling the 2015 ratio. Consequentially, a value under 100 means that rental rates have risen more than house prices. Compared to the OECD countries average, the gap between house prices and rents in the United States was wider.
Ratio in different countries
The house price to rent ratio followed a similar trend in the United Kingdom, despite the ratio seeing a slight decrease in the second quarter of 2020. In Germany and the Netherlands, however, growth was uninterrupted by the pandemic.
