Statistics of market value of housing
The analysis results of the current statistical reporting on the volume and market value of the housing stock, in author’s opinion, have shown that they do not meet the requirements due to a number of issues of methodological and practical matter. Improvements in statistical reporting can not be achieved by local corrections, but is only possible using a drastically improved alternative methodology for data collection and compilation. This methodology was developed at the Statistics Institute of Rosstat within the framework of the selected unified analytical complex entitled «Availability, market price and the cost of the housing stock» of the Russian Federation and each of the regions. Based on this methodology the program of experimental calculations, conducted jointly by the National Accounts Department of the Federal State Statistics Service in eight constituent entities of the Russian Federation, is presented. Obtained results, with account for which practical possibility of solving the existing problems in the statistics of the market value of housing is substantiated, are discussed.
