Transparent housing market data

Registered sales live in the Cadastre's Registry of Prices and Rents, but they are buried in quarterly PDFs with no usable text layer - you cannot search them and you cannot copy out of them. Listing sites, meanwhile, show asking prices rather than contracts that closed. This project pulls the figures out of those PDFs, ties them to the long-run NBRM/BIS index, and presents them readably in both languages, with a page reference for every value.

• Agency for Real Estate Cadastre

  Registry of Prices and Rents · quarterly and annual bulletins
• National Bank of Macedonia

  Quarterly house price index for the city of Skopje, compiled from apartments advertised for sale
• Bank for International Settlements

  International residential property price database
• FRED · St. Louis Fed

  Free API mirror of the BIS series (QMKN628BIS, QMKN368BIS, QMKR628BIS)
• State Statistical Office

  Average wages, building permits, dwelling completions

All values are pulled directly from these sources; nothing is scraped from a listing site.

Worth stating plainly, because the difference matters. The per-municipality prices, the sale counts and the market value all come from the Registry of Prices and Rents - those are contracts that closed. The house price index (charts 1, 2 and 4) is produced by the NBRM, but its own footnote says it is built from apartments advertised for sale in the city of Skopje. So: an official central-bank statistic, but compiled from asking prices rather than contracts. That is why the index is used for movement over time, while every euro level on this site comes from the Cadastre.

• BIS / NBRM index

  Weekly (cron, GitHub Actions)
  The script checks for new quarterly values and opens a pull request if anything changed. BIS publishes one to two quarters behind.
• Cadastre (quarterly)

  Quarterly, by hand
  The only source still done manually. The PDFs carry no usable text layer, so the tables are read off rendered pages. Updated roughly 4-6 weeks after the quarter closes.
• DZS (wages)

  Monthly, automated
  Average net wage from MakStat table 175 via the PXWeb API. Used on the Affordability page to set wages against prices.
• NBRM (mortgage rate)

  Monthly, automated
  Weighted rate on newly granted housing loans in denars with a currency clause - the dominant mortgage type here. Drives the 30-year mortgage calculator.
• Regional comparison

  Weekly, automated
  BIS indices for Serbia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Greece, Romania and Slovenia, through the same source as the Skopje index.

Every value on this site has a clear source: a reference down to the exact PDF page or the FRED/NBRM series it was extracted from.
