Excluding small units, home prices in the central region held flat in July, after expanding by 1.1 percent during the previous month. Prices in the non-central region climbed one percent, up from the 0.7 percent hike registered in June.

The central region sub-basket comprises properties located in postal districts 1 to 4 as well as 9 to 11, while properties in the other postal districts fall under the non-central region sub-basket.

Meanwhile, prices of small units measuring 506 sq ft or below fell 0.8 percent, reversing the 0.6 percent increase posted in June.
