DVF is published with a delay (registration/processing lag). We compute €/m² only for records with valid transaction value and built area, then aggregate by quarter using median/IQR (to reduce outliers). Use these figures as a directional indicator for trends and seasonality, not as an official appraisal. For a specific property, micro-location and building quality dominate.
