JAKARTA - Bank Indonesia (BI) reports that the national property market has yet to find a steady growth momentum after the COVID-19 pandemic. This can be seen from the results of the Residential Property Price Survey (SHPR) conducted some time ago.
Head of the BI Communications Department, Erwin Haryono, said residential property prices grew limited in the third quarter of 2021 which was reflected in the increase in the Residential Property Price Index (IHPR) of 1.41 percent on an annual basis (year-on-year/YoY).

According to Erwin, the central bank projects that the housing industry will face the same situation until the close of next year.
"In the fourth quarter of 2021, the price of primarily residential property is estimated to still grow limited at 1.19 percent YoY", he said.
Erwin said the fall in the selling price of housing was in line with the number of occupancy developers had successfully released to the market. It was revealed that the survey results indicated that residential property sales in the primary market in the third quarter of 2021 were still on hold.
