Areas without a valid value follow the ranking with the reason, never with a number. “Under 3”: fewer than 3 registered records, so no figure is shown (no figures from single transactions). Gross yield needs enough ready apartment sales and apartment rent contracts in the same months.

Indicative figures from registered transactions and rent contracts, not a valuation of any unit.

A ranking of registered figures only, not a recommendation to buy, sell or invest.
