The price of flats is again increasing at pre-pandemic levels, after the 2020 hiatus caused by the impact of covid-19 on the economy and the housing market, according to data published this Friday by the National Statistics Institute (INE). It reports that in Catalonia this year's third quarter recorded a similar growth to the fourth quarter of 2019, while in the State as a whole the increase during the third quarter was the highest since the third quarter of 2019.
