¹	Price is per square meter of useful floor space. Useful floor space does not include basement and storage areas. A Precise definition can be found in NS 3940. Earlier versions of these statistics have used utility floor space, and as a result, the new figures are not directly comparable to the old ones.
²	Prices include site value. Administrative fees and interest on building loans are not included in the price. These costs usually amount to about 4 per cent of the total price.
