What does this data mean for an investor?

The growth rate of 10.56‰ is above the provincial average (9.78‰), which suggests demand is recovering more strongly here than across the province (interpretation).

With 550 sales in 2025 the district ranks 8 of the 14 districts with sales; volume is 85% of 2022. That is 4.5 sales per thousand residents (provincial average 10.1). 97% of sales are second-hand (provincial 75%): transactions mostly involve the existing stock. The mortgaged share is 1% (province: 8%).

What it means for an investor: transaction volume is mid-sized; comparable sales in the same neighbourhood should be researched for the target property type. The data show no prices.

Limitation: Housing-sales data count title-deed transactions and contain no price, m² or rent information. The growth rate covers a single year. The food-business count is registered businesses subject to inspection and gives only a rough signal of competitive density. No neighbourhood-level official data are used here.
