House prices in postcode 825: registered residential sale prices from the HMS property register, median price per m², sales volume and year-on-year change. Live asking prices are shown separately so sold prices and seller expectations stay distinct.
What the mortgage on a typical home here would cost, and whether it fits a typical local household’s take-home pay — figures only, no verdict.
Burden is the greiðslumat ratio — 825's median sold-price mortgage (20% down, 8.75% rate, 30-year annuity) as a share of the Sveitarfélagið Árborg median household's take-home pay. Icelandic banks cap mortgage payments at 35% of take-home income (40% for first-time buyers). The indexed (verðtryggt) figure is the lower INITIAL payment most Icelandic buyers take; its principal is CPI-indexed so that payment rises with inflation — a cash-flow timing benefit, not a lower real cost. Income is published per municipality, not per postcode, and actual buyers here may earn more or less — so treat it as a reference, not a verdict. (Hagstofa Íslands TEK01002, 2024).

Live Vísir listings — what sellers are asking now, distinct from the sold figures above.
This page shows house prices in postcode 825 from registered residential sale contracts. It summarizes the median sold price, price per square metre, registered sales volume and the change from the previous 12-month period.
The median sold price is a more stable reference than the average when a few unusually large or expensive homes could distort the result. Price per square metre is useful when comparing different neighbourhoods or different home sizes.
Asking prices from live listings are shown separately from sold prices. That keeps seller expectations distinct from what buyers actually paid according to the HMS property register.
The best short answer is the median sold price in postcode 825, when enough registered sales are available. It is based on residential sales from the HMS property register, not listing asking prices.
Price per square metre is calculated from registered sale prices and the size of homes sold. It is shown as a median so a few unusually expensive or inexpensive sales do not dominate the result.
The main price figures are based on registered sales from the HMS property register. Live listing data is shown separately to describe current supply and asking prices.
Headline median_price / median_price_per_sqm / yoy_change are REAL trailing-12-month HMS sold figures (sample-gated; null below 10 sales), matching the overview. price_history is a rolling 90-day median price/m² from the register, up to 40 points (~10 years), each point sample-gated. The asking block holds current Vísir asking prices / inventory and is never mixed into the sold headline.Sources: HMS Kaupskrá (sold medians, YoY, price history) · Vísir Fasteignir (current asking prices / inventory)
The page normally uses the latest 12 months of registered sales for the snapshot. When there are too few sales, the median or change may be withheld to avoid misleading results.
