Frequently asked questions
12 answersWhat does London home value priced in ETH mean?
It is the published home-value measure for London government office region divided by the aligned ETH price. The result is the number of ETH units equal to that home value.
Why can the ETH units required fall while the home value rises?
The unit count falls when ETH appreciates faster than the local home-value measure. The two local-currency values can both rise while their ratio declines.
How are the housing and asset observations aligned?
Both inputs use the same calendar month. A page includes only periods with both a housing observation and a valid asset price.
Does the ETH series include reinvested income?
No. The calculation uses the documented price series for literal asset units and excludes dividend-reinvested total returns.
Where do the London housing and ETH data come from?
UK House Price Index (UK HPI) supplies the housing series for London government office region. The ETH series uses ETH-USD from the asset source linked beside the chart. Both inputs are converted to GBP where required before the ratio is calculated.
How many observations are included?
105 aligned observations are shown from 2017-11-30 through 2026-07-31. All are marked complete.
Can the latest reading change after publication?
Yes. The previous 12 months are revised monthly as additional registered transactions arrive. Ad hoc revisions may update the full history for methodology, source-data, or processing changes. The page was derived from housing data fetched on 2026-09-18, and later source revisions can change the result.
What should I conclude from a falling asset-unit cost?
It means ETH appreciated faster than the published London home-value measure over that interval. It is a relative-price observation, not a claim about affordability, transaction costs, causality, or future performance.
How do currency moves affect the ETH comparison?
ETH is quoted in USD and converted into GBP for each observation. The resulting home-in-ETH ratio can therefore reflect both the asset-price move and the exchange-rate move.
Why might the housing observation lag or look smoother than the market price?
UK House Price Index (UK HPI) publishes a monthly housing measure based on its own collection and revision process. ETH market prices update more frequently, so the aligned chart can still show a smoother or slower-moving housing series.
Can this ratio be used as a portfolio performance benchmark?
Not on its own. It is a descriptive relative-price series, not a total-return or risk-adjusted benchmark. It excludes income, costs, financing, liquidity, volatility, and investability constraints.
How should I cite this observation?
Cite the PIER20 page and access date, then identify UK House Price Index (UK HPI) as the housing source and ETH-USD as the asset series. State that the comparison runs through 2026-07-31 and uses monthly aligned observations.
