    The housing market occupies a central place within any society. Residential property represents the essential parts of most families’ wealth, as well as a substantial part of their monthly expenditure. It also represents a large fraction of private investment, generating significant earnings. However, and despite this importance, the compilation of reliable residential property priceindexes (RPPI) is far from satisfactory in Portugal, revealing an important gap in the field of statistical information.The construction of a residential property price index (RPPI) poses problems arising from the inherent nature of the object concerned.Considering the gap in Portugal regarding the lack of a sufficiently enlarged database allowing the compilation of reliable RPPIs, this article seeks to con-tribute to this area, proposing a methodology applied to the urban area of Aveiro and Ílhavo by means of a spatial data analysis

    O mercado imobiliário ocupa um lugar central em qualquer sociedade. A propriedade imobiliária representa a parte essencial da riqueza da maioria das famílias, e origina uma parte substancial de suas despesas mensais. Também representa uma grande fração do investimento privado, gerando ganhos significativos. No entanto, e apesar desta importância, a compilação de índices fiáveis de preços de imóveis residenciais está longe de ser satisfatória em Portugal, revelando uma lacuna im-portante no domínio da informação estatística.A construção de um Índice de Preços Residenciais apresenta problemas particulares decorrentes da natureza inerente do objeto em questão. Atendendo à lacuna existente em Portugal de uma base de dados suficientemente alargada que permita a compilação de Índice de Preços Residenciais iáveis, este artigo procura contribuir nesta área, propondo uma metodologia aplicada à área urbana de Aveiro e Ílhavo através de uma análise de dados espaciais
