Abstract. The paper aims at analyzing the dynamics of the housing prices treated as a time- series of a stochastic process. Obtained results show that in a longer perspective these prices form a nonstationarity process characterized by time-variant statistical descriptors. On the other hand, the prices analyzed within much shorter time windows appear to remain stationary, and are found to be developed in a random walk process. In such a case, the price distribution is close to normal distribution
