The average house price in Scotland increased by 8.4% over the last year, according to official figures.
Despite the impact of the pandemic, the number of transactions jumped by nearly a third.
Comparing October 2019 with October last year, the number of house sales rose by 31.9%
The rise is at least partly explained by the desire of many homeowners to have more space and also reflects low borrowing costs.
Detached homes saw the biggest increase in price, of 9.9% to an average £285,415, while flats and maisonettes saw a smaller one, rising 7.3% to reach an average of £115,600.
