Indeed, soon someone may ask, "Where are Slovakia, the Czech Republic,
or why are Norway and Iceland included if they're not part of the EU?"
Europe can be quite complicated. However, the answer to all these
questions is fairly straightforward: data availability. If a country
provides data to Eurostat, it becomes comparable with other states and
is included in the list. If a country doesn't provide this specific
statistic to Eurostat, it's left out.

Many of these countries have Euro. Eurostat does not disclose detailed methodology, this is what I have found:

The House Price Index is part of the so-called Euro-indicators that are designed to give a general overview of the economic situation of the euro area, the European Union and Member States.Weights are usually compiled using data from National Accounts, Household Budget Surveys, Construction Statistics, etc. Weights for HPI and OOHPI categories are revised yearly and released with the data for the first quarter of the current year.Data are not seasonally adjusted.
