      The Cold War divide is visible. In Poland, since the 1990s, apartments have been available for a fraction of their value. This concerns cooperative and municipal apartments that people received until 1989.

      Is there any explanation as to why home ownership in Germany is so low? Or Switzerland?

      Something tells me it doesn’t count people who moved away from parents but still keep their official address at their place because it’s bureaucratic nightmare to move your address to a rented place. There’s no way 94% people own homes when most people I know live in rentals.

      Why don’t more people just buy a house.

      What a bunch of dombos

      Does this include the 40% of houses made of horse shit and no inside toilet in Romania?

      I’m sure the Netherlands will be lower in the future. Just saw the news about new starts require €42.000 money of their own to buy a house. In addition, you often have to overbid a lot more to have any chance at all.

      In Czechia (and I assume most post communist countries) everyone received an apartment for basically peanuts when the regime fell. Nowadays we have some of the most unaffordable housing in the EU. So there’s a huge divide in home ownership between the older and younger generations.

      By googling a couple of these countries I realised home ownership rate is not only calculated differently in different countries, but even differently by different JOURNALISTS to get the narrative they want. Sometimes there’s a 20+ point difference in two different sources for the same exact year.

      German-speaking countries at the bottom makes sense. It’s pretty much the population living in cities(renting) vs the population living rurally(home owning). Everyone in big cities is renting, which is, economically, the better thing anyway. Vienna for example doesn’t allow you to buy apartments (75% of apartments are owned by the city) so the rent price stays low, that’s why rent in Vienna is cheaper than in almost all other European capitals, even including prague, wasaw, Budapest, Bucharest, zagreb etc. But the median income is still extremely high, allowing you to only pay a fraction of your income for rent.

      At least for the UK this statistic reflects the proportion of households which are owner occupied.

      What is more revealing is that the proportion of UK adults who are homeowners just dipped below 50 percent for the first time in decades and is falling steadily.

      The rise and normalisation of HMOs in my country has been pernicious and gone practically under the radar in terms of media interest because it doesn’t affect people at the top of society.

      The only way they’re keeping this Ponzi scheme of an economy going is cheap labour crammed into awful quality rental properties and forcing young people and immigrants into worse and worse living and employment conditions.

      When the boomers begin to die off en masse and their housing wealth is snapped up by the corporate sector (mainly social care) home ownership will really begin to tail off and then you might see politicians getting interested finally, because the private renters voting block will be going up and up.

      I can’t speak for the situation elsewhere in Europe but I think the UK is at the sharp end of this phenomenon of collapsing home ownership among the young.

      I am pretty sure the numbers for Germany are wrong, there is no way that almost half the people own the places they live in. Most people live in apartments in cities and those are most often owned by large companies and the states/cities. I can’t speak for other nations, but this list seems extremely off.
      Edit: I actually looked it up, for Germany it has been 42% in 2022. So it is quite close, I’m surprised. Still, some nations…96%?

      Swiss bros, I’ll give you a random land in some shit village in Romania and you give me your rental , deal?

    22. ChrisCrossX on

      Funny how former communist countries all have high home ownership rates. Makes you think…

    25. KarlWhale on

      I could believe the 89% in Lithuania. Renting an apartment is really seen as a 20s thing and most take out a loan to buy apartment around 30.

      But at the same time, because of COVID and Russia’s war in Ukraine, I feel like we’re in a tipping point. A lot of apartments have significantly increased in price in the capital but not a lot of people are selling (probably because there’s not much you can buy since everything increased in price).

    27. La-Dolce-Velveeta on

      Poland is high because, until recently, it was cheaper to have a 30-year mortgage than to rent a flat. Right now, you can’t buy an apartment even with a decent salary.

      Thank you, government, for dropping the ball in the social housing department.

    28. ZoleeHU on

      As others pointed out, these rates are more than likely bullshit. I can vouch that even in Hungary this is WILDLY inaccurate.

    29. enilix on

      Definitely one of the better things about living in Croatia – you know nobody’s kicking you out.

      that shitty communism you see what it did to those eastern european countries?

    33. Aromatic-Musician774 on

      Klaus Scwabb in Davos, Switzerland once said: “You’ll own nothing, and will be happy”. Swiss follow that to a tee as expected.

      With increase of life standard seems that home ownership drops accordingly
