      It’s about time the issue is addressed at a continental level. Housing has become too big for individual states to handle alone.

      The solution to housing crisis is very simple and straightforward:
      1) Ban of corporate ownership of real estate
      2) Ban of buy to let (at least 10 years after purchase before being allowed to rent out your flat)
      3) Ban on owning more to than 2 properties
      4) Ban of short term rentals
      5) Ban of foreign ownership.
      Obviously, none of these measures will be implemented — it will hurt the ruling class too much.

      Has a single European country calculated the effect of immigration on house prices?

      Finland, Cyprus and Italy bringing the average down so much. Without them it looks like it would be more around 70-80 percent

      Heavily taxing owning more than one home would help. But with the size of their salaries most policymakers own multiple homes.

      Stop treating it as an investment opportunity. Nothing else will stop the issue.

      How about we simply build more houses/apartments?
      When the demand is higher than the offer, the prices will raise. Therefore we have to build more to lower the prices.
      Why are we not doing this? Because construction is expensive and the regulations for loans are too high.
      Those two things should be changed by the lawmakers.

      Hungary is leading the charts of course. Hungary goes forwards, not backwards! /s

      Here in Finland it’s particularly crazy since most of the country is just empty space. But it seems like average citizen has to always be ####ed in some way,  either get a super expensive house from the same area than everyone else, with neighbour’s terrace 5 meters away, or get horrendous car, fuel, heating, energy etc. costs in more rural areas.

      But let’s add more taxes, more regulations and limitations, that will surely help.

      It’s so stupid to use mean values. Italy is negative for rural areas and highly positive for large cities. The net is flat, but it’s a useless metric. Moreover, we should understand whether salaries have increased proportionally, as in Eastern Europe, or not.

      At the same time, investors in Linkedin from Finland are crying how shitty the housing price increase has been compared to Portugal.

      Hungary has to learn the what personal space is and leave Croatia some room

      Bulgaria is absurd. Absolute dumps going for €250k+

      People are buying property and renting them in such manner the rent covers the bank credit, leading to accumulation of wealth for the owners and ever increasing rents for the rest. Inflation and all sort of world crisis are also contributing to this over-inflating bubble.

    20. burnerLT on

      In Lithuania all middle-upper class people consider owning flats for rent as the only viable solution to ensure yourself a good level of income in retirement given our forecasted demographics. Oh yeah, we also don’t trust our government. Nor the financial markets with stocks.

      That is driving up the demand for flats badly. Also the government is not willing to tax the property sufficiently, cause the voting members themselves would be personally affected.

    21. Neomadra2 on

      That’s about 4.5% increase per year? That’s quite a bit above inflation but also not as bad as many make it out to be. Obviously some countries are hit way worse, but given that this is a giga topic in Germany all the time I would have thought it would be worse.

    22. bruhbelacc on

      The problem is called – everyone wants to buy when they can, we have a skyrocketing percentage of single people, we live longer than ever, and we are richer than ever. All of that extra money gets invested into good interior and second houses, increasing the prices. Also the low interest rates hurt. I’m guessing the “solution” will be rent control which will just make 10-year-long waiting lists or will add loopholes for landlords to charge more (e.g., a mandatory parking spot for a high price together with a cheap apartment). Or extra money for taking loans, which will inflate the prices.

    23. _R0Ns_ on

      And now compare that with the political direction these countries went in that same period.

    25. FlakTotem on

      Not quite the EU; But it’s honestly wild to me that post ww2 Britain **successfully fixed housing**, then the next generation straight up torpedoed it because they wanted to buy cheap houses and then force the prices up for profit.
