We're not all that bad, France does a good job controlling its housing market. Hungary… has made other choices.

  3. Finland seems an interesting case. Anyone know the reasons behind that graph?

  4. And what about a comparison beginning in 1990/2000, until now?
    That difference must be shocking…

  5. This is what happens when governments care about the rich instead of the people. Now the new trend is to arming against Russia and spend the money that should be spent for people instead of guns

  6. Nice, selling my house next year so hopefully I can get a nice price/profit.

  7. Too many people buying properties as investment and they index their shit religiously every year

  8. 1/ Cap rent prices

    2/ Make it mandatory to either sell or rent out your houses, or the state fines you and in extreme cases even takes over ownership of the house.

    Both measures are needed, because if you only cap rent prices without forcing landlords to rent the place, they can just refuse to rent, wait a couple years for a new coalition that reverses it. Smaller ones won’t. Big ones will. And what’s more, they’ll probably buy up places that small landlords don’t want to rent out. Only doing step 1 effectively enlargers the portfolio of bigger companies.

    You have a property? Use it or lose it. Because if you’re not using it, it’s a bunch of bricks taking up space that someone could use to actually live there. An empty house is more than an empty house: it’s forcing people into homelessness.

    “But but but my property” Your property is effectively functioning to keep people homeless, and keep the market expensive as fuck, if you refuse to sell it or rent it out.

  9. I do question all that data. Present in Cyprus. The average apartment has gone up 60% in the last 4 years alone. So no clue where they pull this 12%.

  10. Just wait until Vooruit taxes millionaires on financial (non real-estate)assets.

    You’ll see real estate prices skyrocket even more as millionaires will buy even more real-estate.

    And yes, taxing them on that extra real estate (which will be rented out) will increase the rent prices.

    So in the end, middle working class will pay the bill anyway.

    “Tax the rich” is a nice idea but never works.

    Let the downvotes begin! 🤪

  11. Goud gaat omhoog. Vastgoed gaat omhoog. Supermarktprijzen gaan omhoog. Energieprijzen gaan omhoog. En zo verder.

    Wat je ziet is dat geld omlaag is gegaan. Maar we ijken al onze grafiekjes op de huidige waarde van geld. Dan krijg je deze figuren en vormen in de grafieken.

    M.a.w. is dit een devaluatie of hoge inflatie van de Euro. Zoals dat in de jaren tachtig met de Belgisch Frank ook gebeurde. Dat heeft er waarschijnlijk mee te maken dat de de ECB aan massale geldcreatie heeft gedaan om de bankencrisis van 2008 op te lossen. De zogenaamde quantative easing (massaal voor jaren achtereen opkopen van EU lidstaten hun staatschuld – wat trouwens de allerenige reden is dat België niet failliet is gegaan het afgelopen decennium).

    ps. Dat België de komende decennia niet failliet zal gaan, is niet zeker. Quantative easing is gedaan. We staan er nu alleen voor om de rente op onze staatsschuld laag te houden. Want wat we in de jaren tachtig wel konden doen met onze eigen munt, kunnen we nu niet doen met de Euro.

  12. France is a big country compared to Belgium, if you focus on where people want to live, like Paris, Ile de France, côte d’azur, you’ll probably find a much higher number.

  13. Same graphs corrected by inflation? We had i guess 30%-35% over the same period

  14. Yea now compare central cities and dutch prices rose at least 130%

  16. Greece data is not there. This is the only EU country which is not shown in this graph. Did they forget Greece? 😁

  17. It would have been interesting to include the 2009 crisis in the graph. I’m curious how it went EU-wide

  19. best thing i can afford right now is 4 pieces of cartoon box to live in.
