Percentage change in annual house prices from 1996, selected countries

  1. What did Italy do in 2007-2012 to permanently stabilise their house price increases?

    I’m pretty surprised that The UK isn’t on top. London is one of the most expensive places to buy property on Earth.

  2. I got into real estate very young and it’s fundamentally changed my life for the better. I never had a small loan of a million €, just a lot of hard work, a lot of networking with much older people and a bit of luck.

    I didn’t skip out on Uni either, that’s something I have no regrets doing but tbh it’s played very little into the real world for me. I cannot stress what it’s like having financial security and relative autonomy compared to investing into someone elses dreams.

    Edit: Curious why my comment is so shit? Just sharing my experience is all 🙁

  3. Sweden was very cheap in the 90’s after our big financial crisis in the early 90’s. If you change the graph to start in let’s say 1985 when Sweden was more expensive, Sweden wouldn’t come out on top, I think.

  4. >Percentage change in annual house prices

    what?

    did you mean “Cumulative Percentage change in house prices over time”?

    Also worth specifying whether you mean real (ie adjusted for inflation) or nominal (not adjusted for inflation).

    I’m going to guess you mean real because nominal house prices have increased by *much* more than 140% in the UK (more like 300-350%).

  5. Bought a 2 room + kitchen 56m2 apartment at 5000 euros in 1996 and rent was 150 euro.

    My friend got a 35m2 studio for free in 1998 if he bought the included furniture for 800 euros

    It was a huge housing crash then..
