Construir vivienda como política de alquiler

Cada vez más hogares alquilan, pero quedan menos pisos libres para quien busca. La vivienda nueva, aunque se venda, es lo que vuelve a mover el flujo.

Construir vivienda como política de alquiler

The housing crisis in Spain appears to be rooted in the rental market, as prices have tripled compared to wages. The issue lies in the limited supply of newly built rental properties. Spain relies heavily on second-hand rentals, rather than constructing new housing specifically for lease. This has led to a situation where a significant portion of younger households struggle to transition from renting to homeownership.

Among households born between 1986 and 1995, 38% still rely on rental payments at market rates by the age of 35. This is 10 percentage points higher than the previous generation at the same age, and more than triple the rate of baby boomers.
