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.
Spain's housing crisis is reaching a breaking point, driven by rental affordability: the gap widened as rental prices surged three times higher than wages. The key to understanding this imbalance lies in scarcity. Most housing in Spain is rented, not newly built for rental purposes. This raises an unusual question: why should the solution begin with constructing more homes?
Consider the typical housing journey in Spain: a new home (migrant, young adult, or newly formed family) primarily seeks rental accommodation before eventually purchasing. Many of these homes become a long-term rental, often lasting until the occupants reach 35 years old. Currently, 38% of homes created between 1986 and 1995 are still in this rental phase, a 10-point increase compared to the previous generation at the same age. This rate is three times higher than that of the baby boomer generation.
