Abstract:
“This study serves to get a better understanding of housing financialisation through an open–minded and investigative approach, providing steppingstones for future research. The study includes three main research components (seven city case studies; advanced analyses of Amsterdam housing data; descriptive data on institutional investment in multifamily property) supported by two experts workshops. Most findings confirm the assumption that housing financialisation negatively impacts housing affordability. At the same time, it becomes clear that causality is complex, pointing to the housing system as a complex myriad of factors that either directly or indirectly influence and reinforce each other. The study further indicates that to better understand housing financialisation across EU cities, as well as its consequences, more (harmonised) data are needed.”
