Housing prices in Europe to drop by 8% in the next 2 years
Posted on January 17, 2023 |
In the next 2 years, home prices in the Eurozone will fall in which Netherlands and Germany will be hit hardest with a fall of 8% by the end of 2024.
In the Netherlands, home prices have only grown since the low point in the housing market in 2013, and in January 2022, the country still registered home price increases of above 20% which is now coming to an end.
In Sweden, home prices already fell by 14% in Stokholm, dropping back to the price level of December 2020.
The Netherlands saw mortgage interest rates rise due to the European Central Bank hiking interest rates as a result the residents can borrow less on their mortgage, which could lower home prices.
However, many people in Sweden have variable interest rates on their mortgages, meaning homeowners feel the interest rate hikes more quickly.
