Housing market and housing indicators

This study presents the changes in the housing sector since 2000 in four steps. First, we evaluate the Hungarian housing situation in an international comparative context, looking for the connection between economic development and the housing consumption level of households. Then we divide the years after 2000 into three periods, in order to analyse macro-level developments related to the housing system (construction, house prices, transactions and so forth). Next, we separately examine developments in the housing situation of different social strata over the past 15 years. And finally, we take a look at recent housing market trends, which show signs of a post-crisis recovery, but at the same time indicate the re-emergence of pre-crisis problems.
