It is becoming increasingly difficult for people in the Netherlands with an average income to find an affordable home, De Hypotheker has stated. The mortgage advisor compared the average income to the current housing prices, and this showed that two average incomes are currently needed to purchase an average-sized home. The average price for an existing home was 472,054 euros in April. Buyers would need a joint annual income of almost 100,000 euros to be able to loan this amount of money, De Hypotheker calculated.
Seriously dumb take. So now housing crisis is the fault of people who just want to continue living in their lifelong houses and communities.
I could say the fault it that younger people don’t want to form families and prefer to live each one in their own house. But I know that’s not the issue also
