Permanent renting becomes the new reality across Europe

Euronews Portugal10 September 2026 at 13:07

A new study analyzing 39 OECD countries reveals that permanent renting is becoming the new housing reality across Europe. Homeownership is becoming increasingly unaffordable for a large part of the European population. This phenomenon is profoundly altering real estate markets across the continent, modifying citizens' living patterns and long-term expectations. The study demonstrates that the permanent renting trend is not an isolated phenomenon, but rather a structural transformation of housing markets in developed countries.
