Housing News in the Czech Republic

The housing crisis in the Czech Republic is causing serious problems for smaller investors. Prices have continued to rise and are higher than rent in some areas, but it is still not affordable for the majority of people. A recent survey showed that more than a third of the Czech population is considering owning a property. While the economy has been recovering from the winter recession, prices have continued to rise and will probably reach pre-pandemic levels by the end of this year.

The looming housing crisis is affecting every corner of Czech society, from the economy to health and demographics. The coronavirus pandemic has devastated the economy and wiped out jobs, but the housing crisis is still a major concern in the Czech Republic. In addition to the social and environmental consequences of the crisis, the lack of affordable housing is impacting the Czechs’ health. However, the low cost of mortgages and a large share of the country’s workforce has pushed prices of property up. bydleni

Despite this, prices of real estate are steadily rising and people are taking out mortgages to purchase a house. The government has introduced a new building act that could open the floodgates for new home mortgage loans. Moreover, the average interest rate for mortgages is now below the 2% level. This is a good sign for home buyers. The government is trying to encourage people to buy a home in a central location, which will help reduce the risk for the banks.

The price of new homes in the Czech Republic is rising at a rapid pace, and prices in many areas of the country are unaffordable. This is not surprising considering the lack of housing in the country. According to the World Bank, the Czech Republic is the most expensive country in the world when it comes to housing. And it is no secret that prices in the Czech Republic are among the highest in Europe. Nevertheless, there are still some promising signs that the situation will improve in the coming years.

The low interest rate has contributed to the boom in the real estate market. While the Czech Republic’s house prices are 65.5% higher than their peak in Q3 2008, they are still affordable. Despite the imposed mortgage restrictions, foreigners can buy property in the Czech Republic. Only those who have permanent residency in the country can qualify for a local mortgage. In the meantime, the country’s prices will continue to rise steadily.

While the average gross annual salary of Czechs is CZK 1,335 per square metre, the average price of new apartments in the Czech Republic is CZK 29,600. The average rent of a 70-square-meter apartment is CZK 22,800. While the Czech Republic is not one of the most expensive countries in the world, it is far cheaper than most other Central European countries. In fact, the prices of new apartments in the country are lower than in most of the other CE countries.
