EU building permits new dwellings, May 2022 – May 2026

EU Building Permits for New Dwellings Show Signs of Stabilisation

EU residential building permits appear to have stabilised after a sharp downturn between 2022 and 2024.

While permit issuance recovered during 2025, momentum has slowed in recent months, suggesting that a stronger housing construction rebound is still some way off.

Where High Rents Drive People Into Poverty

A new study identified 10 locations where higher-than-average housing costs have impacted poverty the most.

By Elizabeth A. Harris, Sept. 29, 2026,

"The #HousingShortage in the United States not only drives up rents, it is also a significant driver of poverty, according to a new study released by the Pew Charitable Trust on Tuesday.

"The study examined parts of the country where lowering home prices would lift a significant number of people out of poverty — similar in effect to a major anti-poverty program — at a moment when the national conversation around housing has gained urgency at every level of government.

"The analysis found that in nine states and Washington, D.C., poverty rates are 16 to 34 percent higher than they would be if housing costs were the same as the national average. Most of those states are on the East Coast — #NewJersey, #Massachusetts, #Maryland, #Connecticut, #NewYork and #NewHampshire. #Hawaii, #California and #Colorado also made the list. The analysis was based on research by Zachary Parolin, a professor at the University of Oxford, who examined census data to determine the states where housing costs contributed to the greatest share of poverty.

"In New Hampshire, the poverty rate, as defined by the federal poverty line, is 16 percent higher than it would be with average housing costs. In Hawaii, the poverty rate is 34 percent higher. In most states included in the study, the rate of child poverty was even more elevated."

Am I the only one who thinks tearing down forests to build more houses won't solve the housing shortage?

We don't have houses because finance bought up all the houses. Untold houses are sitting empty. If we build more houses, finance will buy them up too. All we'll do is lose more forests.

#Auspol #HousingShortage #Downsizing

apart from the massive problem of negative gearing… the housing problem is exacerbated by the costs of downsizing.

in victoria, if i am not mistaken, there is a once-only-per-lifetime exemption from stamp duty on a primary place of residence.
anyone who is 70+ in their own home who has ever moved in the past, might find the price difference between a 4 bed 2 bath residence and a 1 or 2 bed 1 bath residence is not enough to cover the cost of stamp duty if they downsize to the same area (not even the same suburb) — in which case, they cannot afford to downsize.
