The global housing market has slowed amid high inflation and soaring borrowing costs. Homeownership is one of the most universal signs of success and prosperity: It serves both as a source of stable and secure housing and a long-term investment. After the global financial crisis, property prices rose in many countries and especially in advanced economies. For more than a decade after that, the housing market has been on an upward trajectory, culminating in the housing boom during the COVID-19 pandemic. However, housing shortages in highly competitive markets, the recent rapid house price growth, soaring inflation, and consequently, some of the highest mortgage interest rates recorded in the past 10 years have led to the market cooling.

Soaring inflation and aggressive mortgage interest rate hikes cooled the European housing market after a nearly decade-long period of growth. Since 2015, house prices in the European Union have grown by about 50 percent. When inflation in Europe started to rise at an alarming rate in 2021, the European Central Bank increased interest rates, resulting in substantially higher mortgage interest rates and a decline in homebuying. But how important is homeownership for Europeans?

Generally considered the third key pillar of the food, clothing, and shelter trinity popularized in India over generations, owning a home is still prioritized as a measure of financial security by a vast majority of the Indian population. The COVID-19 pandemic with its successive lockdowns and restrictions to stay within the confines of one’s home, further reinforced this vision. India’s growing urban population, rising household incomes, and decade-long low-interest rates have been propelling the demand for residential units, driving up the sales volume. Even though the residential real estate sector was severely hit in 2020, it marked a strong recovery in consecutive years, crossing pre-COVID sales figures.
