In the presented European countries, the homeownership rate extended from 42 percent in Switzerland to as much as 96 percent in Serbia. More developed European countries, such as France or Germany, tended to have a lower homeownership rate compared to the frontier countries, such as Lithuania or Slovakia. The share of house owners among the population of all 28 European countries has remained relatively stable over the past few years.
