This is the steepest decline, meaning a stronger increase in housing affordability, versus a 6.8% positive increase in housing prices above the rise in per capita household incomes.
Romania was followed by Finland (-25.2%) and Bulgaria (-16.2%). But while Romania’s and Bulgaria’s better housing affordability was driven by the income factor, the improvement in Finland was, on the contrary, an effect of lower prices.
