Home ownership rate in Germany: A call for reform by the free voters

The discussion about increasing the home ownership rate in Germany is becoming increasingly important. The political measures proposed by the Free Voters' Party aim to enable affordable home ownership, especially for young people. This initiative is inspired by a remarkable model from the Netherlands, where lower purchasing costs and faster processing of building applications have achieved immediate successes.

The approach is particularly noticeable to completely abolish the real estate transfer tax for first buyers under the age of 35. Engin Eroglu, the deputy federal chairman of the Free Voters, emphasizes the need that residential property should not only be reserved for one elite. "A long -term perspective on a home is crucial to make our country crisis and prevent old -age poverty," he explains. This shows how important the party considers improved access to property for all sections of the population.

In Germany, the property rate has been stable for years at around 47 percent, which is 22 percent below the EU average. In order to counteract this trend, the free voters demand a combination of cost reductions and an increase in construction activity. Eroglu emphasizes that over 74 percent of young people in Germany have the desire for their own living space, but this is significantly more difficult by high property prices and long approval processes.

Another important point in the debate is the bureaucratic relief of the construction and housing industry. This includes the local reduction of construction site raw materials, such as gravel, as well as the revision of outdated buns that unnecessarily complicate and more expensive the construction process. "The time delays and the high demands prevent us from creating sufficient living space," says Eroglu, calling for the free allocation of building orders.

A look at the Netherlands shows that a reduced additional cost structure of only 2-3 percent when buying a house and clear structures in social housing lead to a property rate of over 70 percent. Eroglu calls on the Federal Government to seriously address the reforms announced in 2022 in relation to the regulatory framework for housing construction. "That must finally come to the agenda," concluded the politician.

The call from Eroglu not only stands for an economic necessity, but also for a social obligation to facilitate access to living space for all population groups. The changes that could derive from these discussions have the potential to have a positive effect on the potential, the life and financial security of many people.
