Comparing the data between 2010 and 2020, in 2020 there is a noticea- ble increase in the number of tenants in relation to the larger “family ownership of real estate” in 2010, when the ownership or the purchase of real estate took place through the participation of individual family members (real estate owners account for about 4% of young people). The shift to higher real estate rental, despite young people’s different living preferences, can be explained by the difficulties young people and their families or parents have in accessing financial resources for the purchase of real estate (e.g. the effects of rising real estate prices in recent times, difficult mortgage conditions, deteriorating social situation, etc.).
