Innovative Housing Solutions Emerge Amid Europe's Growing Affordability Challenges

Europe's housing crisis has intensified as house prices in the EU have risen 10% faster than incomes over the past decade, disproportionately affecting young people. In response, startups like Spain's Habitacion.com offer innovative solutions such as selling individual rooms in shared flats at lower prices. These arrangements reflect changing lifestyles and financial constraints, with buyers often relying on personal loans and compatibility assessments. Meanwhile, EU plans to improve housing affordability announced in December have yet to be implemented.
