In the last decade, the housing market in the Spanish State has undergone a profound transformation with the massive entry of so-called investment funds, popularly known as “vulture funds.” Their strategy has consisted of acquiring entire portfolios of properties at reduced prices, taking advantage of the financial crisis and the privatization of public housing stocks. A notable example was the 2013 sale of nearly 1,900 public housing units from the Madrid City Council to the fund Blackstone, which were later resold … Read more

En la última década, el mercado de la vivienda en el Estado español ha experimentado una profunda transformación con la entrada masiva de los denominados fondos de inversión, conocidos popularmente como «fondos buitre». Su estrategia ha consistido en adquirir carteras enteras de inmuebles a precios reducidos, aprovechando la crisis financiera y las privatizaciones de parques públicos de viviendas.

Over/undervaluation of residential property prices across EU countries and Greece as of Q3 2025
Most EU countries show positive overvaluation ranges, meaning residential property prices in much of the EU appear elevated compared to fundamentals.
Greece: Affordability vs. Investment Value
European Commission estimate that Greek property valuations are approximately 20% above their fundamental levels as of late 2025.

Residential property prices Greece vs Germany, from 2004 to Q4 2025
Greece’s housing market is cyclical, crisis‑prone, but capable of strong rebounds.
Germany’s market is stable, slow‑moving, and less sensitive to shocks, but currently in a cooling phase.
By 2025, Greece is clearly outperforming Germany in price momentum.

Singapore: “Housing is a human right, not a playground for speculators.”
They made home ownership mandatory through savings schemes and hammered investors with heavy taxes on second and third properties.
The outcome? Real affordability for workers — not just profits for landlords.
Australia: “Let the market decide.”
Then opened the floodgates with super withdrawals, negative gearing, and foreign investment.
The result? Young people locked out, while property becomes a boomer ATM.
One country treats housing as shelter.
The other treats it as a wealth machine.
Guess which one has the housing crisis?
Neoliberal brainrot vs. serious policy.
Singapore wins.

"… we are desperate for housing that is actually affordable for people who are working their asses off and can only make so much money because wages never keep up. What we need is we need a public developer employing public construction companies to actually build out the non-market and nonprofit and supportive and cooperative housing that will solve the problem."
NDP's Avi Lewis on the massive buildout of housing needed to solve our #HousingCrisis:
"That has only ever happened under public ownership. And that's how it happened after the Second World War. And that is what is required to solve the housing emergency."
