Report Highlights
The significant fall in gross advances between 2004 and 2005 means that new
lending in the German mortgage market has contracted in the last five years at
a CAGR of -7.7%.
The housing market, like the economy, has remained flat in recent years. With
house prices flat or falling for almost a decade, there has been little or no
additional housing equity to push up personal consumption or to enable
sustained equity withdrawals by owner-occupiers or landlords.
Germany' s mortgage debt ratio as a percentage of GDP stood at 51.3% at the end
of 2006. This is despite the low level of owner-occupation seen in Germany.
