Social tenant pays in Amsterdam by to wait any longer

This is the conclusion of a study published last week by urban Economist Jos van Ommeren, Professor at the free University (VU) in Amsterdam, and Arno van der Vlist, Professor of real estate development at the University of Groningen (RUG). Their conclusion is obvious, but the striking thing about the study is how accurate the wait times associated with the prices of sale houses.

"I thought that waiting lists used to be no good way to divide the living space," says Vickers, who has done several studies on the housing market. "I found that lists just irritating. In Amsterdam is the waiting list long. The living expensive, nowadays registration duration, amounts to an average of eight years. That is endless. But by this study snap I wait that actually pay. I also have a better understanding of the waiting lists. "

Direct link Vicente and Van der Vlist used for their research the waiting lists of a large housing corporation, that the subpoenas that his name is not known.

The two researchers found that if the value of a property ten percent increases, the waiting duration of that House than with six to seven months increases. "One percent higher price corresponds to a percent longer waiting time. We see a direct link between the price and the wait time. For prices we have mainly looked at the WOZ values. "" The price gives the attractiveness of a property, but the wait time as well. A House on the Herengracht costs more than 10-fold increase of a house in locks. If that home in the social sector is let you must wait more than ten times as long on. Compare it to the long queues outside pop concerts or a new iPhone. The social housing in Friesland you can involve almost immediately. "
