The housing problem is out of control and the housing deficit is already 750,000

The article discusses the growing housing crisis in Spain, highlighting that young people living in rental properties need nearly seven years of salary to afford a home. For those born outside Spain, this period increases to 7.5 years, and in major cities like Barcelona, Madrid, or Málaga, it could take up to 10 years of salary. According to the latest annual report by the Bank of Spain, the difficulty in accessing housing now affects not only lower-income groups but also middle-income earners.

Los jóvenes que viven en alquiler en España necesitan comprometer casi siete años de salario para aspirar a adquirir una vivienda en propiedad. Esa es la media estándar pero si se trata de jóvenes nacidos fuera de España ese esfuerzo se eleva a 7,5 ... años de salario y ya si esos jóvenes aspiran a adquirir una vivienda en alguna de las grandes zonas urbanas de España, tipo Barcelona, Madrid o Málaga, lo que necesitan es comprometer los salarios de una cuarta parte de su vida laboral, 10 años en cifras redondas, para poder acceder a una vivienda en propiedad. La situación ha llegado a un punto en el que, según se reconoce en el último informe anual del Banco de España, las dificultades para acceder a una vivienda ya no se limitan a las rentas más bajas sino que también ya a las rentas medias.
