There are many factors to consider regarding where the property market will go in Czech Republic in 2009. The ones that we feel are most relevant and are discussed in this report are the US housing market, the global credit crisis, Czech wages versus housing prices, the overall health of the Czech economy, rents versus housing prices and accession to the EURO. Short of time and only want to read the final analysis? The final subheading has our conclusions on how we feel the Czech housing market will be affected.
Over the past 10 years housing markets in both the eight major European countries and the US have largely moved in sync. Europe's housing market largely followed the US one with a lag of about 2 years.Starting in 2007 and continuing through 2008 to date this does seem to be the case as we have seen a similar downturn on the property markets in the UK, Spain and Ireland.In these countries the news just seems to get bleaker and bleaker. For example, Former MPC member Charles Goodhart warned July 11th, 2008 that with the economy looking 'dire', Britain is now facing a recession.
To judge Europe as a whole would be an erroneous thing to do because within Europe lies multiple market situations including availability and cost of credit, currency strengths or weaknesses, migration among EU member nations, investment and consumer mentality of residents, etc. Already we have seen how housing markets in Spain, Cochin Property the UK and Ireland have performed very differently than markets of central Europe.
When the American banks started major write-downs in 2007, no one expected that the event would balloon into what we see today. The economic system is purging itself from the era of easy credit and in the end things will return to a more balanced credit attitude. In the US a report in 2004 put the average household debt at $79 000 USD. More than � of all households had some sort of debt and 40% had more than $50 000 USD. In the second � of 2007, debt servicing in the US hit an all-time high as households were putting 14% of their disposable income to service debt.
