  • Homeownership in Germany : retirement strategies of households in a tenant society
    Helbrecht, Ilse ; Geilenkeuser, Tim
    This article examines the recent shifts among German homeowners towards the use of their housing equity as an asset. Based on 36 in-depth interviews with members of households, the authors assert ... that home owning behaviour and attitudes have evolved differently for different generations due to the economic and social circumstances at the time that they started their families and acquired their first real estate. Consequently, more and more young German households now consider their dwelling to be a centrepiece of their financial provisions in preparation for future financial risks. This is clearly a new perspective in a predominantly tenant society.
