Institutional analysis (Elements of a new housing regime)
Introduction
Hungary is the only country in the OSIS project, which represents the transitional countries, and the new members of the European Union. Home ownership has become a dominant tenure form all over the transition countries, however even after 15 years since the transition no new housing regime has been formed. The housing sector developed basically as a consequence of the economic transition, and the trends in the housing system can be interpreted as “outcome” of the restructuring processes in the political and economic system such as decentralization, privatization, emergence of private banking, reform of social security system, etc. Hungary is one example of “super home ownership”, where majority of the owners have the full equity (no substantial mortgage).
Description
The first part of the institutional analysis describes the trend in the transition countries, focusing on those which already joined Europe and the ones belonging to the new accession
Conclusions
It is concluded, that the housing system in the ex-socialist countries had had some common features which make a certain level of generalization possible. One of the general elements was the change in the tenure structure. Despite the differences in the tenure structure before the transition, after the transition two processes started
1. mass scale of privatization,
2. the “reinterpretation” of tenure
The first element was quite transparent, and the process could be described and analysed; however the second element was less obvious.
The three basic tenure forms in Hungary (public rental, private rental and owner-occupied) are still in transformation in terms of their legal, social and economic nature.
