Nearly one out of four European consumers who were tenants in 2019, believed they would not be able to buy a home in the future. This belief was especially shared in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, and the UK. However, those who did expect to eventually become first-home buyers believed it was more likely to happen once they passed the age of 35. Indeed, in 2019, roughly 16 percent of European respondents believed they had to wait until they were older than 35 to be able to buy a property.
