title: European Rent-vs-Buy Pressure - ownership vs rental cost growth, quarterly Parquet
description: The tenure tug-of-war in one number: house-price growth minus rent growth, per European country per quarter. Above zero = buying costs pulling away from renting (ownership getting relatively dearer); below = rents outpacing prices. The rent-or-buy signal proptech, build-to-rent and housing-policy analysts track, derived cleanly from Eurostat house prices and HICP actual rents. Licence-clean and AI-training-safe.
