The home ownership rate in the presented European countries extended from 51.4 percent in Germany to as much as 96.8 percent in Romania. More developed European countries, such as France or Germany, tended to have a lower home ownership rate compared to the frontier countries, such as Lithuania or Slovakia. The share of house owners among the population of all 28 European countries has remained relatively stable over the past few years, amounting to approximately 69 percent.
