Abstract
This qualitative literature review examines the relationship between inflation experiences and homeownership across countries. Drawing on a synthesis of existing research, the review explores how historical inflation contexts influence individuals' decisions to invest in real estate. Findings indicate that periods of high inflation often motivate individuals to view homeownership as a hedge against inflationary pressures, particularly in economies with volatile economic conditions. Institutional factors, such as mortgage market structures and housing policies, play a crucial role in shaping this relationship, influencing overall homeownership rates across different regions. Immigrant populations bring unique perspectives, as their housing decisions in host countries are influenced by inflation experiences in their countries of origin. The review highlights methodological diversity and calls for more longitudinal and cross-country studies to enhance the robustness and generalizability of findings. Addressing these dynamics can provide insights into effective policy interventions aimed at promoting sustainable housing markets globally.
