Market rents in the city of Stockholm -Market Simulations over time ; Fri hyressättning i Stockholms stad -Marknadssimuleringar över tid
The rental market in Stockholm is clearly out of function. For an apartment in the city the queue is of several years, and the rent level is far from in comparison with the market demand. The incentives to build rental apartments are almost none. The profitability level of rental housing is not enough compared to building owner-occupied housing. Therefore, in the lack of rental housing and the big excess demand that exists on rental housing, the black market is booming this type of accommodation and people have to pay large amounts to obtain rental housing. The market simulation presented in this thesis is to show us what the rent levels would become in Stockholm if we deregulated the rental housing market in the long run, in the short run, or with subsidies from the state. This will give us an idea of how the rental market could develop in the future, and what consequences it would imply for tenants and landlords. As a basis for this analysis, the demand elasticity is studied. This is based on how demand is affected by changes in disposable income and a rent increase. The demand elasticity is then compared with rental markets similar to Stockholm. The aim of this thesis is to show, with three simulations, how the housing market would react to a deregulation in this case where housing demand exceeds the supply. Also presented in this thesis is what the rent would be if the deregulations where made today. The final results in these simulations are similar to each other and all three indicates an increase of 65-70 percent. This is followed up by stagnation with a rent increase of two percent per year. The difference in these three simulations is how the final percentage is reached, and how they affect the housing demand. Our target is to create pathways and incentives to build and maintain rental units, to stabilize the rental market and most important, to emphasize the human rights to housing. ; Hyresmarknaden i Stockholm fungerar inte som den ska.
