Abstract

The development of home ownership in the second half of the 20th century has been perceived as an asset and a significant contributor to wealth accumulation. However, rising property prices and increasingly stringent mortgage lending criteria have placed this model under pressure, particularly for younger generations. Recent territorial reforms and expansionary monetary policies, such as the European Central Bank's quantitative easing (QE) programme, have produced asymmetric effects on regional housing markets. This study applies a spatial econometric model to French departments to investigate how these developments have disproportionately benefited departments located near new regional capitals, thereby exacerbating disparities between these centres and their peripheral territories. By incorporating a spatial perspective, this analysis enriches our understanding of the dynamics between housing finance and regional development while shedding light on the implications of these transformations for financial stability and regional planning policy.
