"La regulación es necesaria. La intervención es contraproducente y se demuestra en los mercados"

"Regulation is necessary. Intervention is counterproductive, and this is demonstrated in the markets." In this segment from the special Housing Month program on Radio Inter's "Investment and Housing" show, analyst Carlos Balado explains the complex paradox of the Spanish real estate market, where sales are slowing down but prices continue to rise. The guest details the serious structural housing deficit in Spain, supported by data that reflects the gap between the creation of more than 240,000 homes annually and the construction of barely 90,000 properties. Balado also delves into the underlying causes of this problem: the lack of efficiency in managing developable land, bureaucratic delays that postpone projects for up to 20 years, and the pressing shortage of skilled labor. Finally, it analyzes the specific case of Barcelona as a laboratory for rental price control policies, concluding that interventionist measures have significantly reduced market supply and available square footage, arguing that the only effective way to balance the market is through genuine supply stimulus. 🔊 Tune in: 📍 Madrid: 93.5 FM 📍 Santiago: 105.6 FM 📍 A Coruña: 87.7 FM All the information at 👉 https://www.radiointer.es/ #housing #economy #realestate #rent #spain #market #invest #mortgage #land #prices #barcelona #news #currentaffairs #realestate
