In 2030, the baby boomers (born between 1945 and 1960) in large numbers of their apartments will leave. Already come through the outflow of older households annually approximately 30.00 apartments free. In 2030, there were 50,000. That’s equivalent to the total annual production of new owner-occupied homes before the credit crisis. Simultaneously, over time, the number of young families, making the demand for single-family houses may drop.

‘Do not build too much

Although the housing market shows slight recovery is a warning for too many optimism in place. ,, Caution with building “, warns the Environmental Assessment Agency (PBL) in a report published Wednesday.

There is less and less moved in the Netherlands. In 1995 moved another 12 percent of the Dutch, now that is 8 percent annually. Among the elderly, the residential mobility by 5 percent lower.

Many homeowners among baby boomers

About 15 to 20 years the 75-plus households will be significantly increased to 1.4 million households in 2030 ,, Once these elderly people are unable to live or die, get their own homes free. These are mostly owner-occupied, because the baby boomers more often than the prewar generation homeowner, “writes the PBL.

Provinces and municipalities in particular are doing it under the PBL good to take these future population developments to account. ,, Adapting the existing housing stock to the actual needs are more important than new construction. Also reallocating existing (empty) offices, shops and other real estate can be an alternative to building new homes, “advises the PBL.
