A mortgage beyond 15yrs , and/or with total interest repayments equal or more than the principal amount, is equivalent to "renting from a bank."

A 30yrs already guarantees to work the whole life to repay it.

In Germany, the population is currently decreasing. They will need to try hard to keep the housing ponzi going.

austria is 100yr gov bonds (not direct related to housing)

If population declining, means more houses available and pricea should go down...

no - 5% people lot of extra cash who will buy but not for living - parking fund outside the bank - not liquid is fine.

Not sure what you mean? Boomers are dieing and gen z and millenials have no kids. Who will buy these houses? -400k per year in DE alone

they have funds - they buy property just to park funds

using cash - no mortagage
