EU Building Permits for New Dwellings Show Signs of Stabilisation

Original: EU building permits new dwellings, May 2022 – May 2026 EU Building Permits for New Dwellings Show Signs of Stabilisation

New figures on EU building permits for dwellings from May 2022 to May 2026 suggest the residential construction sector is finding a floor. Permit issuance fell sharply between 2022 and 2024 as higher interest rates and construction costs hit housing projects, but recovery took hold during 2025. Commenters note that while the trend has stabilised, momentum going into 2026 remains uncertain, leaving questions about whether the recovery can address Europe's housing shortage.

Why now: Housing affordability and construction activity are pressing concerns across Europe, so any sign that new home building has stopped declining draws attention.
