Nevetheless, 64% of people rent in Germany. (source: https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https:...)

House prices in Germany are 120% of the average for the whole EU and looking at the graph they seem to be slightly higher than the middle of the pack. They certainly don't seem to be outrageously unaffordable, unlike Ireland. (source: https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/cache/digpub/housing/bloc-2a.h...)

Yet more people own in Ireland than in Germany. Ireland saw the bigger growth rate in the last 10 years, but Germany was already quite expensive in that period.
