Why New Home Start Programme in Hungary Could Bring Down Rents

• 8 Aug 2025 7:19 AM

A subsidised credit scheme for first-time home buyers could reduce rents by easing demand and increasing supply, especially in the capital and university towns, listed real estate broker Duna House said in a press release on Thursday.

Duna House chief analyst Peter Szego said that if just one-tenth of renters in the capital, around 20,000 households, availed of the 3pc fixed-rate home loans, rental rates could fall by 16-17pc in the mid-term, saving tenants HUF 40,000-43,000 a month.

Duna House data show the average price of a home in the capital purchased for investment purposes is HUF 88.4m. In the rest of the country, the average price is HUF 36.4m.

The Home Start subsidised credit will be available from September 1.
