Transparent and reliable information on the main trends, developments and realities in Europe are essential to learn from the past, to understand the current challenges and to be able to draw some conclusions for the future of European housing and mortgage markets according to the evolving socio-economic landscape. The quantitative analysis presented in this publication aims to capture the trends and attitudes of European lenders and borrowers and highlight some of the driving forces of housing and mortgage markets. Mortgage credit remains one of the major contributors to real economic growth. Furthermore, given its fundamental role in facilitating access to homeownership, it plays a vital role in the socio-economic life of citizens of the old continent. In addition, if, on the one hand, the purchase of a house represents the most significant acquisition an individual will ever make, on the other hand mortgage and housing markets are deeply influenced by the individual’s choice about where, when and what types of dwellings he/she will buy, which as a consequence has an impact on the decisions relating to the real estate market in the medium to long term. Against this background, we are delighted to present you the 2017 edition of Hypostat, the EMF-ECBC’s statistical publication on European housing and mortgage markets. Since the publication of the first edition in 1998, Hypostat has established itself as an industry benchmark for quantitative and qualitative analysis in this area. It is a result of intense cooperation between financial market analysts, national banking associations and the most eminent mortgage and housing market experts in Europe. Hypostat brings together over 30 contributors, commenting on historical annual series for 30 indicators, covering, where data is available, the 28 Member States of the European Union and beyond. The country chapters of our publication offer the most comprehensive and accurate source of data available on the respective markets and outline developments observed over the past year. Besides a general analysis of European mortgage and housing markets, Hypostat includes external articles focusing on significant topics which have an impact on these markets. In the ongoing debate of improving financial stability in Europe, with outstanding residential mortgage accounting for 47% of EU GDP, the financing of residential real estate is undeniably at the centre of the discussion. One of the key indicators for assessing the riskiness of a mortgage loan is the Loan-to-Value (LTV) ratio. As straightforward as it seems, this ratio can be calculated and interpreted in several different ways. In this edition, we contribute to this discussion by presenting an article prepared by European DataWarehouse (EDW) on the various ways the LTV ratio can be assessed in certain countries of the EU together with its policy implications. The article also takes advantage of the granular database of EDW to provide empirical findings on the relationship between LTV and the probability of default. Considering that in the past years house prices have increased substantially and that wages, especially in the
