Real estate prices have increased on the back of CSOK
napi.hu, 5 October – A study shows that the family home allowance (CSOK) has not improved the birth rate, but its amount has been incorporated into the price of homes. Three quarters of the subsidy was bunt up by the price rise, and the number of people having three children has not increased even in the light of the millions of Forints granted by the state. Many people used the subsidy to buy property as an investment. The introduction of the new allowance has pushed up property prices significantly, making it even more difficult for young couples to buy a home. Only 23% of those who received state support agreed in advance to bear a child, well below the national average (33%). 77% of claimants only apply for support after a child that has already been born. More than half of them only committed to one baby, 45 percent committed to two children and only 2 percent dared to commit to having three children after receiving the subsidy. The income level of those who anticipated having a child was typically lower than that of those who already had children; for them, the subsidy was a great help in buying their own property.
