The expansion of homeownership has functioned as a key element in the neo-liberalization of housing markets since the 1980s, which in various ways set the ground for the formation of the current GFC. But while homeownership growth has been observed as a general trend across advanced industrialized countries, the concrete form and effects of the changes in tenure structures have differed widely across economic and regulatory contexts.
This paper focuses on the homeownership sectors in three world cities, which have all undergone neo-liberal reforms over the last twenty years: New York, Amsterdam and Tokyo. It compares sector dynamics and tenant profiles over this period exploring the scale of homeownership before and after the reforms on one hand, and the question to whom it caters today and prior to the reforms on the other. In doing so the analysis demonstrates that based on historically established differences in the functioning of the three housing markets also the changes in the homeownership sector in the course of neo-liberal reforms as well as their effects have varied greatly.
