Analýza současných trendů na trhu pražských nemovitostí mezi studenty a mladými profesionály

The diploma thesis deals with the analysis of the Prague residential real estate market. The aim is to provide the reader with an insight into current trends in this market regarding, among other things, the coronavirus crisis and to show the effects of current trends on housing affordability and their interrelationships. Subsequently, a solution to the deteriorating availability of owner-occupied housing is proposed. The study focuses primarily on Prague, but for comparison purposes it also deals with other significant cities in the Czech Republic or other major European cities. By means of a questionnaire survey, the preferences for housing of the respondents are ascertained in the practical part. These preferences are used to analyze the demand for rental and owner-occupied housing. Based on the answers of respondents, who are students or young professionals, preferences are compiled for individual parameters of housing for young creditworthy people, who form a major part of the demand for development projects. Developers, investors, individuals, and companies interested in this issue can then proceed from these preferences. This analysis is beneficial especially for investors, developers, as well as for individuals or companies interested in this issue to whom it can help to assess the perspective of their intended projects. The work demonstrates that current trends in the housing market clearly favor rental housing at the expense of owner-occupied housing. The deteriorating availability of owner-occupied housing is being addressed through the construction of PRS projects, which correspond to the possibilities and preferences of the respondents of the questionnaire survey and whose construction is necessary due to the insufficiently supplied development market.
