Abstract
Recent literature shows that, resulting from the housing affordability crisis, households frequently settle for homes that were not their primary preference, as it is already difficult enough to get out of the rental sector. Especially, starters are having a difficult time entering the housing market. This study focuses on what happens to starters that do enter the housing market, and aims to investigate the relationship between the neighbourhood quality starters and non-starters attain. The study focuses on the Dutch housing market, specifically Groningen, using data from Kadaster with 41,385 cases. Spanning a 10-year period from 2009 to 2018, the study employs multiple linear regression analysis to examine changes in attained neighbourhood quality disparities between groups. As expected, the findings reveal that starters attain homes in neighbourhoods with lower qualities compared to non-starters. Though, the disparity of neighbourhood quality attainment between starters and non-starters showed a slight decrease over the years, where the attainment of neighbourhood quality for starters went up slightly and for non-starters went down slightly. The findings contribute to neighbourhood attainment literature, by finding empirical evidence for whether and how the changes in neighbourhood attainment between starters and non-starters have changed over time.
