Abstract
In terms of housing, every single move is dependent on another households move, except when there is no previous resident –in case of an addition to the housing stock– or the previous resident does not need a new house –in case of emigration, or death, or a move towards an institution. In these four situations, a chain of moves that are all dependent on each other can be started. Housing vacancy chains give an insight into indirect availability of the housing market. However, to date, this method has not been used often. This research reconstructs all started housing vacancy chains in the Netherlands on a micro level, using register data from Statistics Netherlands. Results show that the type of house is related to age and life-course events: chains that start because of death or an institutional move generate more diverse types of houses further in the chain, while new construction generates more apartments. The results can be used in decisions on which types of houses to build until 2030, as the Dutch government has planned to build 100,000 houses annually.
