TL;DR
- The increase in housing purchase drop-offs in Bogotá and Cundinamarca is a structural problem, not a temporary one.
- The elimination of the Mi Casa Ya program disrupted the financial equation for thousands of households and the construction sector's planning.
- Over half of the withdrawals are due to financing restrictions and payment capacity.
- The state withdrew a key support pillar for social housing without an orderly transition, shifting risk to households and companies.
- Local district responses are helping but do not replace the scale or systemic effect of the national program.
- Fragmented policies lead to a slower, riskier, and less inclusive market, impacting the urban economy.
