Dreams That Keep Getting Postponed

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.
