Purely quantitative studies are insufficient to analyse the structural and social aspects of housing: it is necessary to define concepts, extent approaches and to understand that residential studies should also resort to qualitative analyses to achieve a further understanding of the situation. This paper is based on the analysis of 35 focused interviews about Spain’s housing crisis. The results show that there are only two discursive types: a critical discourse and a conservative discourse. In the dialectical confrontation of both views, some key factors for understanding the housing market are left out, which may lead to a new crisis scenario.engCreative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License [BY-NC]http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/3.0/es/HousingCrisisDiscoursesSpainjournal articleopen access
