Dear Readers,
With its new coalition agreement, the German government has once again missed the opportunity to send out a strong signal in support of housing construction. Rather than offering a strong impetus for investors, policymakers continue to deliver a mishmash of outdated promises and new regulations. This creates uncertainty, which further constrains urgently needed new construction activity.
In the meantime, real estate prices in Berlin are surging again – with both purchase prices and rents soaring. And this trend is not only confined to the capital itself, but is equally evident in the surrounding Brandenburg region.
Institutional investors are also increasingly returning to the residential real estate market, targeting stable medium-sized cities and modern new developments. Innovative housing models and neighbourhood concepts are also gaining traction.
For investors who are proactive and forward-thinking in their approach to shaping the market, there are, as always, plenty of opportunities.
So, stay informed and flexible in this evolving landscape!
