Banks have new guidance intended to make leasehold financing easier to underwrite. Industry data suggests the central fear associated…
Der Anstieg der Preise für Wohnimmobilien verlor laut dem Greix-Kaufpreis-Index im zweiten Quartal an Schwung. Inflationsbereinigt sanken die Werte sogar.
Wohnungsmärkte. Investitionen ins Wohnen in Deutschland haben vor allem seit der Büroflaute Hochkonjunktur bei in- und ausländischen Kapitalgebern. Doch die Karte der deutschen Städtelandschaft mit ihren vielen Ober- und Unterzentren neben den klassischen A-Städten ist für viele schwer zu lesen. Da brauche es…
Kaum jemand will derzeit in Büroimmobilien investieren. Das ist ein Fehler, denn aktuell bekommt man sehr gute Objekte so günstig wie lange nicht mehr, glaubt Tim Schomberg, CEO des Investmentmanagers Kingstone Real Estate.
Büroinvestments. Für eine wirkliche Marktbelebung braucht es nach dem jüngsten zarten Renditeanstieg weitere massive Zuwächse. Die Risikoprämie gegenüber Staatsanleihen müsste – konstante Zinsen und Anleiherenditen unterstellt – um mindestens 90, besser 115 Basispunkte und mehr zulegen, hat Newmark ausgerechnet.
Anlagemärkte. Wenig frohe Botschaften hat der Datenbankbetreiber MSCI für das erste Halbjahr am europäischen Investmentmarkt zu bieten. Nach wie vor greifen Käufer nur da zu, wo alles stimmt – also in Spanien.
Bewertung. Auch in wirtschaftlich unsicheren Zeiten wäre es verkehrt, Immobilien mit pauschalen Wertabschlägen zu belegen. Sinnvoll sind stattdessen das Berechnen von Szenarien und die Durchführung von Sensitivitätsanalysen, sagen die Experten von Avison Young Valuation Germany.
Die Beratungsgesellschaft Pom+ hat „erhebliche Wissensdefizite“ im Management von Immobilienfirmen zur neuen KI-Regulatorik festgestellt.
Wenig frohe Botschaften hat der Datenbankbetreiber MSCI für das erste Halbjahr am europäischen Investmentmarkt zu bieten. Nach wie vor greifen Käufer nur da zu, wo alles stimmt – also in Spanien.
Something significant has shifted in Germany's construction industry, largely without being planned. For the first time, the data suggests that renovation, conversion and repurposing of existing buildings are on the verge of overtaking new-build as the dominant form of construction activity in the country.
Germany's hotel market remains open for business in 2026. At the halfway stage, overnight stays are edging higher, investment transactions continue to take place and financing remains available for the right assets. Yet this apparent resilience disguises a market that has become far more discriminating, with…
Germany's rental market is no longer defined simply by rising rents. It is increasingly defined by falling residential mobility. As inadequate housing supply, limited housing turnover and worsening affordability reinforce one another, tenants are remaining in existing homes for longer whilst competition intensifies…
Between the end of 2023 and the end of 2026, residential projects totalling 30.1 million square metres of living space were scheduled for completion across Germany. Around 9.4 million square metres — equivalent to roughly 125,000 homes — will not be delivered. Felix Embacher , managing director of researchers…
Imagine two neighbours in the same apartment building in Munich. Both bought identical apartments for €300,000 in the same year, under the same conditions, with the same financing. One lives in their apartment. The other rents it out. After fifteen years, the landlord has achieved a return on equity of just under…
Homeowners who borrowed during Germany’s era of ultra-cheap money are now reaching refinancing day — and discovering that refinancing in 2026 is not simply about paying a higher interest rate. It is about reconciling two very different financial realities: being substantially wealthier on paper while facing a much…
When REFIRE last updated readers on Germany's open-ended property fund sector in Issue 257, Leading Cities Invest had just become the first fund to enter formal liquidation. The situation has since moved quickly. By the end of June, two further funds had followed: Habona Nahversorgungsfonds Deutschland suspended…
Frankfurt's office market has just produced two headlines that appear to describe different cities. Prime rents in the Central Business District reached €55 per square metre during the second quarter of 2026 — a new all-time high, surpassing even the peak of the dotcom boom. At the same time, office take-up during…
For three years, German real estate has been waiting for a wave of non-performing loans to break. It hasn't happened — and not because the underlying distress isn't real. According to panellists at a recent PB3C webinar on how Germany's property market is dealing with financial distress, lenders, borrowers and fund…
A former Deutsche Börse headquarters in Frankfurt now accommodates 3,200 students under a 30-year lease to the City of Frankfurt . Completed in just two and a half years after its conversion from office use, the project offers perhaps the clearest demonstration yet of why educational real estate is beginning to…
Last month, REFIRE published a guest column by REM Capital 's CEO Jan Bewarder , setting out how generous Germany's 2026 subsidy environment had become for real estate investors and describing a rare window in which previously unviable projects could once again make financial sense. That assessment is holding up…
Germany has 2.9 million university students, one of Europe's most severe shortages of purpose-built accommodation, and the most sought-after operational real estate segment among institutional investors. And yet German PBSA transactions stagnated at around €70 million in both 2023 and 2024. That gap between desire…
Something unusual happened in the German real estate market in the first quarter of 2026. Healthcare properties — nursing homes, outpatient medical centres, Ärztehäuser — accounted for 12% of total transaction volume. The historical average is 2-4%. In absolute terms, the sector recorded over €1 billion in…
Germany's property finance market entered 2026 with a fragile optimism that has not survived contact with reality. The German Real Estate Financing Index — the Difi , compiled quarterly by JLL and the Hamburg Institute of International Economics (HWWI) — fell by almost ten points in Q1 2026 to minus 9.1, slipping…
The day before this panel convened at the Rueckerconsult INVESTMENT Expo in Berlin last week, KanAm Grund signed a lease in the City of London at nearly £110 per square foot. Anthony Bull-Diamond , KanAm's chief executive, mentioned it almost in passing — as live confirmation of a rental trajectory that Philip La…
"Classic core is largely dead. This is the decade of value add." That was Ramin Rabeian 's provocation at last week's Rueckerconsult INVESTMENT Expo in Berlin. The more interesting conclusion, however, was that the distinction itself may no longer matter. What emerged was not a rotation from one strategy to…
Zinsumfeld. Die EZB hat ihre Zinsen im Juli nicht verändert, der weitere Kurs der Notenbank hängt stark von den Energiepreisen und daher der Situation in Nahost ab. Die Zinspause beruhigt den Markt zwar etwas, den schleppenden Abbau von Problemfinanzierungen kann sie aber kaum beflügeln. Ein Studie von Roland…
Zyklus. Noch wartet der europäische Investmentmarkt auf die nächste Boomphase. Die Chance auf eine schnelle Trendwende bei Büros ist gering – auch wenn zum Beispiel AEW hier mit den besten Renditen rechnet, die der Markt aktuell zu bieten hat. Savills setzt seine Hoffnungen derweil auf das zweite Halbjahr.
Im Segment des höchsten Wohnluxus schrauben sich laut dem Onlineportal Immowelt die Preise weiterhin ungebremst in die Höhe. Villen, die vom Out- und Indoor-Pool über den Weinkeller bis zum Hamam alle Wünsche erfüllen, kosten bis zu 27,5 Mio. Euro.
Höhere Kaufpreise für Einfamilienhäuser und gestiegene Bauzinsen sind zuletzt im Bundesdurchschnitt durch gestiegene Löhne ausgeglichen worden, wie eine Studie von Interhyp und IW Köln ermittelt hat.
