The springtime recovery of the German macro-economy is spilling over into the real estate industry. This is the key conclusion of the monthly King Sturge Real Estate Economy Index in its February survey among 1,000 relevant market players.
The springtime recovery of the German macro-economy is spilling over into the real estate industry. This is the key conclusion of the monthly King Sturge Real Estate Economy Index in its February survey among 1,000 relevant market players.
All of the sub-indices climbed to now high-water marks, leaving less and less room for further improvements. The poll-based Real Estate Climate rose from 141.8 to 144.6 index points. The driving force behind the February trend is the Investment Climate, which increased by 2.6 percent to 149.8 index points (up from 146.0 points the previous month).
'On the one hand, the mounting interest in Germany shown by many international investors is based on the country’s sound macro-economic development, which contrasts favourably with many other key national economies, while on the other hand it is rooted in the then-as-now highly attractive real estate market whose risk-return profile continues to offer great opportunities,' explained Sascha Hettrich, managing partner of Kings Sturge Deutschland.
