European Apartment Prices are Stabilizing, but Lag Rental Growth with Buyers Remaining Cautious – Catella Research
Demand for housing in major European cities and urban centres remains high and is not being met by constrained construction supply, which is continuing to pushup rents. Following the downturn in recent quarters, the price trend for owner-occupied apartments is in a stabilization phase. High inflation is putting pressure on net household incomes and, together with the price trend of recent years and increased financing costs, is making private buyers much more cautious. These are the key findings of the latest Catella Residential Market Overview Q1/ 2024, which analyses the residential markets of 63 cities in 20 European countries.

Catella Infographic - Shop ‘til you drop? Growth and transformation prospects in the retail sector.
Retail is suffering across Europe! No, especially as generalized statements indicate a general trend, but a more in-depth market analysis reveals major differences within the EU member states and the UK. The fact is that there are many solutions in the largest retail sub-segment, shopping centers, to "return to pre-pandemic figures". However, this is where the first error in thinking lies: it was already foreseeable in the middle of the last decade that the times of steadily rising transaction volumes and increasing customer frequency had reached their peak - on a European average, mind you. There was hope immediately after the pandemic. However, this turned out to be a classic catch-up effect - in combination with the turnaround in interest rates, the war and consumer restraint.

Catella - European Logistics Markets 2024
More than ever, global developments are having a significant impact on the transportation, transport and logistics markets. On the surface, the tense geopolitical and economic environment, such asthe war in Ukraine, Houthi attacks in the Gulf of Aden, volatility in inflation rates, interest rate turnaround, and rise in freight rates is reflected in global supply chains and therefore also in the European transaction markets.
