Europe is currently experiencing a turbulent economic environment. Traditionally, there is a high correlation between macroeconomic developments and the respective real estate markets. At present, falling housing permits, which are synonymous with growth and investment activity among private households, are becoming the focus of political, economic, and public attention: "too expensive," "too slow" and, above all, "too few”.

There is no question about it: "The" office remains an integral part of the modern working world, even after the Corona pandemic and the experience of "remote working". But the balance between the old working world and the new more flexible conditions, has not yet been found. Statements from corporates to traditional mid-sized companies do not create a clear picture. At the very least, it seems clear that the classic 100% presence - especially in service professions - will no longer exist.

The German commercial real estate markets are in a turbulent environment. The ECB's interest rate turnaround in July 2022 ended the low-interest phase in the eurozone. Last year, the key interest rate was raised by 250 basis points in four steps, with a further 100 basis points added so far this year. Due to continued high inflation rates, at least one further interest rate hike by the ECB by the middle of the year is a realistic scenario. The significant rise in interest rates and the ongoing macroeconomic tensions and uncertainties are leading to restraint on the side of numerous players on the German real estate market. A significant reduction in dynamics on the transaction market by probably the end of Q3 2023 is therefore very likely.
