All over Europe the housing markets of metropolitan and regional locations continue to show a growing demand with stagnating purchase prices at the same time. Meanwhile, people are moving back more to cities and urban centers, but yields are rising everywhere.

There is no question that the mood on the European real estate markets is not only gloomy, but is also measurably reflected in the declining transaction volume in the second quarter of 2022.

With the end of the first quarter of 2022, a clear message can be heard from the European housing markets: It remains THE most dynamic real estate class.

Let's not fool ourselves: the fact that the transport, traffic, and logistics industry will continue to be systemically important is becoming clear to many people these days with a view to the geopolitical situation. The interruption and rerouting of transport flows will lead to a short-term increase in storage capacity, which already was a lesson from the first Covid year 2020. The focus here will be less on the “last mile” and more on the “nearshoring” functions. In sober economic language, this means: "Logistics will continue to be a dynamic growth market".
