Catella Investment locations Germany 2023 Office

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.

Catella Market Indicator, Spring 2023, has been published

From a strong property market to uncertain times Year 2022 was a year of change that marked the end of a longterm strong property investment market. The change is due to the war in Ukraine, which rapidly increased inflation and eventually interest rates to a much higher level than had become the norm. Transaction market was really strong during the first half of the year, but an exceptionally radical turn took place in the summer, and the rest of the year was challenging in terms of property investments.
