BERLIN RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES ARE INVESTORS DARLING The Berlin investment market is experiencing an impressive recovery in the middle of the year. In the second quarter of 2024, commercial property purchases reached a comparatively high volume of 2.7 billion euros - a sharp increase compared to the first quarter with 0.8 billion euros. This brings investment turnover in the first half of the year to €3.5 billion, an impressive increase of two thirds compared to the previous year. This puts Berlin at the top of the list of German property strongholds by a huge margin, followed by Munich with 1.8 billion euros. Despite the significant growth, investment turnover in the first half of the year is still below the long-term average: the five-year average was missed by 32% and the ten-year figure by 23%. #skjervengroup #newsletter #germanrealestate #optimism #economy #finance #berlinrealestate #realestatenewsletter

Thousands of people recently took to the streets of Barcelona to protest soaring rental prices, a movement that’s only gaining momentum. But who is to blame? It’s a regular move to point fingers at developers and real estate companies for being “greedy,” but what if the root of the problem lies elsewhere? High rents boil down to the basic principle of supply and demand. In the case of Barcelona, there aren’t enough homes available to meet the growing demand. But who controls the housing supply? Of course, developers and builders play a role, but government policies often create the most significant bottlenecks. Bureaucratic red tape, slow approval processes, and inadequate infrastructure investment hinder the construction of new homes. This makes it costly, time-consuming, and, at times, nearly impossible to expand the housing stock where it is needed most. When governments respond to rising rents by imposing price controls, the results are often counterproductive. Berlin is a good example. Rent caps initially seemed like a win for tenants, but they discouraged developers from building. Supply dwindled, demand surged, and rental prices soared even higher in real terms. We need policies that encourage growth instead of stifling the market. Simplifying building approvals, improving infrastructure, and offering incentives for first-time buyers can make a real difference. For example, government-backed programs to subsidize down payments, like the UK's former "First Time Buyer" initiative, can help renters transition to ownership, reducing pressure on rental markets. The path forward is clear: more homes, fewer restrictions, and more intelligent policies. Developers aren’t the villains; they’re part of the solution. Let’s focus on creating a thriving housing market that works for everyone. What’s your take? Do you think rent caps help or hurt in the long run?

The lack of housing is one of the challenges faced by many countries, and Spain's real estate market serves as the ideal example. Recent reports have brought Spain's housing shortage up to 600,000, provoking the same concerns of supply not meeting demand. Nevertheless, we must examine further into what leads to such a stock deficit as well as ways to address it. We should focus more on smart development rather than excessive construction of homes. The high prices in the sector are not the result of a shortage caused by geographical imbalances, but also the additional demand provided by excess credit. The reality is that investors and developers must operate within this landscape, so how can both groups capitalise on domestic and global opportunities? Another question is how can decision makers capitalise on elements of growth that really matter? What is the best way of making sure we don't build homes that don't currently exist and will never be occupied? What can we do to make sure this expansion is rational as well as inclusive? Spain's construction data reveals that the fact that we are building more is not the solution. We need to be strategic in our expansion of supply and must take into account local needs, economic realities and global opportunities. #Realestate #Housingmarket https://lnkd.in/ddnyXiDS
