Residential Market Germany 2010/2011

2010/2011

Since the start of the financial crisis in 2007/2008, with the associated uncertainty in the capital and commercial property markets, investors worldwide have been seeking investment vehicles that provide stable value and a return on capital invested that exceeds that on government bonds and is above the rate of inflation. It appears that the risk-return profile of German residential property is attractive to private and institutional investors, both foreign and domestic. In 2008, CB Richard Ellis in Germany registered a slight decline in the demand for residential investment property. However, in 2009, and, in particular, in 2010, interest in residential investments has recovered significantly. In the first six months of the current year, the trend of a solidifying demand for German residential investment property is continuing to show.
