Residential Market Investor Survey Residential Market Investor Survey

Residential real estate investor survey 2021

Verena Bauer • 29/07/2021

Residential real estate in Germany is in demand as never before – so it is hardly surprising that investment in this asset class proved resilient during the Covid-19 pandemic and is considered stable and secure.

But what exactly are the drivers of the increasing investment activity by both domestic and international investors in German residential real estate? What are the major potential risks and challenges in this market? And what are the market participants expectations regarding residential investments in the short-, medium- and long-term?

 

Main topics of the survey:

  • Who are the investors?
  • What are investors looking for?
  • What are the acquisition and sales objectives?
  • How is the residential asset class developing?

The planned break-up of Tegut among Edeka, Rewe and other buyers is not only reshaping the German grocery retail sector. It also affects numerous retail properties, the interests of their owners, existing lease agreements and the local supply of entire neighborhoods.
