An Important and Sought-After Asset Class:
For semi-professional investors such as high-net-worth private individuals, family offices and foundations, it is becoming increasingly difficult to generate acceptable returns through comparatively safe investment vehicles. Central banks will continue their low-interest policy much longer than originally assumed, which forces investors to keep intensifying their efforts to find profitable investment opportunities. Real estate in Germany has long been considered one of the best investment options for semi-professional investors – with residential real estate scoring particularly high because it is crisis-proof and stable-valued.

Since 2010, Germany’s Residential Property Market has been Paced by Steep Price Hikes Based on Sound Fundamentals:
Particularly in the metro regions, a persistently strong demand for residential accommodation coincides with a housing supply shortage. The positive demographics and the economic strength of Germany’s conurbations makes residential real estate a sought-after asset class. To be sure, it is reasonable to expect the price trend, which has been rising at a fast pace since 2010, to lose some of its momentum in future. But choosing the right strategies and competencies will continue to make it possible to generate attractive returns without having to accept too much exposure.
