UBS reported on Thursday that European real estate markets appear to be entering a new investment cycle, with key indicators pointing to stabilization. “A new cycle starts,” the report said, as investment volumes show signs of bottoming out. After a period of inflation and rising interest rates, the UK saw a 6.5% quarter-on-quarter growth in Q2 2024, contributing to a 1.6% overall growth in Europe. The eurozone, however, experienced a 1.9% contraction due to slower adjustments in property valuations, though this gap is expected to close soon. Risk-adjusted yields have improved as inflation eases and interest rates stabilize, signaling more favorable conditions. While the German residential market is stabilizing, weaker leasing fundamentals in low-quality office spaces continue to drive upward pressure on yields.
