Where to look in Germany?The stall is well laid out for Germany to see a strong housing market in the short to medium term. Business and consumer confidence is now higher than it has ever been since re-unification in 1990, interest rates are at record lows and unemployment falling fast in many regions. Against this backdrop, German house prices have been fairly unremarkable, indeed boring, over the last 20 years showing no real appreciable gains in real terms against inflation. Affordability for housing is at record lows, as low as 15% of take home pay needed to service the housing costs, and access to finance for German residents and international investors alike is very good. The German market remains the most under-valued in the world, according to the OECD. This is all quite different to the picture that is other developed countries, who are nursing the direct losses of their nation’s wealth, that of their housing stock and banking sectors at least, after the credit binge and subsequent financial collapse. So, it makes you think Lets take a look a some German cities, and see where advantage lies for investors who have short, medium and long term views on the return of their money. As the re-unified country develops, it makes good sense to look to the more established markets in the former east of the country, and then turn attention to some markets within the former East. |
