A memorable name and a recognizable brand increase the chances of success when dealing with real estate investments. Branding can play a decisive role in this.
The world is changing and accordingly the real estate industry, where transformation is being driven by all sides. The creation of the future of the real estate industry has just started. A recent report in Forbesemphasizes that the true disrupters of the real estate market have yet to emerge. The five most important trends leading to disruption are generative AI, Blockchain (Proptech 3.0 Evolvement), Decarbonization and Sustainability, Contech (innovation in construction) and capital flowing into Proptech projects.
The real estate industry is transforming at an unprecedented speed, with market uncertainty, raising interest rates, inflation, fear of recession and geopolitical tensions acting as a catalyst for change. Technological developments in proptech, the impact of ESG criteria and the changes in the way people live, work and shop are having a profound impact on all aspects of the real estate value chain, including how family offices and institutional investors allocate their capital.
After several prosperous years in real estate dictated by low interest rates and expansive monetary policy, last year turned out to be the abrupt end of it. Surging inflation in most European countries led Central Banks to quickly tighten financial conditions by increasing interest rates several times throughout the year. Consequently, European economic growth has slowed and is expected to weaken further. While most real estate occupier markets still show resilience with healthy demand and supply characteristics, higher interest rate levels have started to put upwards pressure on property yields and financing costs (Figure 1).
We wish you and your loved ones a peaceful holiday season filled with joy and laughter, and a healthy start to a successful new year. We look forward to continuing to work with you in 2023.
