While Berliners are pushing for a referendum to lower rents, investors are in no hurry to leave the market

On the one hand, trends in the global economy indirectly lead to the fact that the annual interest rates remain low. And the financing conditions in Germany are very attractive.

On the other hand, residents continue to try to apply pressure against large companies. The ones that own a considerable number of housing units in order to ease the rent burden. This is due to significant increases in rental prices throughout the country.

Recently, it has become increasingly difficult to ignore the atmosphere of a trade war hovering over Washington and Beijing. This has a great impact on the world economy. And Germany is no exception in this respect. In the current situation, many international giants are experiencing new restrictions. Such as imposing a customs duty of 25%, fearing the immediate future. And therefore exercising more caution in other arenas.

This could mean that existing agreements or future transactions will not materialize. It is a matter of time before Germany, as a giant exporter of machinery and industry, will feel the consequences.

Accordingly, many economists are forced to change their prognosis for the coming year for Germany. The stock market in Germany took this into account. And for a time real estate stocks experienced a certain decline. But since then they have strengthened and returned to the upward trend. The ECB had to change its forecasts so abruptly downwards. It probably will not raise interest rates quickly.
