The real estate investment market in motion: what lies ahead for the rest of 2025?
The first half of 2025 painted a surprisingly resilient picture. Despite geopolitical tensions and economic uncertainty, real estate investment volume rose by 9% to €5.2 billion. Declining interest rates, improved financing conditions, and ample liquidity play an important role in this.
However, sector differences remain significant:
- The retail market saw an impressive 61% increase in investment volume, largely driven by major shopping centers.
-
Residential investments accounted for 38% of total allocation, with the majority in standing homes due to privatization strategies. New-build assets lagged behind, despite government targets, due to limited supply and a lack of foreign capital.
-
The office market is cautiously showing signs of recovery in both activity and bidding levels.
-
The logistics market lost ground, but the outlook remains positive: our pipeline data indicates continued momentum in the second half of the year.
What do these developments mean for investors, developers, and policymakers? Which sectors offer opportunities, and where do the risks lie? And how important is tax neutrality in attracting international capital?
In our Mid-Year Real Estate Market Outlook 2025 report, we dive deeper into the numbers, analyze the trends, and share our perspective for the remainder of the year.
