Immobilien: „Langsam kommt wieder Bewegung in den Transaktionsmarkt“
Nach langer Flaute kehren Investoren auf den Immobilienmarkt zurück, sagt der Chef des Immobiliendienstleisters CBRE Deutschland – und erklärt, warum die Zinswende ein Aha-Moment für ihn war.
Berlin - Kai Mende, Business Manager of CBRE Germany, reveals that the company is currently the largest provider of commercial real estate services and investments, based on revenue. Over 150,000 employees work in 100 countries, with Mende leading the German operations since 2024. Previously, Mende spent almost 20 years at JLL, a competitor.
Mende believes the largest untapped potential in the real estate industry lies in active asset management, which involves investing in properties to modernize or revitalize them to increase value. However, many properties have been sitting idle since the interest rate shift, as sellers and buyers have vastly different expectations regarding prices.
Slowly, though, movement is returning to the transaction market. Speaking personally, Mende cites the interest rate turn of 2022 as a significant turning point in understanding how quickly market mechanisms can change. Prior to this, the real estate market was experiencing a supercycle that seemed unstoppable, even with the pandemic. After the interest rate hike, the market has finally begun to normalize.
