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.
CBRE Deutschland, led by CEO Kai Mende, is the largest provider of commercial real estate services and investments, boasting over 150,000 employees across 100 countries. Mende, who has been leading German operations since 2024, previously spent nearly two decades at JLL, a rival firm. Mende sees the greatest untapped potential in classic active asset management, which involves targeted investment in properties that are modernized or revitalized to increase their value.
However, many properties remained off the market following the interest rate shift, as sellers and buyers had vastly different expectations for prices. Slowly, movement is returning to the transaction market. Mende himself cites the interest rate turn in 2022 as a pivotal moment, demonstrating how swiftly market mechanisms can change.
Prior to that, the real estate market had been in a superbubble, seemingly unstoppable - even the pandemic couldn't slow it down. Following the rate hike, the market has finally begun to normalize.
