IW Sentiment Index: Real estate managers are sceptical about the coming months
The mood in the industry is slightly improving at a weak level. This is shown by the IW mood index, which was previously available to the Handelsblatt. The recently increased construction interest rates are having a negative impact.
The German real estate industry has seen a slight improvement in sentiment, according to a survey by the Institute of the German Economy (IW) and the Central Real Estate Committee (ZIA). However, the recovery is considered moderate and indicates a stabilization at a low level rather than a sustainable trend reversal. The survey shows that the situation in project development remains highly tense, while the office segment has stabilized after a strong decline in the previous quarter.
The industry is concerned about further regulation, with 87% of respondents citing the discussion on additional regulation as a major investment obstacle.
