Germany Set to Enjoy a Good Year for Residential Sales

Posted On: 22/04/2012

According to Savills, Germany is set to enjoy a very good year of residential sales, especially as more residential units are being sold in large packages of around 10,000 units for the first time since 2007. Germany is well known for being a nation of renters, so the market is attractive to institutional buyers and investment groups.

During the first quarter of 2012 more than 75% of residential transactions in Germany were for less than 300 units, although there were two very large portfolio sales. This average is consistent with figures seen during the final quarter of last year, but is a decline of 18% year-on-year. This is largely due to difficulties in obtaining financing for all but core properties.

Savills figures show the residential portfolio market is dominated by German buyers, and during the first quarter of this year they accounted for 78% of the market. This is consistent with trends seen last year which saw fewer foreign investors entering the market. Between 2004 and 2007, large packages of residential property were being bought up by foreign investors.

In the first quarter of 2012, property in Berlin was the most popular with nearly 6,000 units sold, and total investment for the first quarter of 2012 is already 60% of the total investment seen in the whole of 2011.

Total investment for the first quarter reached €2.92 billion, compared to €4.8 billion for the whole year. Savills is confident investment this year will reach €6 billion; however this volume will only be reached if there are more large scale purchases. The purchase of portfolios consisting of less than 1,000 residential units is likely to remain steady.
