Residential property in the shadow of demographics and economic crisis: Development influencing factors

The property market in Germany is dependent on national and international factors. These include economic developments, conditions on the financial and capital markets, and demographic developments at home and abroad. This paper examines the current situation in the property industry in Germany and presents examples from the United States and across Europe. The focus is on the factors that influence the supply and demand for property. The aim is to provide an overview of the factors that influence the supply and demand for real estate. Another aim of this paper is to determine a medium- and long-term assessment for the price development of German residential real estate. The forecasts and analyses in this book are intended to raise awareness among readers, as the sword of Damocles in the form of the debt crisis continues to hang over everyone.
