Liquidity should be most watched real estate indicator in 2018

PATRIZIA Immobilien AG recommends that liquidity should be the indicator for institutional property investors to watch most closely in the coming quarters, according to its latest INSIGHT Commercial Property 2018 research report.

Central bank tapering across Europe will crucially influence the overall liquidity situation and, ultimately, pricing across the continent, the report states. This will especially hold true outside the core segment and in niche markets that have seen strong money inflows in the past years due to investors looking for yield.

Dr Marcus Cieleback, group head of research at PATRIZIA, commented: “While a lot of investors rightly focus on yields and interest rates, we believe the coming quarters are more likely to be defined by market liquidity. The main challenge now in Europe is local access to suitable products and the experience to assess future income streams, despite the fact that investment strategies in real estate have broadened. Overcome these challenges and you should prosper.”

The report also revealed that investment in retail property has experienced declining volumes for the second year in a row.
