Germany

Germany

As the largest economy in the European Union and with a population of 82 million, Germany is an attractive market for real estate investment.

Interest rates are at an all-time low and there is reason to believe that the difficulties of the global financial crisis will be overcome sooner than expected. After struggling for years to overcome economic stagnation and the extraordinary burdens of reunification, the German Wirtschaftswunder has regained strength. For many, Germany’s real estate market is seen as a safe haven for investment, but it is more than that. Germany offers a great opportunity for investors seeking both the security of a European economic powerhouse and the potential of a real estate market which still offers hidden gems for those seeking to invest their money in opportunities with growth potential.

A highly educated workforce, comprehensive infrastructure, low inflation, economic and political stability and the lack of restriction on foreigners buying properties all make Germany an attractive destination for real estate investors from all over the world.
