Deutsche Bank har analyseret afkastet på investeringerne i de tyske ejendomme og konstaterer, at der er relativt store forskelle i byer og regioner, men at investering i ejendomme giver et bedre afkast end i obligationer. Afkastet ligger mellem 3,5 og 5 pct.
Uddrag fra Deutsche Bank:
Returns from residential real estate
The COVID-19 crisis has intensified the lack of profitable low-risk investments, which is why numerous investors probably regard the German residential market as an attractive alternative to the bond markets.
Rental returns have been trending downwards for ten years now, and the development looks set to continue until the spread between rental returns and low-risk bond yields has narrowed significantly further.
Despite the coronavirus crisis, rents have continued their uptrend in 2020 according to the latest data. Rents for re-let properties were up by about 2% yoy in the 126 cities we cover. The increase considerably exceeded consumer price inflation (0.5%) and rent inflation (1.4%).
This outcome is remarkable, particularly in view of the fact that Germany is currently experiencing the most serious economic crisis since World War II and that regulatory efforts have been taken to keep a lid on rents. Even in Berlin, rents rose by almost 2%, despite regulatory headwinds.
Prices for existing properties were up nearly 6% yoy in 2020. As a result, average rental returns declined again, to 4.3% p.a. Overall, rental returns were down in 113 out of 126 cities.
These figures confirm our forecasts of April 2020; back then, we expected prices to rise and rental returns to decline. All in all, rental returns hover around 3.5%-4.0% and 4.0%-4.5% in 67 out of 126 cities. In metropolitan areas (A cities), rental returns are even lower, at 3.2%. Rental returns are particularly high in the 25 east German cities, at an average of 5.0% (west German cities: 4.1%).
