4. - 4 - What happens in German Real Estate markets? Demand:
often results in a premium of the portfolio value as compared to the sum of the individual properties
next to national and international funds, insurances and pension funds are mainly investing in office and retail
during the past years a vast amount of residential real estate was sold through portfolio transactions
summarizing these factors, an increase in purchase prices together with a yield compression are seen in several German cities
Supply:
Companies and the state that own properties that do not belong to the main business activity sell their real estate
several funds now see a good opportunity to sell single properties at attractive prices
Further:
after international investors were able to obtain debt for investing with high leverage, German banks are willingly to finance those investments as well
the interest rate levels remains at an attractive level which favors the financing of real estate

5. - 5 - Office property market Germany German office rents
What:
Graph shows the rental development of 67 locations in Germany in their respective class A regions (weighted)
How:
after a strong rise of property rents in 2000, a slump began in 2001 and strengthened between 2003 and 2005
since 2006 we see an upward trend in rents that is likely to continue over the next years
Why:
from 1996 onwards a great boom was characterised by high demand
since 2002 augmented supply decreased absorption and weakened demand which put pressure on rents
the excess supply won‘t burden the market for a long time with both rents and prices are projected to rise
German total office stock
What:
graph shows the total office stock of 67 locations in Germany indexed at 2000 because no reliable data on the square metres can be obtained
How:
between 1996 and 2005, total office stock increased by approx. 12 %
from 2004 onwards total office stock will only see a slight increase
Why:
after an increase in demand, supply came to the market over the past years and stopped when the demand was satisfied
due to a relatively low volume of supply in the future the general vacancy rate is expected to fall
Rents and purchase prices
What:
graph shows %-change in rents and purchase prices as compared to the previous year
How:
after negative growth from 1996 to 1998 in both rents and purchase prices, purchase prices began to increase even higher than rents between 1999 and 2001
between 2002 and 2004, both rents and purchase prices had negative growth
between 2005 onwards rents and purchase prices are going to increase as well
Why:
between 2002 and 2005 rents and purchase prices declined especially in top cities due to a huge supply
the relatively low volume of new supply leads to a moderate increase in purchase prices over the next years
Total return
What:
graph shows total return of class A properties subsuming rental yield and price appreciation
How:
in 1996 class A office rents had negative total returns
between 1997 and 2001 total returns increased up to 15%
2001 until 2005 total returns declined until they became negative
from 2006 to 2015 stable total returns between 6 and 8 % are expected
Why:
the cyclical economic downswing that set in just after the turn of the century led to sharply declining office rents and prices
due to recent increase in supply but only moderate activity in the future, yields won‘t be at the level they were in 2000German office rents

2. However, there is additional potential in ..... Bargains can be escpecially made in Leipzig and Berlin
in Berlin und Leipzig erhalten. If anybody is willingly to invest with a bit more risk these are the right places because returns are higher. If the risks are reduced due to a good tenant mix, I did most of it right.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In this graph you see the risk-adjusted potential.
i.e. location A: Rental yield 5,5% Appreciation 2,4 % Risk discount 0,5 %
= risk-adjusted yield 7,4 %
i.e.. Standort B: Rental yield 6 % Appreciation 2 % Risk discount 1 %
= risk-adjusted yield 7 %

9. - 9 - Which parts of Germany represent favourable residential investment opportunities? DemographyDemographie is not only concerned about birth and death rates. It furthermore considers the general developments of the population through internal migration.
What we see here, is...
for example - a particular high growth in the regions ...
- main determinant are working places
During the past years, we had an extensive internal migration
- 1990 to 2000: + 7% in Bavaria and Baden-Wurttemberg,
- 7% in Sachsen and Thüringen
and we will see that in the future as well
- 2000 bis 2020: + 40 % County of Potsdam-Mittelmark
- 30 % Jena
However you have to be careful with those forecasts,
- as the movement of one large company can even in one county lead to a huge change.
as many parameters are hardly to forecast ex ante. These are for example the structural change or successfull regional economics or education politics.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
generally the internal migration will be diversified; Northern Germany (except of Hamburg) the Ruhr area and the Eastern part of Germany will loose; the Rhineland and main parts of the South will win.
Conclusion: in vast parts of Germany, some suburban areas remain as islands of growth. (Bundesamt für Bauwesen und Raumplanung).

10. - 10 - What are the best places for retail property investments?
11. - 11 - Conclusion property owners should check, whether a sale is profitable
property investors should search for locations that are not in the focus of foreign, private and institutional investors
property yields are still attractive in relation to many other countries
intense competition between investors that target German property leads to a demand for expertise in investment selection - German and foreign investors are currently searching for German property and often pay attractive prices
Property investors should search in areas other than the classic main investment cities such as München, Hamburg, Berlin, Frankfurt, Düsseldorf, Stuttgart, Köln, Leipzig
rising property prices and only moderately rising rents are leading to a yield compression? however in an international context, Germany still has a potential for further yield compression
however, the increasing competition for profitable properties demands for a sophisticated investment selection with the ability to identify attractive objects may be also through off-market deals
