Rent return rate
Of course, the rental rate of investing in Berlin real estate is still considerable. As the capital and the first-tier city in Europe, Berlin has a relatively high rental return rate, usually 3-5%. The house price in the center of Berlin is basically 4,000-7,000 euros per square meter. Usually, the rental return rate of small apartment (big studio, one bedroom and one living room, two bedrooms and one living room) is also the highest, and a finely decorated house can usually be rented to 20-25 euros/month/meter. However, compared with the North-Guangzhou-Shenzhen 1% point, the rental return rate in Berlin is still good.
House price appreciation
If the city with the highest price increase in Germany in recent years is Berlin, the average annual increase is 10%.
The main reasons for the rise in house prices are as follows:
First, Berlin has become the Silicon Valley of Europe, and the influx of a large number of Internet companies has also driven the capital market. World-renowned Internet companies such as Google, Facebook, Amazon, Tencent and Alibaba have set up branches in Berlin. Top European and global investment companies are also looking for good projects and making venture capital in Berlin. Therefore, the development of the Internet industry has also attracted high-end talents from all over the world to settle in Berlin. The continuous influx of senior talents will inevitably lead to the vigorous development of the local real estate market.
Second, the rapid development of Berlin began in just a few years. Compared with other big cities in Germany, the rooms before Berlin have been at a low price stage. House prices in Munich, Frankfurt, Hamburg and even Dü sseldorf are much higher than those in Berlin. As the capital of Germany and the Internet center of Europe, Berlin has naturally become a price depression in the eyes of investors. The previous price difference with other cities will inevitably gradually narrow.
Europeans, Russians and Jews who know Berlin well have long seen this. So now the real estate market often sees real estate investors in these places.
Economic recovery in the euro zone and appreciation of euro assets.
20 17 in the second quarter, the economic situation in the euro zone showed a positive recovery trend, and the economies of major countries such as France, Germany, Italy and Spain showed obvious improvement. The growth rate of German manufacturing industry is the fastest in more than six years, and the service industry is still strong. The growth rate of service industry in France and Italy also maintained a strong momentum. A series of reports show that the growth of enterprise activities in the euro zone will push the economy onto the road of sustained recovery.
According to the economic data of the euro zone in the second quarter recently released by Eurostat, the GDP of the euro zone in the second quarter increased by 2.2% year-on-year and 0.6% quarter-on-quarter. At the same time, the GDP of the 28 EU countries increased by 2.8% year-on-year and 0.6% quarter-on-quarter, which was better than the previous quarter. So far, the euro zone economy has continuously expanded 17 quarters.
The rapid economic growth in the euro zone has also promoted the substantial appreciation of the euro. For international real estate investors, investing in real estate will also bring huge gains in exchange rate. At the beginning of this year, the RMB was maintained at 7.2 against the euro, but in the past two months, the exchange rate has climbed to 7.8, and even approached 8.0 for a few days. In less than half a year, the exchange rate profit will exceed 10%.
