The year <strong>2022</strong> will hardly differ from the previous year in some circumstances. Nevertheless,<br />
I am optimistic that our handling of it will be easier. Residential real estate will achieve<br />
comparable sales prices and be accompanied by similarly high market demand. Nevertheless,<br />
it can be observed that the market is no longer willing to buy „everything.” Small apartments<br />
will sell well as usual - regardless of their sometimes questionable design. Larger investments,<br />
such as purchasing a single-family home, will increasingly be considered according to your<br />
qualitative criteria and will remain on the market for a long time. Office properties are<br />
experiencing a change in their forms and uses, which is also due to COVID-19-related home<br />
office solutions. The demand for large-scale offices will probably decrease.<br />

COVID-19 has led to a worldwide upheaval and change in the office work<br />
environment. As a result of the pandemic and the recommended measures,<br />
everyday office work has been changed from the traditional office desk to the<br />
home office. This is accompanied by the change of lifestyles between the office<br />
world and the home environment. Office and residential lifestyles will change,<br />
but demand, commerce and transactions will continue as usual.<br />
ESG has taken root in all sectors and is becoming an essential part of everyday<br />
activity. Companies will be restricted in allowing agreements to the extent that<br />
they can only award contracts to ESG-compliant companies. As there are no ESG<br />
standards or guidelines yet, there is still a great need for development.<br />

Yes, most definitely. There are two pillars in financing -<br />
one is default and the second is a loss in default. Default<br />
is where annuities are not serviced over a period of time.<br />
This can be due to an inability to pay, but it can also be<br />
due to unwillingness.<br />
Irrespective of this, a payment default is a default that<br />
must be documented based the Basel criteria and means<br />
a risk premium in the refinancing of the banks.<br />
Although a default does not yet mean a loss, it<br />
nevertheless represents an increased risk. The pandemic<br />
may, of course, make payments more difficult, which<br />
may lead to defaults. In any case, default is an increased<br />
risk in the area of bank refinancing, which inevitably has<br />
an impact on financing.<br />
As in any industry, ESG will become an immense driving force. In terms of the<br />
real estate industry, I see real estate financing as an increasingly complex and<br />
hurdling issue. The questions it raises: Will interest rates stay this low? Will<br />
prices continue to rise? And what will happen to construction prices or the<br />
supply of raw materials? Will there be shortages in the procurement market?<br />

We will strengthen our internationality and network with international partners. In doing so,<br />
we will build more substantial differentiation from the competition and expand employee<br />
competencies. Our internal training center will focus on interdisciplinarity, encompassing the<br />
pillars of technology, law, economics and ecology, because our team is of great importance<br />
to us. Furthermore, we will concentrate on labor market security, respectful interaction and<br />
supportive structures as a collaborative concept, as well as fighting the pandemic whose end<br />
can be inferred with social distancing.<br />
