MIPIM 2023 Digital Edition

Investing in Austria
1
2023 will definitely be a challenging year for the real estate industry; personally, I am
optimistic! Interest rate developments and inflationary events have put the brakes
on market activity - and further interest rate steps are expected. Adjustments to this
situation will still take some time and therefore the question of favorite asset classes
cannot be answered with any certainty at the moment.

The changed interest rate environment
with all the associated developments
is undoubtedly the key challenge - in
addition to real estate investments, other
investments have also become more
attractive again, and the capital market is
reorienting itself accordingly.
Rising interest rates, the development of inflation
with increasing prices in all possible areas of life
and a continuing tense geopolitical situation will
continue to occupy us and harbor imponderables
and uncertainty - and this affects those actively
involved in the industry as well as the consumers
or final users.

A mindset that is forward-oriented and
less nostalgic about the past - hoping that
“things will go back to the way they were” is
definitely too simplistic.

As the Austrian market leader in real
estate valuation, we want to continue to
be a reliable partner for our customers,
especially in such challenging times.
We will maintain our solid growth
course of the past years and see
ongoing training and qualification of
