“2026 is a good entry year for many investors”

Henning Koch, Chairman of the Board and CEO at Commerz Real

“Private money from family offices and very wealthy individuals will continue to take advantage of the low competition for high-quality real estate in 2026 to secure it in the long term. Entrepreneurs and businessmen who are willing to take a certain risk with their assets are particularly active. In the decision-making bodies of institutional investors, the risk attitude is naturally much more conservative.”

“2026 is a good entry year for many investors, as the price hurdles are very low. However, there is still a certain risk of volatility, whether due to the economic situation in Germany or geopolitical upheavals at the global level.”

“Open-ended real estate funds bring long-term stability to the portfolio and remain the only alternative for private investors in this function. However, investors should take a close look: the quality of the properties, a broad spread of risk and active, forward-looking management are decisive.”
