EXPO REAL 2025 has come to an end. The weather in Munich was much worse than the mood in the exhibition halls.
More concrete, more solution-oriented and forward-looking – what does that mean?
The exchange of profiles and possible common points of contact was precise and based on concrete comparative transactions. Investors and users know the framework parameters within which they can do business.
Once the right starting point has been found, the parties move towards each other in a result-oriented manner. It seems that EXPO REAL served the participants again this year after longer phases of maturation to get an up-to-date opinion and to pick up on the positive tailwind to get the deals over the finish line before the end of the year. Higher interest rates and construction costs as well as a macro environment characterized by exogenous factors are noted, but are no longer a reason to postpone deals or cancel them altogether. Rather, answers are sought as to how the deal can be concluded under the current conditions.
The rear-view mirror no longer counts – from which purchase price factors, interest rates and construction costs we come – which has so often made the match between supply and demand impossible. The here and now is the new "truth".
And in this new truth, it is important to generate business. Concrete, solution-oriented and forward-looking – almost like in the "good old days".
