Statement by Mark Aengevelt
The 2025 transaction equation in the real estate market: An established network and personal relationships enable the implementation of sustainable investment stories.
That's exactly why the international real estate fair MIPIM in Cannes, France, was exciting again this year!
The most important questions in advance were:
• Who is on site (again) this year?
• Does the weather contribute to the revival of the market?
• Who will really make it to Cannes despite ver.di?
Those who had made it to the Côte d'Azur in rainproof outfits found out in numerous conversations that even in this still young real estate year, little will be "easy", but that many things will continue to be piecemeal in some cases.
On the positive side, more money to be allocated specifically for real estate investments has been collected compared to recent years. However, those who can identify and acquire the product that specifically suits them are unfortunately (still) the exception. This is precisely why face-to-face meetings, close coordination and competent transaction support are needed more than ever.
Accordingly, it was noticeable in Cannes: It's about networking, personal exchange, strengthening resilient relationships. The focus was thus on the traditional virtues of the industry. If there is noticeable confidence among all parties involved in the transaction again, the basis for liquid new business will be created.
This is exactly what was worked on at MIPIM.
