The ECB is leaving the key interest rate at 2.00 percent, signaling that it is waiting for the time being. It is likely to be a well-chosen period for a pause in interest rate cuts after the ECB reaches the neutral range of its monetary policy in June 2025. For the real estate market, this means above all planning security: financing should remain possible at short notice at similar conditions, which will facilitate transactions and stabilize project calculations. Noticeable effects would only be expected in the event of a further interest rate cut or an increase in risk premiums
