invesco real estate summary says european yields strong
News Posted On: 29 January 2010
What many overseas property analysts have surmised was confirmed this week in the Invesco real estate summary: that property prices have fallen faster than rental rates in most overseas property markets, leaving rental yields at some pretty impressive levels.
Of course the Invesco analysis covers only Europe, but one of its key findings is that rental yields on residential properties are running higher than their long term averages in most European countries.
Invesco hasn't gone so far as to link this with the explanation above, but it does make sense given that this has been so widely forecast by some many industry professionals from letting agents to pundits.
Another of Invesco's key findings is that property values in France, Spain the UK and Germany are sensible, though they do not say whether this is in all sectors, just residential, just commercial or just any of the commercial sub-sections.
Apart from that the report suits on the fence of 2010's prospects for recovery; saying that most markets in most places will see neither growth nor significant falls in 2010, but that the year will be spent stabilising in preparation for a return to near normalised growth in 2011.
One thing they did say would be a positive event in the coming months would be the increased liquidity in the banking sector, would finally start to filter through to business and consumer users, mainly as a result of increasing demand.
