All articles →Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
After Spain: Where Europe’s Foreign Property Money Goes Next
Spain is now late-cycle and crowded for foreign buyers — so where does Europe's property money rotate next? CASABROVA separates revealed preference, structural quality (the Score) and timing (the Master Index), and maps the case for Romania, Poland and the UAE.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — June 2026
June’s briefing is a one-time Score reset: Netherlands, Ireland and Poland cluster at the top; Spain, Portugal and Czechia remain in withdrawal; Greece is at peak; Germany and the UK move toward recovery; Romania enters the Virtual Portfolio.
Market Review — Berlin
Berlin is Germany's capital and one of Europe's most watched property markets. Average prices of €4,500–6,000/sqm are rising after years of underperformance versus Munich and Hamburg, driven by tech sector growth (Berlin is Europe's startup capital), population growth of 1%+ annually, and constrained new construction. LTR yields of 3.5–4.5% are modest by CASABROVA standards, but appreciation potential is strong.
Germany's Mietpreisbremse (rent brake) limits new-let rents to 10% above the local Mietspiegel (rent index) in designated areas, affecting STR-to-LTR conversion strategies. STR (Zweckentfremdung) regulations require registration and cap short-term rentals at 90 days/year for non-primary residences. These regulations make Berlin primarily an LTR + appreciation play rather than a yield play.
Key considerations: Germany's 26.4% CGT drops to 0% after 10 years of ownership — a powerful incentive for long-hold strategies. Purchase costs are among Europe's highest: 6% transfer tax + 1.5% notary + 3.5% agent = ~11% all-in. The market's depth and transparency make Berlin suitable for institutional-quality investments.
