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 — Düsseldorf
Düsseldorf, the capital of North Rhine-Westphalia — Germany's most populous state — is a major financial and fashion center with a distinctly international character. Home to one of Europe's largest Japanese communities and a thriving consulting and telecommunications sector, the city generates diverse, high-quality rental demand.
Property prices of €3,500–5,500/m² are below Munich and Frankfurt while offering comparable yields of 3.5–5%. The city's Königsallee shopping district, Rhine waterfront, and proximity to Cologne create lifestyle appeal that supports premium rents in central neighborhoods like Oberkassel and Pempelfort.
Germany's tenant-protection laws create a stable, predictable rental environment that appeals to institutional and conservative investors. For those seeking exposure to the eurozone's largest economy with minimal volatility, Düsseldorf offers a balanced proposition of reliable income and steady long-term appreciation.
