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 — Leipzig
Leipzig is eastern Germany's fastest-growing city and a magnet for creative professionals and startups. Property prices remain 40-60% below Berlin, making it one of Germany's best value-for-money investment destinations. The Südvorstadt, Plagwitz, and Lindenau neighborhoods are particularly popular. Strong population growth and limited new construction support continued price appreciation.
