All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
Germany's Housing Correction Created a Search Opportunity — Not a Buy Signal
From 2022 to 2024, Germany's official index for existing homes fell 11.2%, while the new-home index fell 2.0%. Construction prices kept rising and completions dropped to their lowest level since 2012. That combination may have created opportunities in selected existing properties. It did not make Germany, or even German resale housing, automatically cheap.
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 — 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.
