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.
Romania Gets the Signal. Poland Stays on Watch.
Why CASABROVA is entering one Eastern European market through its model framework, while waiting for a cleaner entry signal in the other.
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 — Brasov
Brasov combines Transylvanian charm with growing tourism infrastructure. The city is Romania's top domestic tourist destination, driving strong short-term rental demand. The Old Town, Schei, and Bartolomeu neighborhoods offer diverse investment opportunities. With prices 30-50% below Bucharest and improving airport connectivity, Brasov represents excellent value for yield-focused investors.
