Real estate bubble – The big topic in Spiegel this week. What happens when the real estate bubble bursts? The cycle leading to the real estate bubble is quickly explained: If interest rates rise again soon, theoretically fewer people will be able to afford new financing and loans for new construction or their own home. Therefore, with low interest rates, more and more people will want to invest money in alternative ways. This ensures that other forms of investment become more attractive, so less money is flowing into the market for real estate and in the long term demand will fall, which in turn will lead to falling prices. Especially in the mirror this week is about renewed speculation around another bubble in the real estate market (read more: Emergence of a real estate bubble). All real estate news can be found right here: Real Estate News.
What is a real estate bubble? Many who hear the word real estate bubble first wonder what the term is all about. A real estate bubble is a form of a speculative bubble. The term real estate bubble states that real estate is being sold at overpriced prices and is generally overvalued. The higher these prices get, the bigger the real estate bubble gets until it finally bursts after reaching its peak. Once it bursts, prices fall abruptly.
The Spiegel reports this week that economists currently see increased alarm signals in the current speculation on the real estate market. Therefore, economists classify the bubble risk at 92 percent. Further, the mirror sees an overheating in the real estate market: For these cities and counties experts warn of a bubble. It becomes critical under circumstances for real estate owners. As described in the WDR: “Who would have to sell his object, in order to come at money at present, obtains only lower prices, says Voigtländer. The financing model set up together with a bank could then waver. But those who keep their property in the medium or long term do not feel any direct effects.”
Where are property prices rising the most?
The price trend is currently strongest in the south of Germany. Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg but also neighboring states such as Hesse and Rhineland-Palatinate have to contend with rising prices per square meter. What annoys the buyer of houses and condominiums, is for house sellers of course an absolute blessing, because currently top prices can be achieved, as you can see here in the statistical analysis:
Admittedly, the current real estate market is in motion and heated up. Real estate prices per square meter have been rising for some time. What is and remains certain is that real estate is still one of the few investment properties that currently still yield sufficiently attractive returns for investors.

Despite the current and long pending discussion about a real estate bubble, the investment does not seem completely absurd. Learn more here: Real estate as an investment.
