<blockquote>“ ''The prices for condominiums continue to rise, while real estate prices for existing houses and new buildings remain stable with minimal price declines'' ,” explains Stefan Münter, Co-CEO and board member of Europace, explaining the house price index. “ ''The bottom has long been reached and we continue to see a clearly high demand for real estate. We expect prices to rise in the coming months and see a slow shift from a buyer’s market to a seller’s market. The feasibility is unlikely to improve and the supply will decrease again in the future. It is therefore essential to keep a close eye on the economic conditions and to react flexibly to changes'' ,” adds Münter.</blockquote><blockquote>" ''The current data clearly show that the price decline on the German housing market is over, but it also shows that there is still headwind in the price regatta'' ," says Sebastian Hein, Director of Market Data at VALUE Ag, analyzing the current figures. " ''The rental markets have also taken a breather, which only seems to indicate an easing after the extreme dynamics of the last few quarters. The rental supply is continuing to decline and moving is therefore becoming more difficult even without new price impulses'' ," he continues.</blockquote>
