FAQ
The market reports from Engel & Völkers Research provide details on purchase and rental prices, price multiples and yields, as well as location maps and socio-economic and demographic indicators for each asset class and region. This data is supplemented by transaction figures, location rankings and development trends.

The interactive charts and tables on the Research pages are continuously updated with data from Engel & Völkers’ databases. They therefore always display the latest available figures.

In addition, the Research Team publishes regular brief analyses and assessments of current market developments.
he purchase price multiple (also known as the multiplier) indicates how many times the annual net rent is paid as the purchase price. A multiple of 25 means that the purchase price is 25 times the annual net rent. The gross initial yield is the reciprocal of the multiple: for a multiple of 25, it is 4.0 per cent. The net initial yield deducts management costs that cannot yet be passed on and is therefore always lower than the gross initial yield. Both figures are relevant for investment decisions.
