Property prices in the coronavirus crisis. Recession in the property market?


The pandemic caused by COVID-19 has a massive impact on financial markets and the economy worldwide. Many investors, property owners, potential home buyers and landlords are therefore asking themselves: Is the coronavirus crisis also affecting the real estate market? Are property prices rising or falling due to the coronavirus? We will get to the bottom of these and similar questions in the following.


1. Are property prices falling as a result of the coronavirus crisis?

2. Property price development for residential real estate due to the coronavirus crisis

3. Should I wait with the purchase/sale of my property?

4. How property sales work in the coronavirus crisis?

    1. Are property prices falling as a result of the coronavirus crisis?


    Worldwide share prices are falling and companies are experiencing heavy losses in turnover. This justifiably raises the question of how property prices will develop in times of the coronavirus crisis. According to current information, no unusual developments have yet been noted. It is therefore not yet foreseeable that real estate prices will fall due to COVID-19. On the contrary, it appears that the property market will remain stable in terms of prices, especially in the major cities.

    The reason why the coronavirus crisis does not seem to have had much impact on property prices at the moment is relatively simple: real estate does not lose its attractiveness for investors in these times. A home can still be considered a stable investment in times of crisis.

    2. Property price development for residential real estate due to the coronavirus crisis


    Looking at the current property price developments, no unusual trends can be seen for the year 2020 so far. According to current information, prices in the major cities remain stable. However, no reliable statements can be made as to whether this will also be the case in the future. For a prognosis of how COVID-19 will affect property prices, there is simply too little market data available at present to assess the impact of the coronavirus crisis on the real estate market. However, as described, no major slumps have yet been recorded. This once again demonstrates the value stability of an investment in real estate.

    3. Should I wait with the purchase/sale of my property?


    Understandably, some owners and potential buyers are currently uncertain whether a property investment makes sense. From our point of view, however, we can overcome these concerns: in view of the largely unchanged market situation at present, there is no economic reason for investors and owners not to buy or sell a property. The low interest rate levels keep offering attractive funding options. For investors and potential buyers, the opportunity of real estate is therefore unchanged. In addition, thanks to the modern tools from Engel & Völkers, nothing stands in the way of marketing in times of the coronavirus crisis. The following section explains how a property sale currently works.

    4. How property sales work in the coronavirus crisis?


    The crisis caused by COVID-19 raises the question for many real estate owners whether a property sale can be carried out safely at the present time. In fact, Engel & Völkers has the most modern, digital tools at its disposal to handle house sales even when personal inspection of a property is no longer possible:

    Virtual viewings with Matterport



    Physical viewings of properties have become almost impossible due to the coronavirus crisis. Understandably, neither seller nor buyer want to be exposed to any health risks. But thanks to our cooperation partner Matterport, this is no longer an obstacle to selling a house. With the help of a modern 360° camera, a virtual 3D image of the property is created, which then allows you to view the property as if you were there - all from the comfort of your own home. Discover for yourself what such a virtual property tour can look like:

    Even in times of COVID-19, we at Engel & Völkers are committed to making the marketing of your real estate a success or helping you find your new home. We would gladly inform you about all our digital options that can help you. We look forward to hearing from you.
