Mid-term market trends for the rental market
In the coming years, the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg expects a population influx related to the growth of its economic and financial centre. First, newcomers tend to rent to familiarize themselves with the country. Therefore, the demand for properties is expected to increase considerably. Although many, the new projects will certainly not be enough to meet this growing demand. Rents will therefore tend to increase in the city but also in the other regions of the Grand-Duchy.
