Germany's real estate investment market demonstrated a robust recovery in the first quarter of 2025, with a transaction volume of €7.4 billion, marking a 17 percent increase year-over-year [1]. The residential segment led the growth, with a significant 173 percent rise in transaction volume to €2.2 billion. The commercial segment, however, saw a 7 percent decline to €5.2 billion, with office properties and retail contributing the most to this segment.

Large-scale transactions, totaling €2.85 billion, accounted for 40 percent of the total transaction volume. Notable transactions included the sale of the Upper West in Berlin by the German family-owned Schoeller Group. Portfolio transactions also surged by 73 percent to €2.6 billion, while single-asset transactions remained stable.

The market was driven by domestic investors, who remained more active than their international counterparts. International investors, however, increased their capital by 35 percent, with notable participation from European and North American investors.

Yields in the prime segment continued to stabilize, with slight yield compression only observed in grocery-anchored retail parks and food markets. The interest rate trend, which has been favorable for the real estate sector, is expected to continue supporting the market.

FrontView REIT Inc. (FVR), a fully integrated, self-managed real estate investment trust, reported stable adjusted funds from operations (AFFO) per share and strong rental collections in Q1 2025 [2]. The company revised its acquisition guidance for the year to $125-$145 million, reflecting a cautious approach amidst changing market conditions. The REIT maintained a high occupancy rate of 96% across its portfolio.

Looking ahead, the German real estate investment market is expected to continue its positive momentum, with a potential transaction volume of €40 billion for the full year. The market's growth is expected to be driven by strategic asset management and active investment strategies.
